Electrical Connection; Replacing The Power Supply Lead - Whirlpool AKC921C/IX User Manual

Electrical connection

The appliance is profited to operate with a power
supply voltage of 230Vsingle-phase. The connection
must be made in accordance with the regulations and
laws in force.
Before making the connection, make sure that:
1) the safety circuit-breaker and the electrical
system are able to withstand the load of the
appliance(see nameplate).
2) The power supply system has an earth
connection in good working order in accordance
with the regulations in force;
3) The socket or omni polar switch use are easily
accessible with the appliance installed.
Fit a plug suitable for the load on the power lead and
connect it to a suitable safety socket.
If you wish to make a direct connection to the mains,
an omni polar switch with a gap between the contacts of at least 3 mm, of suitable
rating for the load and complying with the regulations in force, must be installed
between the appliance and the mains. The switch must not break a contact in the
yellow/green earth wire.
The brown live wire (connected to the "L" terminal of the terminal board) must
always be connected to the live wire of the power supply mains.
In all cases, the power supply lead must be positioned so that it does not reach a
o
temperature 50 C above the room temperature at any point.
One example of an ideal route is shown in the illustration. The cable is guided by
means of band clamps fixed to the side of the cabinet, in order to avoid any contact
with the appliance underneath the hob.

Replacing the power supply lead

If the lead has to be replaced, only HO5RR-F or
HO5RN-F type cables suitable for the load and the
operating temperature must be used. In addition, the
yellow/green earth wire must be about 2 cm longer than
the live and neutral wires.
