ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the
appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage, and the
mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the oven’s power rating (also indicated on the identification
plate). If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician.

NOTE: For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power points as
these may overheat and catch fire. Do not install separate timers.

After having installed the appliance, the switched outlet must always be in an accessible position.

The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the cooktop is correctly and efficiently earthed,
always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have any doubts call in a licensed electrician to check the
system. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from an installation which has not been
correctly earthed.

LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS

Installation is only permitted by a licensed electrician, and carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation might cause harm and damage, for which the
manufacturer accepts no responsibility.

WARNING: If any damage occurs to the power cable during or after installation, it must be replaced immediately
by a licensed electrician with a replacement cable from your Service Centre.

The cooktops are to be connected to a single phase 220-240Vac 50 Hz supply (leaving the connections between
points 1-3 in place) or 3 phase 380-415Vac 50Hz supply (removing the connections between points 1-3). They
are earthed via the cable.

The mains terminal block is located on the underside
of the cooktop and the terminals are accessible by
removing the terminal block cover by removing the
cover screw. Connect the appliance as shown in the
diagram to the right.

The appliance is designed for fixed connection to the
mains. During installation, an all pole disconnector
should be included inside the supply circuit with a
contact opening of at least 3mm (rated 32A, delay
functioning type). The power supply cord must not
touch against any hot surfaces and must be placed so
that its temperature does not exceed 75 °C at any
point along its length.

IMPORTANT: The appliance must NOT be connected
to the mains supply by means of a 10A or 15A plug and socket.
