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.11 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 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. 11.
•
Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to
the cooker point / junction box.
•
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 / 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.
