INSTALLATIONCheck the appliance is gas sound when you have finished.29Electrical Connectionnn WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.This appliance must be installed by a qualified electricianto comply with with current AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rulesand regulations in force.All external wiring must comply with the local regulationsfor the Electrical Equipment of Buildings. Connection tothe electrical supply can be made with either a plug andsocket or be permanently wired via a double-pole switch,having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles.Current Operated Earth Leakage BreakersThe combined use of your cooker and other domesticappliances may cause nuisance tripping, so werecommend that the cooker is protected on an individualRCD (Residual Current Device) or RCBO (Residual CurrentBreaker with Overload).If in doubt, please consult a suitably qualifiedelectrician.The appliance is supplied with a 250 V high temperature PVC(85 °C) 3-core cable, 0.75 mm2, 2 m long. If a replacementcable is fitted it must be to this specification. The cookeris supplied with a moulded plug fitted. Should the plug(where supplied) not fit the socket in your home, it should beremoved and replaced with a suitable plug.Note: If a moulded plug is fitted which is not suitable, itmust be cut off and disposed of properly. To avoid the riskof electrocution, the moulded plug must not be left wherechildren might find it and plug it into a supply socket. It mustnot be used for any other appliance.Any new plug fitted MUST have insulated terminals.The wires should be connected into the terminals of yourplug as follows:• Earth: To the terminal marked E, or coloured GREEN orGREEN/YELLOW.• Neutral: To the terminal marked N, or coloured BLACKor BLUE.• Active: To the terminal marked A, or coloured RED orBROWN.When wiring the plug make sure that all strands of wire areretained in each terminal.The flexible mains lead, plug and socket must not be directlyexposed to flue products or be in contact with hot surfaces.The lead must not be trapped or pulled taut when theappliance is pushed into position.An isolation switch shall be provided and mounted nearthe cooker, in a readily accessible position, in compliancewith AS/NZS 3000 and/or AS/NZS 5601 as applicable for theappliance configuration.Plug in the appliance. Turn on the electricity supply.If there is an electrical fault carry out the following checks:Earth Continuity CheckThe cooker must be disconnected from the power supply.Using an multimeter or ohmmeter to check the resistance,test the leads from any of the cooker’s earth points (e.g. insideelectric box cover) – to the earth pin on the cooker’s plug –resistance should be less than 1 Ω. If it is not, check all theearth wires for continuity.Check that all contacts are clean and tight. Recheck. If theresistance is still greater than 1 Ω there may be a problem, soconsult a qualified electrical engineer.Polarity CheckThe cooker must be connected to the power supply. Yourmeter should be set on 300 V ac scale.Test at the cooker terminal block:1. Test leads from A to N. The meter should read about240 V ac.2. Test leads from A to E. The meter should read about240 V ac.3. Test leads from N to E. The meter should read about0-15 V ac.If the readings are different from these values there isan electrical fault. Rectify any fault and repeat the test. Ifnecessary repeat the test at the supply system socket/spur – ifthe fault also occurs at this stage then there is a house systemfault that requires attention by the Electrical Authority.The customer should be warned NOT to use the applianceuntil this examination has been carried out.
