Means for Isolating the Appliance
•
When connecting the hob, there must be an approved device which makes it possible to
universally disconnect it from the mains supply with a contact opening width of at least
3mm.
•
Line-protecting switches, fuses, or contactors are suitable cut-off devices.
•
The isolation switch MUST remain accessible after installation, ideally above the worktop (refer to sections
- Routing the Power Cable and Technical Specifications for fuse rating).
•
For additional safety, we recommend the use of an RCD device.
When connecting / repairing: Disconnect it from the electricity supply using one of these devices.
Routing the Power Cable
•
Ensure the mains power cable is not clamped, bent, trapped, or in contact with parts of the appliance that
may become hot.
•
If the cable is damaged, replacement must be carried out by a qualified professional using appropriate
tools. The mains cable should not exceed 2m for safety reasons.
•
Route the mains lead away from the appliance, preventing it from being trapped between the appliance,
worktop, cabinetry or wall.
•
The power cable should be checked for any kind of damage regularly after installation.
Power Requirement
•
Connection to mains power must be carried out with
strict adherence to the circuit diagram on page 16.
•
Mains voltage must be the same as that shown on the
hob rating plate.
•
Only connect to a fixed building wiring system using
a double pole, switched, fused spur outlet with a
minimum contact separation (air gap) of 3mm.
