A suitable supply cable should be fed through the grommet on the underside of the appliance,
connected to the live, neutral and earth connections on the terminal block and secured with
the cable clamp provided.
Check all electrical connections for security and tightness.
The appliance has a working thermostat adjustable between 25ºC and 75ºC.
An over temperature cut-out is incorporated within the thermostat which is designed to
