Guidelines for European Appliances
Note: - A method of disconnection from the main supply having a contact separation of least 3mm in all poles
must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• It is recommended that an R.C.D. with a 30ma trip and contact rating to suit the appliance current be
installed adjacent to the appliance.
• Type C/ 3 circuit breakers or appropriate rated fuses are recommended for installation at the supply end.
Note: - surge currents are present when this appliance is switched on from cold.
• Industrial plugs and sockets must comply with BS 4343/EN60309 (IEC309.2/CEE17).
Supply Cable Connection
• It is recommended that the power supply cable shall be an oil resistance sheathed flexible cable to BS
6007 (code designation HO7 RN-F).
• It is required that the power supply cable connection to the appliance terminal block, the earth conductor
is to be made at least 50mm longer than the length of the live (L) and neutral (N) conductors so that if the
supply cable is strained the earth conductor is the last to become disconnected.
• To gain access to the control panel and mains block connection, remove the 4-side panel securing
screws on the drive side of the oven.
• The mains block is sited toward the bottom right hand side of the control box. Cable entry is provided
through the base of the oven.
• Refer to the mains wiring diagram for correct connection.
Operating
Please read the operating instructions thoroughly and ensure all packaging ha s been removed before switching
main power ‘On’.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that whoever is operating this appliance is fully conversant with it’s working and is made
aware of the dangers of incorrect operation.
Safety Cut-Out
For added safety all VGG ovens have a built in thermal cut-out to protect against over-heating through component
failure or incorrect use. If for any reason the thermal cut-out operates, the oven will automatically shut down and
should be switched ‘Off’, disconnected from the mains and allowed to cool.
NOTE: - The thermal cut-out will not re-set automatically.
The oven must not be re-used until a qualified electrician or BKI service agent has checked it.
