Electrical Connection
 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.
 The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
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
coloured Red or Brown.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or
coloured Black or Blue.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-
PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE
MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.
Replacing the cable
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a
suitable cross section 3 x 0.75 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer
than the other wires.
