B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before carrying out the electrical connection make sure, referring to the data on the identification plate, that:

•the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage specified for the appliance;

•the household system and the power outlet can support the power of the ap- pliance.

The rating plate is affixed on the door stop.

•Connection to the electrical mains supply must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current regulations.

•The installer is responsible for correct connection in compliance with safety regulations.

•A plug that is adequate for the power of the appliance must be attached to the power supply cable. The plug must be connected to a power outlet that has an earth connection.

•The connection can be made to an omnipolar switch with a minimum

opening of 3mm between the contacts, of adequate size for the power and compliant with current regulations.

•The earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.

•The socket or omnipolar switch used for the connection must remain acces- sible when the domestic appliance is installed.

•The power supply cable must not be able to touch points that are 50°C above the ambient temperature.

•Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and risk of burns. If the power supply cable is replaced, the new cable must have a cross-section of no less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable) and must resist tem- peratures up to 90°C.

It is mandatory to attach the appliance to the earthing system. Our company declines all responsibility for non-functioning of the earthing system and for connections that are not compliant with the provisions of the law.
