LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Installation is only permitted by a licensed electrician and carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation might cause harm and damage, for which
the manufacturer accepts no responsibility.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the
appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage,
and the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the cooktop’s power rating (also indicated on
the identification plate). If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician.
NOTE: For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power
points as these may overheat and catch fire. Do not install separate timers.
After having installed the appliance, the switched outlet must always be in an accessible position. The
electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the cooktop is correctly and efficiently earthed,
always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have any doubts call in a licensed electrician to check the
system. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from an installation which has not
been correctly earthed.
WARNING: If any damage occurs to the power cable during or after installation, it must be replaced
immediately by a licensed electrician with a replacement cable from your Service Centre.
The cooktops are to be connected to a single phase 220-240Vac 50 Hz supply. They are earthed via the
cable. The cables must be a minimum of 4mm² each. See diagram below for connections.
The mains terminal block is located on the underside of the cooktop and the terminals are accessible by
using a screwdriver to remove the terminal block cover. Connect the appliance as shown in the diagrams
below.
The appliance is designed for fixed connection to the mains. During installation, an all pole disconnector
should be included inside they supply circuit with a contact opening of at least 3mm (rated 32A, delay
functioning type). The power supply cord must not touch against any hot surfaces and must be placed so
that its temperature does not exceed 75 °C at any point along its length.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance must NOT be connected to the mains supply by means of a 10A or 15A plug
and socket.
