CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY 
SUPPLY 
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
Do not earth this appliance to the gas 
supply piping. 
Connect to 230-240 A.C supply only.
Connection to the electricity supply should be made 
via a properly earthed, readily accessible wall 
socket. Which is adjacent to, but not directly above 
and not more than 1.7m away from the appliance 
and capable of electrical isolation. The cooker point 
should be within 1.7m of the appliance to make it 
accessible to switch off the appliance in case of 
emergency. The mains lead should be routed so 
that it cannot touch hot parts of the cooker i.e. the 
back panel above a height of 650mm from the floor. 
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your 
home it should be cut off and replaced with a 
suitable plug as outlined below. 
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced. 
Please contact your local Service Force Centre. 
If the moulded plug is cut from the cable for any 
reason it must be destroyed or disposed of 
safely, as protruding wires will be an electrical 
shock hazard. 
If the fitted plug is removed.
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected 
as below to three pin plug of not less than 13amp 
capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must 
be fitted with a 3 amp fuse which is approved to B.S. 
1362. 
Important: The wires in the mains lead fitted to the 
appliance are coloured in accordance with the 
following code. 
GREEN AND YELLOW -EARTH

BROWN -LIVE 
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this 
appliance may not correspond with the coloured 
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, 
proceed as follows:- 
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must 
be connected to the terminals in the plug which is 
marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol ( ) 
or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire 
which is coloured blue, must be connected to the 
terminal which is marked with the letter N or 
coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, 
must be connected to the terminal, which is marked 
with the letter L or coloured red. 
Ensure that the cable does not become trapped 
when pushing the appliance into position. 
If a moulded plug is fitted.
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 
3 amp ASTA approved fuse to B.S. 1362 must be 
fitted. 
Note
:
The fuse cover must be refitted when
changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse 
cover the plug must not be used until a replacement 
fuse cover has been obtained and fitted.
