WARNING! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect electrical power at the breaker box or fuse box before installing
this appliance. Please make sure the unit is properly grounded for safety.
Use copper conductors only. Failure to follow these indications could result
in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnecting when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Always verify proper
operation after servicing.
The appliance is fi tted with an approved 15 Amp fl exible cord which must be
connected to a correctly grounded power line. The manufacturer is not liable
for any direct or indirect damage caused by faulty installation or connection. It
is therefore necessary that all installation and connection operations are carried
out by qualifi ed personnel complying with the applicable local and general
regulations.
The wire section on the cable must not be less than1.5mm (3×1.5cable). Use only
the special cables available at our service centers.
CONNECTING THE FEEDING CABLE TO THE MAINS
Connect the feeding cable to a plug suitable for the load indicated on the rating
plate of the product. In case of a direct connection to the mains (cable without
plug), it is necessary to insert a suitable omnipolar switch before the appliance,
with minimum opening between contacts of 3 mm (the grounding wire should not
be interrupted by the switch).
Before connecting to the main electrical wiring, make sure:
• The electrical system of your home and socket are able to withstand the
maximum load required to run the oven (see rating plate).
• The supply system is regularly grounded, according to the local regulation
codes.
• The socket or the omnipolar switch can easily be reached after the installation
of the oven.
• If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible, have the socket replaced
with a suitable model by a qualifi ed technician. The technician will also have
to ensure that the cross section of the socket cables are adequate for the
maximum load required by the oven.
• After carrying out the connection to the main electrical wiring, make sure the
supplying cable does not come into contact with parts subject to heating. The
cord should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more
than 125°F with respect to the room temperature anywhere along its length.
