Electricity supplies
Once satisfactory locations have been established, the electrical supplies to the appliances must be
arranged.
Hob only
A 3-pin plug socket with an earth contact, if one does not already exist, should be installed beneath the
work surface and near to the hob location, where it is easily accessible.
The 3-pin socket should be close enough so that the appliance can be easily plugged in without stretching
the mains supply cable.
The mains supply cable must be routed away from hot surfaces.
Oven only
A 3-pin plug socket with an earth contact, if one does not already exist, should be installed on the wall
behind the oven, and a suitably rated isolator switch should be installed to one side of the unit, above the
work surface or at similar height, for easy access in case of emergency (Figure 7).
This installation must be carried out in accordance with current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations and Building
Regulations (Part P).
If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician
The mains voltage must correspond exactly to that which is specified on the data plates.
