It must be ensured that the voltage and current indicated on the
rating plate agree with the voltage of the user to electricity supply.
If the appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a
moulded-on type plug, the following regulations must be comply
with:
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse. For
replacement, use a 5 amp BS1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or
certified fuses should be used. If the fuse cover/carrier is lost, a
replacement cover/carrie must be obtained from an electrical
goods retailer. If the socket outlets are not suitable for the plug
fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and destroyed
for safety reasons, and an appropriate plug be fitted.
When wiring the plug ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug.
Electrical connections
230 V - using fixed power supply line with plug.
240 V - using fixed power supply line (Great Britain).
Fuse rating 13 amps
(The unit should only be connected up by an authorized electrician).
See rating plate for further information.
It is recommended that the socket for the plug is sited above the
cooker hood or above the overhead cabinet.
This has 2 advantages:
1) The socket is not visible.
2) The appliance can easily be unplugged when necessary.
If a fixed connection is required the cooker hood should be
connected by an electrical installer registered with a competent
electricity company. An isolating device is to be provided on the
fixed wiring side. Switches with a contact opening of more than
3mm apply as isolating devices.
These include-automatic cut-out switches, fuses and contactors
(VDE 0730, s. 7, Part1).
