INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
If a replacement cable is fitted it must be 250v high temperature rubber/synthetic of 0.75mm2 minimum conductor size. Connect the replacement cable to the terminal block on the hotplate as shown.
Plug connection)
For a plug connection a three pin plug to BS1363 with a capacity of not less than 13 ampere must be used and fitted with a 3 ampere fuse ‘ASTA’ approved to BS 1362.
After replacing the fuse the cover must be refitted. If the cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover has been obtained from your supplier. The colour of the correct fuse carrier is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess, or stated elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse carrier.
IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:-
GREEN AND YELLOW: | EARTH |
BLUE: | NEUTRAL |
BROWN: | LIVE |
The wires should be connected into the terminal of your plug as shown:
POLARITY CHECK
The hotplate must be connected to the power supply. Your meter should be set on 300V ac scale.
Test at the hotplate terminal block:
1.Test leads from L to N. Your meter should read approx.
2.Test leads from L to E. Your meter should read approx.
3.Test leads from N to E. Your meter should read approx.
If the readings are different from these values there is an electrical fault. Rectify any fault and repeat the test. If necessary repeat the test at the supply system socket/spur
-if the fault also occurs at this stage then there is a house system fault which requires attention by the Electrical Authority.
The customer should be warned NOT to use the appliance until this examination has been carried out.
Hotplate
Check each burner in turn. There is a spark ignition system that works when the knob is pressed in. Each burner also has a special safety device that stops the flow of gas if the flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol (
).
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to the off position and wait one minute, then try again this time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
Customer care
Please complete your contact details in the front of this section. Please inform the user how to operate the hotplate and hand over the instruction pack.
Thank you.
Electrical checks
EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK
The hotplate must be disconnected from the power supply. Set your meter to 
(ohm) on the X1 scale and adjust to zero if necessary.
Test the leads from the earth connection on the hotplate terminal, to the earth pin on the hotplate plug. The resistance should be less than 1
(ohm). If it is not, check all the earth wires for continuity. Check that all contacts are clean and tight. 
(ohm) there may be a problem, consult a qualified electrical engineer.
