INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
If a replacement cable is fitted it must be 250v high
temperature rubber/synthetic of 0.75mm
2
minimum
conductor size. Connect the replacement cable to the
terminal block on the hotplate as shown.
For a plug connection a three pin plug to BS1363 with
a capacity of not less than 13 ampere must be used and
fitted with a 3 ampere fuse ‘ASTA’ approved to BS 1362.
After replacing the fuse the cover must be refitted.
If the cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover has been obtained from your supplier.
The colour of the correct fuse carrier is that of the
coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess, or stated
elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when
ordering a replacement fuse carrier.
IMPORTANT The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:-
GREEN AND YELLOW: EARTH
BLUE: NEUTRAL
BROWN: LIVE
The wires should be connected into the terminal of your
plug as shown:
Electrical checks
The hotplate must be disconnected from the power
supply. Set your meter to (ohm) on the X1 scale and
adjust to zero if necessary.
Test the leads from the earth connection on the hotplate
terminal, to the earth pin on the hotplate plug. The
resistance should be less than 1 (ohm). If it is not, check
all the earth wires for continuity. Check that all contacts
are clean and tight. Re-check. If the resistance is still
greater than 1 (ohm) there may be a problem, consult a
qualified electrical engineer.
POLARITY CHECK
The hotplate must be connected to the power supply.
Your meter should be set on 300V ac scale.
Test at the hotplate terminal block:
1. Test leads from L to N. Your meter should read
approx. 220-240V ac.
2. Test leads from L to E. Your meter should read
approx. 220-240V ac.
3. Test leads from N to E. Your meter should read
approx. 0-15V ac.
If the readings are different from these values there is
an electrical fault. Rectify any fault and repeat the test. If
necessary repeat the test at the supply system socket/spur
- if the fault also occurs at this stage then there is a house
system fault which requires attention by the Electrical
Authority.
The customer should be warned NOT to use the appliance
until this examination has been carried out.
Check each burner in turn. There is a spark ignition system
that works when the knob is pressed in. Each burner also
has a special safety device that stops the flow of gas if the
flame goes out.
Push in and turn a knob to the large flame symbol ( ).
Keep holding the knob pressed in to let the gas through
to the burner for few seconds. The igniter should spark
and light the gas.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to
the off position and wait one minute, then try again this
time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
Please complete your contact details in the front of
this section. Please inform the user how to operate the
hotplate and hand over the instruction pack.
