WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the
supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate
(situated under the hob). Make sure that the local supply
voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity
supply
For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug
suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto a
cable and connect to a suitable socket.
To connect direct to the mains supply, a double pole switch
with a contact separation of at least 3mm suitable for the
load and complying with current standards and regulations
must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply
outlet.
The green-yellow earth wire must not be interrupted by the
switch.
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it
reaches a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.
For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the
oven must be connected separately to the electricity
supply, both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of
the oven for repair, maintenance etc.
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause overheating or
burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
• the limiter switch and the domestic system can
withstand the load from the appliance (see rating
plate).
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to
standards and laws in force.
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible
when the appliance is installed.
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the

Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or
or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or
