Electrical Connection Legal Requirements
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible wall socket which is adjacent to and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance. The socket must be capable of electrical isolation. The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e. the back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug as outlined below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The severed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of in a safe manner. DO NOT LEAVE where children might find it and plug into a supply socket - This is an obvious hazard and extremely dangerous.
We recommend that the appliance is connected by a competent electrical installer, who is a member of a recognised "competent persons" scheme and who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations.
Where a fixed connections is used, a device allowing the appliance to be isolated on all poles from the mains supply with a contact opening width of at least 3mm must be provided.
If the Fitted Plug is Removed
This appliance must be earthed.
