Connecting to the mains
terminal
Warning
This appliance must be earthed.
• We recommend you use a new length of 6mm2 twin
core and earthed cable to ensure your safety.
• Make connection as shown below by proceeding as
follows: -
• Pre-form 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 un-insulated 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 terminal and check
they are held by tugging each one in turn.
• Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the
outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that
the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause
any fouling.
• Place fuse/miniature circuit breaker in circuit and
switch on at mains.
Checking electrical
connections
Correct electrical connection can be confirmed when switching
on the appliance, as the timer will be flashing.
Connecting to a hob or cooker
point
• Either follow in general terms the instructions for
connecting to the terminal block or refer to the hob
suppliers installation instructions.
Warning
Feed the cable through the cabinet and arrange to
route the cable away from the appliance which may
become hot.
