B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before carrying out the electrical connection make sure, referring to the data on the
identi
fi
cation plate, that:
• the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage speci
fi
ed for the appliance;
• the household system and the power outlet can support the power of the ap-
pliance.
The rating plate is af
fi
xed on the door stop.
• Connection to the electrical mains supply must be carried out by quali
fi
ed
personnel in accordance with current regulations.
• The installer is responsible for correct connection in compliance with safety
regulations.
• A plug that is adequate for the power of the appliance must be attached to
the power supply cable. The plug must be connected to a power outlet that
has an earth connection.
•
The connection can be made to an omnipolar switch with a minimum
opening of 3mm between the contacts, of adequate size for the power
and compliant with current regulations.
• The earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
• The socket or omnipolar switch used for the connection must remain acces-
sible when the domestic appliance is installed.
• The power supply cable must not be able to touch points that are 50°C above
the ambient temperature.
• Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and risk
of burns. If the power supply cable is replaced, the new cable must have a
cross-section of no less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable) and must resist tem-
peratures up to 90°C.
It is mandatory to attach the appliance to the earthing system. Our company
declines all responsibility for non-functioning of the earthing system and for
connections that are not compliant with the provisions of the law.
