It must be connected by a competent electrician to a single-
phase electricity supply at the voltage shown on the dataplate,
using a suitable fixed wiring installation in accordance with local
and national wiring regulations.
n A 3-wire circular cord of minimum conductor size 4 mm
cross-section area should be used.
