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. 7 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	Fig.7
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. 7.

•Place fuse/miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.

Checking Electrical

Connections

Correct electrical connection can be confirmed when switching on the appliance as the timer will be flashing.

Note: House Circuit

Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried out before the appliance is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.

Connecting to a Hob or

Cooker Point

•Either follow in general terms the instructions for connecting to the terminal block or refer to the hob suppliers installation instructions.

Feed the cable through the cabinet and arrange to route the cable away from the appliance which may become hot.
