Connecting the suppl y cable to the mains
The appliance must be directly connected to the mains
using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum
contact opening of 3 mm installed between the
appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be
suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with
current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not
be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable

The installer must ensure that the correct electrical

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate ( see below ).
• The voltage is in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate ( see below ).
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it.
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be
easily accessible.
The cable must not be bent or compressed.
