Connecting the supply cable to the mains
The appliance must be connected to a double pole isolating

The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of
it can reach a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guar-
anteed if the cooker is correctly and efficiently earthed,
in compliance with regulations on electrical safety.
Always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have
any doubts call in a qualified technician to check the
system. The manufacturer denies all responsibility for
damage resulting from a system which has not been
earthed.
Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that
the specifications indicated on the rating plate (on the
appliance and packaging) correspond to those of the
electrical and gas mains of your home.
Check that the electrical capacity of the system and
sockets will support the maximum power of the
appliance, as indicated on the data plate. If in doubt,
consult a qualified technical engineer.
If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible,
have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a
qualified technical engineer. The latter, in particular, will
also have to ensure that the cross section of the socket
cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the
appliance. The use of adapters, multiple sockets and/or
extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be
avoided, remember to use only single or multiple
adapters and extensions which comply with current
safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the
maximum current capacity indicated on the single
adapter or extension and the maximum power indicated
on the multiple adapter. The plug and socket must be
easily accessible.
