APPLIANCE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electric connection must comply with the current legal standards and regulations.
Before making the connection, check that:
•
The system electrical rating and the current outlets are adequate for the
maximum power output of the appliance (see the label applied to the bottom of
the casing).
•
The outlet or the system is equipped with an efficient ground connection in
accordance with the current legal standards and regulations. The manufacturer
will not be responsible for the non-compliance with these instructions.
Letter L (phase) = brown wire;
Letter N (neutral) = blue wire;
Ground symbol
= green-yellow wire;

•
The power cord must be positioned so that a
temperature of 75°C
will not be reached at any
point.
•
Do not use reductions, adapters or splitters since they might cause false contacts and
lead to dangerous overheating.
When the connection is made directly to the electric network:
•
Use a device that ensures disconnection from the mains in which the contacts are
opened to a distance that permits complete disconnection according to the conditions for
over-voltage category III.
•
Remember that the ground wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker.
•
As an alternative, the electric connection can also be protected by a high-sensitivity
residual current circuit- breaker but this may be subject to nuisance tripping due to
residual humidity in heating elements.
•
It is highly recommended to attach the special green-yellow ground wire to an efficient
ground system.
WARNING: If the power cord is replaced, the ground wire (yellow-green) connected to the
terminal, should be longer than the other wires by about 2 cm.
WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
