ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY ONLY.

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 and 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; the main oven burner bracket under the plinth

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.

NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket – with the obvious consequent danger.

IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED

The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3 amp fuse which is approved to B.S. 1362.

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is

marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, do not use 2-pin sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size i.e. 0.75mm2 cross sectional area and temperature rating of 850 C e.g. heat resisting PVC.

IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED

In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 must be fitted.

NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
