Electrical connection

All electrical work should be under- taken by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accord- ance with national and local safety regulations.

Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer can not be held responsible for unauth- orised work.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while installation or repair work is being carried out.

U.K., IRL, NZ, ZA: The cooker hood is supplied for connection to an a.c.

230 V single phase 50 Hz supply.

AUS: The cooker hood is supplied for connection to an a.c. single phase 240 V, 50 Hz supply.

The voltage, rated load and fusing are given on the data plate. This is visible when the grease filters have been removed. Ensure that these match the household mains supply.

For U.K.: Connection should be made either by a double pole fused spur con- nection unit, or a fused plug and a suit- able switched socket. The On-Off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in. When switched off there must be an all- pole contact gap of 3 mm in the switch (including switch, fuses and relays ac- cording to EN 60 335).

If the socket is not accessible after in- stallation (depending on country) an ad- ditional means of disconnection must be provided for all poles.

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD) with a trip current of 30 mA (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664, VDE 0100 Section 739).

Do not connect via an extension lead.

Important UK

If the appliance is fitted with a non-re- wireable plug (BS 1363 UK) and the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug supplied, or if the existing plug needs to be replaced by a new one, the old plug will need to be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. The fuse car- rier and the fuse should be removed from the old plug and disposed of. The plug cut from the cable should then be disposed of, and on no account be in- serted into any socket elsewhere in the house (electric shock hazard).

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug or the colour that is embossed in words in the base of the plug (as applicable to the design of plug fitted).

The correct fuse rating of the replace- ment fuses that are ASTA approved to BS 1362 should be fitted. Replacement fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical suppliers or Service agent.
