INSTALLATION

WARNING

WARNING

This appliance must be installed by an authorised person in
compliance with local municipal building codes and any
other relevant statutory regulation.

Wiring connections must be made in accordance with:
New Zealand & Australian requirements, including
AS/NZS 3000 WIRING RULES.

Refer to data plate for rating information. The data plate is
positioned on the bottom of the oven front, viewable with
the oven door open.

• Electrical connection is 230–240 volts AC 50 Hz.

• To gain access to the mains connection terminals, remove
the rear cover by unscrewing the two assembly screws.

• The cooker requires a means of all pole disconnection
incorporated into the fixed wiring. This MUST have a
disconnection gap of 3mm.

• The cooker MUST be earthed. Any damage caused by
failure to earth will not be covered by warranty.

• This range must be connected with cable of 75°C
rating minimum.

• This product has passed the insulation resistance test
after manufacture. If the resistance reading is low at
installation, it is probably caused by moisture from the
atmosphere being absorbed by the elements after the
range has been produced. (Pass at 0.01MΩ AS/NZS
3000 Wiring Rules Clause 8.3.6.2).
