Meaning
It is crucial to safe and reliable operation of the appliance that the electrical system is installed carefully
and correctly. All the rules and regulations listed here, and the described procedure, must be strictly
followed.
Requirements
Check that the following requirements have been met:
The connection point of the appliance is not connected to the customer power supply.
Eligibility of installation personnel
Only electricians qualified under the terms of EN 50110-1 and from an authorized customer service
office are permitted to connect the appliance.
Equipment provided by customer and electrical installation regulations
The table below shows what equipment must be provided by the customer and what regulations must be
observed when connecting the appliance.
Component Description
Fuse
The hood must be fused with a residual-current device with a suitable current
rating. This ground fault circuit interrupter must not be used to protect any other
loads. Follow the applicable installation regulations.
Equipotential bonding
The hood must be incorporated in an equipotential bonding system.
Equipotential bonding: electrical connection that ensures that the frames of
electrical equipment and any external conductive components are at an equal (or
practically equal) potential.
Disconnection device
An all-pole disconnection device with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm
must be installed close to the appliance. The disconnection device is used to
disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for cleaning, repair and
installation work.
Power cord
The power cord must be an oil-resistant, sheathed, and flexible cable in ac-
cordance with IEC 60245 (e.g. H05RN-F, H05VV-F). The power cord's nominal
cross section must be at least 1.5 mm².
Main terminal block
The main terminal block is located inside the electrical wiring compartment.
Cable gland
The cable gland serves as a strain relief mechanism and must be tightened firmly.
Control cable
Implementation regulations
The electrical supply connection must be implemented in compliance with the following regulations:
VDE (0100/0700) or relevant regulations of local professional associations
Currently valid regulations of the local energy provider
Carrying out the electrical installation
Step Action
1
Fit a safety plug suitable for the country of use.
2
Plug in the power cord's safety plug into a socket with a grounding contact.
