Preliminary operations
Remove the appliance from the packaging, ensure that it is intact and, if in doubt, do not use it but
contact professionally qualified personnel. After verifying that the appliance is in good conditions,
the protective film may be removed. Clean the appliance external parts carefully with warm water
and detergent using a cloth to remove all remaining residues, and then dry them with a soft cloth. If
there are still traces of glue residues, remove them using a suitable solvent (e.g. acetone). Under no
circumstances use abrasive substances. After the installation the appliance has to be levelled by
regulating the adjustable feet.
Electric connection
Before connecting the appliance, it is necessary to check that the voltage of the available power
supply corresponds to the voltage the appliance has been set for. If they do not correspond, it is
necessary to modify the connection as shown in the electric diagram, if voltage change is provided
for. The junction box (4) is situated behind the base (3) as shown in fig. 5, page 3 and it can be
removed by unscrewing the screws (2) that fix the bride (1). Furthermore, it is necessary to check
that the earthing wire is efficient, that the earth conductor on the connecting side is longer than the
other conductors, and that the connecting cable has a wire bunch adequate for the power absorbed
by the appliance, and that the connecting cable is at least type H05 RN-F. As in international
provisions, before setting up the appliance a unipolar device has to be installed with a contact
opening of at least 3mm that must not interrupt the YELLOW-GREEN earthing wire. This
device has to be installed near the appliance, has to be approved, and have adequate capacity for the
absorption of the appliance (see technical features).
The appliance has to be connected to the EQUIPOTENTIAL system. The connector is situated near
the end of the electric cable and it is identified by a label with the symbol shown on fig.4 (pag.3).
While using a safety thermostat for breakdown tensions, it is necessary to note what follows:
-
According to the normative law in force, the leakage of electric power for this kind of
appliances can have a value of 1 mA without limitations for the maximum for each kW of
installed power. Besides, it must be noted that all the switches for breakdown to be found on
the market have a tolerance for the operating tension of less than the 50%; therefore, a
suitable switch has to be chosen.
-
Connect only one single appliance to each switch.
-
In some cases, after long periods of inactivity or in case of a new installation, it is possible
that the appliance switches off during the setting-up. The main reason is usually the moist
produced during the isolation. The problem can be easily solved through a short pre-heating
bypassing the safety thermostat.
