Electrical connection

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate (situated under the hob). Make sure that the local supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity supply

For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto a cable and connect to a suitable socket.

To connect direct to the mains supply, a double pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3mm suitable for the load and complying with current standards and regulations must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply outlet.

The green-yellow earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.

The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it reaches a temperature of 50° C above room temperature. For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply, both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of the oven for repair, maintenance etc.

DO NOT use adapters as they could cause overheating or burning.

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

the limiter switch and the domestic system can withstand the load from the appliance (see rating plate).

the supply system is efficiently earthed according to standards and laws in force.

the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible when the appliance is installed.

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
