ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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.
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.
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 can be connected to either a single phase 220-240Vac 50 Hz supply, or 2 phase 380-415Vac
50Hz.
SINGLE PHASE CONNECTION
First, a bridge connection must be made between terminals 1 and 2 (live) and between 3 and 4 (neutral).
Connect the pairs to the live and neutral power supply cables. Connect the ground terminal to the ground
supply cable.
TWO PHASE CONNECTION
First remove any bridge connection between terminals 1 and 2 (live). Place a bridge connection between 3
and 4 (neutral). Connect terminals 1 and 2 to the live power supply cables. Connect either terminal 3 or 4 to
the neutral power supply cable. Connect the ground terminal to the ground supply cable.
The mains terminal block is located on the underside of the cooktop and the terminals are accessible by
removing the terminal block cover using a small flat screwdriver.
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, 15A or 20A
plug and socket.
The maximum current drawn in a single phase installation is 32A, and 2x16A for a two phase installation. Only
use cables Tmax 90C types H05RN-F, H07RN-F, H05RR-F, H07RR-F etc.
