MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
CONNECTING TO THE MAINS TERMINAL
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
We recommend you use a new length of 6mm2 twin core and earthed cable to ensure your safety.
Make connection as shown in Fig. 12 by proceeding as follows:-
Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit fitting into the mains terminal block.
Strip inner insulation on wires using wirestrippers.
Twist the bared wires using pliers.
Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.
Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and check they are held by tugging each one in turn.
Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 12.
Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to the cooker point / junction box
Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.
