Ikea hob - terminal confusion

PeteOP · 8 Mar 2007

I have an ikea hob to connect. The picture on the back shows three terminals marked E R N. It was amde in Italy. I am used to Earth Live and Neutral. Any suggestions?

Have you got the instruction leaflet?

PeteOP · 8 Mar 2007

Yes, but I can see no other information regarding wiring.

The picture on the back of the hob also shows different diagrams for conection with cables with more than three wires, but the one with ERN is marked as UK only.

Think Rob's right. It must be E P N.

PeteOP · 9 Mar 2007

No definitely E R N. Have taken a photo - bit blurry. Spoken to ikea the won't give out info re electric appliances to general public.

how are the terminals themselves marked?

can you see wires going away from the other side of the terminals?

PeteOP · 12 Mar 2007

Terminals are marked Earth, 1 2 3 (which are joined together by bits of brass looking meta) and 4.

I can't see the wires on the other side
