Electrical Connection
Connecting the supply cord to the electrical mains:
The hob must be connected to a double pole mains switch
which must be installed between the appliance and the
mains. The double pole mains switch must have a minimum
of 3mm of space between the contacts, be sized to the
load and comply with current regulations (the switch must
not be able to disconnect the earth conductor).
The supply cord should conform to BS6004 conductor size
4mm
2
and must be positioned so that no part of it reaches
a temperature of 50°C higher than room temperature.
Before making the connection, make sure that:
•
the limiter switch (fuse) and the residual wiring can support
the appliance load (see the rating plate, below).
•
the mains system is properly earthed in compliance with
current regulations and provisions.
•
there is easy access to the socket or the double pole
mains switch after the appliance is installed.
•
the isolation switch must not be positioned directly above
the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, the electrical
connection for the hob must be independent of that for the
oven, both for safety reasons and to facilitate the removal of
the oven for maintenance, repair etc.
