Air gap
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at
hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep
wall covering should not obscure this gap.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood
should be a minimum of 685mm above the
hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is
level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted
to the appliance to accommodate uneven
floors.
Connecting to the electricity supply
Warning! This appliance must be
earthed. Do not earth this appliance to
the gas supply piping. Connect to 230 -
240V AC supply only.
• The electrical connection should be made
using a double pole isolating switch (cook-
er socket) with at least 3mm contact sep-
aration in all poles. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sec-
tional area to prevent overheating and de-
terioration.
• We recommend you use a new length of
2
6mm twin core and earthed cable to en-
sure your safety.
• Make connection as shown.
ENSURE THAT THE LINKS ARE
FITTED AS SHOWN

• Proceed as follows :-
– Preform wires to the appropriate shape
to suit fitting into the mains terminal
block.
– Strip inner insulation on wires using wire
strippers.
– Twist the bared wires using pliers.
– Cut bared wires 10mm away from the
end of the inner insulation. Where unin-
sulated Earth wires are used ensure they
are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm
bare wire to fit into the terminal.
– Clamp bare wires into the relevant ter-
minal and check they are held by tug-
ging each one in turn.
– Ensure all screws are securely tight-
ened.
– Clamp the mains cable securely ensur-
ing 5mm of the outer insuation is inside
the terminal block and that the wires are
not taut but not so slack as to cause any
fouling.
– Connect the remaining end of the mains
cable to the appliance to the appliance
point / junction box.
– Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in
circuit and switch on at mains.
HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage / continuity tests must be
carried out before the appliance is con-
nected to the mains supply and re-
checked after fitting.
