CONNECTING TO THE MAINS TERMINAL
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
•
We recommend you use a new length of 6mm
2
twin core and earthed cable to ensure your
safety.
•
Make connection as shown in Fig. 7 by
proceeding as follows:-
•
Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit
fitting into the mains terminal block.
•
Strip inner insulation on wires using
wirestrippers.
•
Twist the bared wires using pliers.
•
Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the
inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires
are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to
leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.
•
Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and
check they are held by tugging each one in turn.
•
Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of
the outer insulation is inside the terminal block
and that the wires are not taught but not so slack
as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 7.
•
Place fuse/miniature circuit breaker in circuit and
switch on at mains.
CHECKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Correct electrical connection can be confirmed when
switching on the appliance as the timer will be
flashing.
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried
out before the appliance is connected to the mains
supply and re-checked after fitting.
CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER
POINT
•
Either follow in general terms the instructions for
connecting to the terminal block or refer to the
hob suppliers installation instructions.
Feed the cable through the cabinet and
arrange to route the cable away from the
appliance which may become hot.
