Hotpoint GW74 Cooktop User Manual


 
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily
accessible wall socket which is adjacent to but not directly above, and not more than
1.25m away from the appliance and capable of electrical isolation.
The mains lead should be routed such that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e.
the back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced
with a suitable plug as outlined below.
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be
properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply
socket – with the obvious consequent danger.
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not
less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a fuse
which is approved to B.S. 1362.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this
appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW – EARTH
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The
wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol or coloured green or
green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. 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. As the appliance must be earthed, do
not use 2-pin sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be
carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of
the same size i.e. 1.0mm
2
cross sectional area PVC cable, available from our parts
department (see Back Cover).
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied an ASTA approved fuse to BS1362
must be fitted.
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained
and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The
colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in
the base of the plug.
Make sure that the cable does not become trapped when pushing the cooker into position.
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
