Connection to services

Electrical connection

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.

Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance until after installation or repair work has been carried out.

The appliance must only be operated when built-in. This is to ensure that all electrical parts are shielded. Live parts must not be exposed.

Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.

The voltage and connected load are given on the data plate. Ensure that these match the household mains supply.

Connection should be made via a suitable isolator or a double pole fused spur connection unit which complies with national and local safety regulations and the on/off switch should be easily accessible after the appliance has been built in.

If the switch is not accessible after installation (depending on country) an additional 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.

When switched off there must be an all-pole contact gap of 3 mm in the isolator switch (including switch, fuses and relays).
