correct when connecting it. You can
fi nd more detailed information about
this on the nameplate.
Connection to the mains supply may
■

connection from the power supply
and dismantling the old appliance.
Since all poles of the appliance can-
■
not be disconnected from the mains
via an accessible disconnecting de-
vice, an all-pole disconnecting device
in accordance with overvoltage cat-
egory III must be connected within
the house installation with at least 3
mm contact clearance; this includes
fuses, miniature circuit breakers and
protective devices.
Safety
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
■
sible after installation, an all-poles
disconnecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
Before connecting the device, switch
■
off the relevant electric circuit(s)
(switch off circuit breakers or unscrew
fuses).
Never open the housing.
