WARNINGS: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Important: The cooker must be connected to the mains
by a switched (double pole) cook er outlet correctly fused
with a capacity appropriate to that shown on the cooker
Rating Plate. All electrical wiring from the consumer unit
to the cooker, via the switched double pole cooker outlet,

Note: the supply cable must be positioned so that it nev er
reaches at any point a temperature 50°C higher than the
room temperature. The cable must be routed away from
the rear vents.
If the cooker is connected directly to the mains, an
omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum opening of 3
