Electrical Requirements
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a
competent person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National
Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be
installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
Electrical Connections
The installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate
corresponds with the house electricity supply.
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible
position adjacent to the cooker.
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind
the cooker providing the following requirements are met:
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable
through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and
Television reception interference.
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used
to feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole
control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated
cables.
