Electrical Connection
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.
All external wiring must comply with the local regulations
for the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connection to
the electrical supply can be made with either a plug and
socket or be permanently wired via a double-pole switch,
having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles.
Current Operated Earth Leakage Breakers
The combined use of your cooker and other domestic
appliances may cause nuisance tripping, so we
recommend that the cooker is protected on an individual
RCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO (Residual Current
Breaker with Overload).
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE CONSULT A SUITABLY
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
The appliance is supplied with a 250 V high temperature PVC
(85 °C) 3-core cable, 0.75 mm
2
, 2 m long. If a replacement
cable is tted it must be to this specication. The cooker may
possibly be supplied with either a moulded or rewirable plug
tted. Should the plug (where supplied) not t the socket
in your home, it should be removed and replaced with a
suitable plug.
Note: If a moulded plug is tted which is not suitable, it
must be cut o and disposed of properly. To avoid the risk
of electrocution, the moulded plug must not be left where
children might nd it and plug it into a supply socket. It must
not be used for any other appliance.
Any new plug tted MUST have insulated terminals.
The wires should be connected into the terminals of your plug as
follows:
Earth: To the terminal marked E, or coloured GREEN or
GREEN/YELLOW.
Neutral: To the terminal marked N, or coloured BLACK or
BLUE.
Active: To the terminal marked A, or coloured RED or
BROWN.
When wiring the plug make sure that all strands of wire are
retained in each terminal.
The exible mains lead, plug and socket must not be directly
exposed to ue products or be in contact with hot surfaces.
The lead must not be trapped or pulled taut when the
appliance is pushed into position.
Plug in the appliance. Turn on the electricity supply.
If there is an electrical fault carry out the following checks:
Earth Continuity Check
The cooker must be disconnected from the power supply.
Using an multimeter or ohmmeter to check the resistance,
test the leads from any of the cooker’s earth points (e.g. inside
electric box cover) – to the earth pin on the cooker’s plug –
resistance should be less than 1 Ω. If it is not, check all the earth
wires for continuity.
Check that all contacts are clean and tight. Recheck. If the
resistance is still greater than 1 Ω there may be a problem, so
consult a qualied electrical engineer.
Polarity Check
The cooker must be connected to the power supply. Your
meter should be set on 300 V ac scale.
Test at the cooker terminal block:
1. Test leads from A to N. The meter should read about
240 V ac.
2. Test leads from A to E. The meter should read about
240 V ac.
3. Test leads from N to E. The meter should read about
0-15 V ac.
If the readings are dierent from these values there is
an electrical fault. Rectify any fault and repeat the test. If
necessary repeat the test at the supply system socket/spur – if
the fault also occurs at this stage then there is a house system
fault that requires attention by the Electrical Authority.
The customer should be warned NOT to use the appliance
until this examination has been carried out.
