up causing the container to burst.  
- operate the appliance when barefoot.  
SAFETY ADVICE  
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly  
for deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in  
close proximity to the cooking areas.  
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:  
1. Turn off the burners.  
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.  
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and  
rushing outside with it.  
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan  
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

HOW TO USE YOUR HOB  
Gas burners  
Practical advice on using the hob:  
On the control panel, the following symbols are indicated  
around each knob "M".  
Off  
To obtain maximum efficiency from the burners, we  
recommend you only use pans with a diameter suitable for  
the burner being used, so that the flame does not extend  
beyond the pan base (see the following table).  
When a liquid starts boiling, we recommend you turn the  
flame down just enough to keep the liquid simmering.

To light one of the burners, proceed as follows:  
• turn the appropriate control knob anti-clockwise until the  
pointer is on the high-flame symbol.  
• press the knob down fully to activate the automatic gas  
ignition.  
• keep the knob pressed down for about 6 seconds with  
the flame lit to allow the flame failure device to heat.  
• release the knob, checking that the flame is stable. If it is  
not, repeat the operation.  
The hob is fitted with a reducing pan  
stand (shown right) which should only  
be used on the auxiliary burner 'A'.  
For the best performance of your burners, keep the following  
in mind:  
All types of pans can be used on the burners. The important  
thing is that the bottom should be completely flat.  
For minimum power, turn the knob towards the low flame  
symbol. Intermediate positions are possible by simply  
setting the knob anywhere between the high and the low  
flame symbol.  
Important:  
• Do not activate the automatic ignition device for more  
than 15 consecutive seconds.  
• Difficulty in ignition is sometimes due to air inside the  
gas duct.  
• If a burner flame accidentally goes out, the gas continues  
to exit for a few moments before the flame failure device  
is activated. Turn the control knob to the off position and  
do not attempt ignition again for at least 1 minute, thereby  
letting the gas disperse, which could otherwise be a  
danger.  
• When the appliance is not in operation, check that all  
control knobs are set to the off position " ". The main  
gas supply tap should also be turned off.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN  
The 'Multi-function' oven combines the advantages of  
Fanned Grill  
convection ovens with those of fan assisted models in a  
single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that  
allows you to choose easily between 7 different cooking  
modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means  
of the function selector 'G' and the temperature selector 'H'  
situated on the control panel:  
Important: do not set the temperature selector 'H' over  
175°C.  
The heating element of the grill is activated, as well as the  
fan. This combination of features increases the  
effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating  
elements through forced air circulation throughout the oven.  
This helps to prevent foods from burning on the surface,  
allowing the heat to penetrate into the food.  
Oven light  
By turning the function selector to

switched on and allows you to observe the food in the oven  
without having to open the door. The oven light will come  
on automatically when the function selector 'G' is turned to  
any of the cooking modes.  
Warning: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven  
when it is in operation because this could damage the  
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium  
foil, etc.) on the shelves provided with the appliance inserted  
along the oven shelf guides.  
Fan assisted Mode  
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and  
250°C.  
Both the heating elements and the fan, will come on. Since  
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven,  
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire  
surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes  
at the same time, as long as their respective cooking tem-  
peratures are the same. A maximum of 2 shelves can be  
used at the same time, following the instructions in the  
section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Shelf”. This  
fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for dishes  
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably  
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,  
pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover,  
the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower  
temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss  
of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the  
loss of weight for the roast. This mode is especially suited  
for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of  
a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining their  
flavour and appearance.  
The Cooking Modes:  
Convection  
Position the temperature selector “H” between 50°C and  
250°C.  
The top and bottom heating elements are used. The heat is  
distributed evenly from the top to the bottom. The convec-  
tion oven is best for preparing meat-based dishes featuring  
beef or veal which require slow cook and basting. It is the  
best cooking mode for dry pastries and fruit in general.  
When cooking in convection mode, only use one baking  
tray or shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will  
be uneven. Select from among the various shelf positions  
based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from  
the top.  
Baking  
Bottom heating element  
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and  
250°C.  
By turning the function selector to this position, the bottom  
heating element comes on. This is recommended for  
finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is  
well cooked on the surface but still soft inside.  
Position the temperature control “H”: between 50°C and  
250°C.  
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing  
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This  
mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods-  
especially cakes that need to rise. Cooking is also possible  
on both shelves. The oven heats up very quickly, so the  
food to be cooked may be put in the oven as it is switched  
on.  
Minigrill heating element  
Important: do not set the temperature selector 'H' over  
200°C.  
Fast defrosting  
By turning the function selector to this position, the upper  
heating element comes on. This is recommended for  
finishing off the cooking of food (in baking trays) which is  
already well cooked inside but needs browning.  
Grill  
This function uses no heating elements, just the fan.

Food is cooked in the grill by the downward thermal rays  
produced by an incandescent electric cooking element. The  
extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes  
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts  
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The  
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require  
a high surface temperature: such as beef steaks, veal,  
fillet steaks, hamburgers etc...

COOKING ADVICE  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following are only a guide, which  
may be varied according to your own personal taste.  
You used more than one shelf (in the fan assisted  
oven mode) and they are not all at the same  
cooking point.  
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to  
remove the food from all the shelves at the same time.  
Preheating  
Using the Grill  
The Grill setting  
If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated oven  
(this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods)  
grills traditional foods perfectly (such  
as toasted sandwiches, hotdogs etc.). The Fanned Grill  
the 'fan assisted' mode  
can be used to reach the  
setting  
is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as  
desired temperature as quickly as possible. When  
preheating is over, place food in the oven and select the  
most appropriate cooking mode.  
Cooking on More Than One Shelf  
If you want to cook on more than one shelf at a time, use  
the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown  
the surface but also to cook the bottom part. This mode  
can also be used for browning foods at the end of the  
cooking process.  
Important: always use the grill with the oven door  
closed. This will allow you both to attain excellent results  
and to save energy (approximately 10%). For best results  
when using the grill, it is recommended to use the highest  
temperature (200°C) (175°C for fanned grilling), the grill  
pan should be placed on the higher shelf.  
the “fan assisted” mode  
When cooking food on several shelves keep the following  
suggestions in mind:  
.
The oven is fitted with 5 shelf positions. During fan  
assisted cooking, use two of the three central shelf  
positions; the lowest and highest shelves receive the  
hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could  
be burnt on these shelf positions.  
Cooking Fish and Meat  
Meat must weigh at least 1kg to prevent it from drying out.  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature  
settings from 150 °C to 200 °C. For red meat that should  
be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the  
inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature  
setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven  
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower  
the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of  
the shelf and place the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to  
catch the fat. Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it  
is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase  
the amount of heat from below, use the low shelf positions.  
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf position  
from the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require  
greater heat on the 2nd shelf position from the bottom.  
For example, when cooking meat roasts together with  
other food, place the roast on the 2nd shelf position  
from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th  
shelf position from the bottom.  
When cooking food that require differing times and  
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere  
between the two temperatures required, place the more  
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom  
and take the food requiring less time out of the oven  
first.  
Cooking Pizza  
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan  
assisted”mode:  
Use the baking tray on the lower shelf position and the  
shelf on the upper position.  
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.  
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the shelf  
supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this  
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a  
crispy crust.  
Baking Cakes  
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make sure  
you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly. Do not  
open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake from  
dropping. In general, if:  
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is  
cooking.  
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we  
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top  
halfway through the cooking process.  
Pastry is too dry  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Pastry has dropped  
Cooling ventilation  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Pastry is too dark on top  
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is fitted  
with a cooling fan that comes on when the function selector  
"G" is turned. In this case, the fan is always on and a  
normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven  
door and the control panel.  
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
It is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Note: when cooking is finished, the fan stays on until  
the oven has cooled down sufficiently, even if the  
function selector “G” is set to “0”.  
Once you have removed the food from the oven, we rec-  
ommend you leave the oven door ajar for a few minutes,  
this will drastically reduce the duration of the cooling cycle.  
The process is controlled by an additional thermostat and  
can consist of one or more cycles.  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour or use greaseproof paper.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance on your  
-
-
-
Voltage: 230/240 V  
Power: 15W  
Type E14  
appliance, you must disconnect it from the power supply.  
To extend the life of your appliance, it must be cleaned  
frequently, keeping in mind that:  
Replace the glass cover and reconnect to the mains  
electricity supply.  
The hob:  
The enamelled parts must be washed with warm water  
without using any abrasive powders or corrosive sub-  
stances which could cause damage.  
The removeable parts of the burners should be washed  
with warm soapy watermaking sure to remove caked  
on substances.  
The end of the electronic ignition device must be cleaned  
carefully and frequently, making sure that the gas holes  
are not clogged.  
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into  
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents  
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After  
cleaning, rinse with water and dry thoroughly. Use a  
specific non-abrasive product to remove tougher stains.  
It is also recommended that any spills be cleared  
immediately.  
Disassembling/assembling the oven door  
To make it easier to clean the inside of your oven, the oven  
door can be removed, by proceeding as follows (fig. 3-4):  
• Open the door completely and raise the 2 levers "B" (fig.  
3);  
• Now, shutting the door slightly, you can lift it out by pulling  
out the hooks "A" as shown in figure 4.  
To reassemble the door:  
• With the door in a vertical position, insert the two hooks  
"A" into the slots;  
• Ensure that seat "D" is hooked perfectly onto the edge of  
the slot (move the oven door backwards and forward  
slightly);  
• Keep the oven door open fully, unhook the 2 levers "B"  
downwards and then shut the door again.  
Inside the oven  
We recommend you clean your oven each time you use  
it, especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable  
to prevent food residue from building up during cooking:  
the residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is  
used and would char and release smoke and unpleasant  
odours.  
Oven exterior  
Clean the stainless steel exterior surfaces of your oven  
using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making sure you  
rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using abrasive or  
corrosive products which could damage them.  
DO NOT use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the  
oven.  
fig 4  
fig 3  
To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you may  
be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We strongly  
advise against this. The aluminium foil sheet in direct  
contact with the heated enamel coating could melt and  
damage the enamel coating inside the oven irreversibly.  
Oven rubber Seal  
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which  
guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the condition of  
this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it using  
warm water and dry thoroughly.  
DO NOT use abrasive products or objects to do so.  
Should the seal become damaged, please contact Hotpoint  
Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page). We  
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been  
repaired.  
Replacing the Oven Lamp  
Disconnect from the mains  
electricity supply and ensure  
the appliance is cool.  
Remove the glass cover of the  
lamp-holder.  
Remove the lamp and replace  
with a lamp resistant to high  
temperatures (300°C) with the  
following characteristics:  
11  
 
Troubleshooting  
Before calling service for assistance, check through the  
following list, there may be nothing wrong.  
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in  
the gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the  
gas valves for the mains are open.  
If your oven releases alot of smoke during cooking.  
Check to make sure that:  
You have selected the correct cooking mode for the type  
of food and the dish is in the correct recommended shelf  
position.  
The temperature is correct for the type of cooking  
required.  
The oven interior is clean. Food residue encrusted onto  
the enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred  
and creates both smoke and odours.  
If the burner does not light or the flame is not uniform  
around the burner.  
Check to make sure that:  
The gas holes on the burner are not clogged.  
All of the movable parts that make up the burner are  
mounted correctly.  
Dish is placed onto baking tray, splashes of grease or  
overflows onto very hot surfaces create smoke.  
There are no draughts around the cooking surface.  
If, despite all of these checks, the cooker does not function  
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see  
KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:  
- The type of problem.  
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as  
indicated on the warranty.  
If the flame does not stay lit.  
Check to make sure that:  
You press the knob all the way in.  
You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate  
the flame failure device.  
The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding  
to the flame failure device.  
IMPORTANT:  
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the  
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are  
not original.  
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".  
Check to make sure that:  
The gas holes are not clogged.  
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.  
If the cookware is not stable.  
Check to make sure that:  
The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.  
The cookware is centered correctly on the burner .  
The support grids have not been inverted.

INSTALLATION  
The following instructions are provided for qualified installers  
so that they may carry out installation, adjustment and  
technical maintenance operations correctly and in  
compliance with the applicable norms in force.  
Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical  
and gas supply before performing any maintenance or  
repair. Maximum caution should be used should it be  
necessary to keep the appliance connected to the  
electricity supply.  
fig.7  
The cooker has the following technical specifications:  
- Cat. II2H3+  
In a chimney stack or branched flue  
(reserved for cooking appliances  
Directly to the outside  
Kitchen ventilation  
The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed  
must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular  
combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room.  
Air must enter naturally through permanent apertures made  
in the outside walls of the room or through single or  
branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with  
the norms. The air must be taken directly from the outside,  
from an area far from sources of pollution. The ventilation  
aperture must have the following characteristics (fig. 8A):  
• total free cross section of passage of at least 6cm2² for  
every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with  
a minimum of 100cm2² (the heating capacity is indicated  
on the rating plate);  
Class 1  
Class 2 sub-class 1  
The dimensions of the appliance are given in the figure on  
page 5, 'KNOW YOUR COOKER'. For trouble-free operation  
of appliances installed in furniture cabinets, the minimum  
distances shown in fig. 5 should be observed. Adjacent  
surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able to  
withstand a temperature rise of 65 °C.  
• it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on  
the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;  
• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh, etc. in  
such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not  
reduced;

Positioning  
This appliance may only be installed and operated in  
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with the  
regulations in force. The following requirements must be  
observed:  
The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room,  
provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there  
is a risk of fire, such as warehouses, garages, fuel stores,  
etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the norms. The air  
flow from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated  
may pass freely through permanent apertures with a cross  
section at least equal to that indicated above. These  
apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap  
between the door and the floor (fig. 8B). If an electric fan is  
used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation  
aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum  
performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient  
capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3  
÷ 5 times the volume of the kitchen. Prolonged, intensive  
use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, e.g. an  
• The appliance must vent flue gases into a special hood,  
which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or  
directly to the outside (fig. 7).  
• If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan  
is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external  
wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the  
appliance.

INSTALLATION  
open window or a more efficient ventilation system by  
Check the seal  
increasing the extraction power of the electric fan if installed.  
Liquid petroleum gas descends towards the floor as it is  
heavier than air. Apertures in the outside walls in rooms  
containing LPG cylinders should therefore be at floor level,  
in order to allow any gas from leaks to be expelled. Do not  
store LPG cylinders (even when empty) in basements or  
rooms below ground level; it is advisable to keep only the  
cylinder in use in the room at any one time and connected  
far from heat sources which could raise its temperature to  
above 50 °C.  
Upon completion of installation, check for leaks from the  
gas circuit using a soapy water solution (never use a  
flame). Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate  
for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the  
burners are lit.  
Adapting to different types of gas (instructions for the  
hob)  
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas from the factory-  
set one (indicated on the rating plate at the top of the  
hood or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should be  
replaced as follows:  
Gas connection for the gas hob  
The hob should be connected to the gas supply by a CORGI  
registered installer. During installation of this product it  
is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the  
supply from the appliance for the convenience of any  
sebsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the  
appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried  
out according to the prescribed regulations in force, and  
only after it has been ascertained that it is adaptable to  
the type of gas to be used. If not, follow instructions  
indicated in the paragraph headed, 'Adapting to different  
types of gas'.  
• Remove the pan supports and slide the burners off their  
seats.  
• Unscrew the nozzles (fig. 9, using a 7 mm socket spanner  
and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas  
(see table 1 "Burner and nozzle specifications").  
• Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in  
the reverse order.  
• On completion of this operation, replace the old rating  
label with the one indicating the new type of gas used.  
This sticker is available from Hotpoint Service (see KEY  
CONTACTS, back page).  
In the case of connection to liquid gas, in a cylinder, a  
pressure regulator, that conform to the regulations in  
force, must be inserted.  
Adjusting the primary air of the burners  
The primary air of the burners does not need to be adjusted.  
Adjusting the low flame  
Important: for safety, for the correct regulation of gas  
use and long life of the appliance, ensure that the gas  
pressure conforms to the indications given in table 1,  
'Burner and Nozzle Specifications'.  
• Turn the tap to the low flame position;  
• Remove the knob and turn the adjusting screw, situated  
to the right of the tap (fig. 10) until you obtain a regular  
small flame, using a screwdriver (loosening the screw  
increases the height of the flame, tightening decreases  
it).  
Connection to non-flexible tube  
(copper or steel)  
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way  
as to not create any stress points at any part of the  
appliance. The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, 'L'  
shaped connector and a gasket for the attachment to  
the gas supply. Should this connector have to be turned,  
the gasket must be replaced (supplied with the apliance).  
The feeding connector of the gas to the appliance is  
threaded 1/2" gas male cylinder.  
N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw  
must be screwed in all the way.  
Having obtained the low flame setting required and with  
the burner lit, change the position of the knob several  
times from minimum to maximum and vice versa and  
check that the flame does not go out.  
In appliances fitted with the safety device  
(thermocouple), should the device fail to work with the  
burners set to the low flame setting, increase the low  
flame setting of the same on the adjusting screw.  
Connection to flexible steel tube  
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded,  
male  
1/2" connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes and  
sealing gaskets that conform to the standards currently  
in force.  
Once the adjustment has been made, remount the seals  
on the by-passes using leak detection fluid.  
it should be as short as possible, with a maximum  
length of 1.5 metres;  
it should not be bent or kinked;  
it should not be in contact with the rear panel of the  
appliance or in any case with parts which may reach a  
temperature of 50°.  
fig.10

it should not pass through holes or slits used for dis-  
charging the oven flue gases;  
it should not come into contact with pointed parts or  
sharp corners;  
it should be easy to inspect along its entire length in  
order to be able to check its condition;  
it should be replaced before the date printed on the  
actual pipe.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION  
Those ovens equipped with a three-pole power supply cable  
Connecting the supply cable to the mains  
are designed to operate with an alternating current with the  
voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (located  
on the appliance) and in the instruction booklet.  
The appliance must be connected to a double pole isolating  
switch, having a minimum contact separation of 3mm.  
The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of  
it can reach a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.  
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The wire for earthing the appliance is yellow-green in colour.  
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guar-  
anteed if the cooker is correctly and efficiently earthed,  
in compliance with regulations on electrical safety.  
Always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have  
any doubts call in a qualified technician to check the  
system. The manufacturer denies all responsibility for  
damage resulting from a system which has not been  
earthed.  
The appliance should be installed by a qualified electrician  
in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE regulations.  
Fitting on a power supply cable  
Opening the terminal board:  
Using a screwdriver, press on the side tabs on each  
side of the terminal board cover.  
Before plugging the appliance into the mains, check that  
the specifications indicated on the rating plate (on the  
appliance and packaging) correspond to those of the

Check that the electrical capacity of the system and  
sockets will support the maximum power of the  
appliance, as indicated on the data plate. If in doubt,  
consult a qualified technical engineer.  
If the socket and appliance plug are not compatible,  
have the socket replaced with a suitable model by a  
qualified technical engineer. The latter, in particular, will  
also have to ensure that the cross section of the socket  
cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the  
appliance. The use of adapters, multiple sockets and/or  
extensions, is not recommended. If their use cannot be  
avoided, remember to use only single or multiple  
adapters and extensions which comply with current  
safety regulations. In these cases, never exceed the  
maximum current capacity indicated on the single  
adapter or extension and the maximum power indicated  
on the multiple adapter. The plug and socket must be  
easily accessible.  
Pull open the cover of the terminal board.  
To mount the power supply cable, proceed as follows:  
Remove the wire clamp screw and the three contact  
screws L-N-  
Fasten the wires beneath the screwheads using the fol-
