Installation
35
Electrical connection
The appliance is usually supplied fitted with a power cord and 15
amp 3 pin plug. Install the cooker so that the plug is easily
accessible. Plug the 3-pin plug into a properly earthed, 15A
general purpose power outlet. The supply cable should be
positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than
75
℃
along its entire length.
If the appliance is not supplied with a plug or if connecting the
cable directly to the mains, connection to the electricity supply
must be made by an authorised person in accordance with the
Wiring Rules AS/NZS3000. The installation must include a suitable
isolating switch with a minimum contact opening of 3mm between
the appliance and the mains. The isolating switch should be sized
according to the load on the data label and should comply with
current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the
circuit breaker).
Before making the connection check that:
·
the switch, wiring and electrical system can support the
appliance load (see data plate);
·
the power supply system has an efficient earthing connection
which complies with the provisions of current regulations;
·
the power outlet or omnipoar circuit-breaker is easily accessible
once the cooker has been installed.
Replacing the power supply lead
If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid hazard.
Before leaving
When the installation is complete, always check for gas leaks using
a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this check.
Ignite all burners on high flame to ensure correct operation of gas
valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position
and observe each burner to ensure they ignite completely at all
ports and that the flame is stable. Conduct these checks for each
burner individually and concurrently.
When satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the
correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate
correctly after all checks have been carried out, please call the
Technika Service Centre.
