THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
Any electrical work required to install this hob should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.
Electrical Requirements
Any permanent electrical installation must comply with the latest I.E.E. Regulations and local Electricity Board regulations. For your own safety this should be undertaken by a qualified electrician, e.g. your local Electricity Board, or a contractor who is on the roll of the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC).
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the hob and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cable does not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.
Electrical Connections
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230 V 50 Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cable. This has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the load marked on the identification plate.To connect the plug to the cable,follow the recommendation given in diagram aside.The plug has to be fitted in a proper socket.
In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow | - Earth |
Blue | - Neutral |
Brown | - Live |
— Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the
letter 'E' or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
—Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N' or coloured black.
—Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cable clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
