21Electrical connectionsBefore connecting the appliance, check that thevoltage quoted on the rating plate - that is, the no-minal voltage of the appliance - corresponds tothe available mains voltage. The rating plate canbe found on the lower housing of the ceramicglass hob.D The mains connection must be carried out by anexpert electrician. The VDE-regulations and thevalid prescriptions by the local power suppyboards have to be compiled with.D Prior to connection it should be checked whetherthe voltage stated on the rating plate -- i.e. thenominal voltage of the appliance and of the oven/control box -- is identical with the prevailing mainsvoltage. The rating plate is located on the lowerhousing of the hob.D The heating element voltage amounts to 230 V ~.The appliance will also perfectly perform with theformer mains voltage of 220 V ~.D The mains connection must be carried out in away that an all--pole insulating device is existingwith a contact opening of at least 3 mm, e.g. LS--automatism, earth--leakage circuit--breaker orfuse.D A wire of type H05VV-F or of higher rating is to beused as supply cable.D The mains terminal is located in the bottom of theappliance behind a covering slide. It can be ope-ned with a screw driver (pict.).D According to existing mains voltage the appliancehas to be connected in correspondence with thediagrams of connecting possibilities. The bridgesof the terminal board are to be changed accordin-gly, if need be.D The protective conductor is to be connected toterminal . The protective conductor must belonger than live leads.D The cable connections have to be connectedas shown and the terminal screws be firmlytightened.D Afterwards the supply cable has to be secured bystrain relief device and the covering slide must beclosed by firmly pressing down until it engages.Prior to first use remove any existing labels andprotective film from the ceramic glass plate or theframe of the hob.After connecting the electrical supply, all cookingzones should be briefly switched on one after theother at their maximum power, in order to testwhether they are operational.strain relief deviceMains terminalin the base of the hobchanging brid-ges of the ter-minalConnecting possibilitiesÅgrün--gelb / green--yellowverde--amarilloblau / blue / azulElektrischer Anschlusselectrical connectionconexión elèctricaAnschlussleitung Muldeconnecting line hobconexiòn artesaPENL2L1ÖÑÉÇschwarz / black / negroschwarz / black / negro230V~Ågrün--gelb / green--yellowverde--amarilloblau / blue / azulElektrischer Anschlusselectrical connectionconexión elèctricaAnschlussleitung Muldeconnecting line hobconexiòn artesaPENL1ÖÑÉÇschwarz / black / negroschwarz / black / negro230V~
