Indesit VRM 640MC Hob

[Sonia Lord]

Hi does anyone have a pic of the wiring ? Ive downloaded all the manuals but none are very specific !Thanks

Is the hob fitted with a cable which has five wires in it?

 

[Sonia Lord]

There are no wires coming out of it - its a box which a 6mm has to be wired into but all the manuals aren't helpful.

How did you buy this hob ? Why did it come without the lead ?.

The diagrams in the manual suggest that Live is to terminals 1 and 2 with Neutral to terminals 4 and 5 Earth to terminal 6.

From your photo it can be seen that terninals 3 and 2 are linked

This might help but I would strongly suggest you ask Indesit for confirmation that terminals 1, 2 and 3 are all connected when the supply is single phase.

Hi the hob is new and doesn't come with a lead - ive asked Indesit and they said none of their appliances comes with leads ! nor would they advice over the phone but offered to charge me for an electrician !

I suggest you bring this to their attention -

The photo clearly shows L, N & an earth symbol on terminals 1, 5 & 6 what more information do you need?

Hobs in Europe are often connected to a split phase supply, the wiring allows you the installer to select how it is connected, a meter will quickly verify what is connected to what, likely Neutral is a single wire and line needs link in UK as we don't normally have split phase, some remote farm houses may, but it is rather rare.

Ive quoted the manual to Indesit and they said the manuals are out of date. The manual we got with it doesn't state that its supplied with a cable.

 

[Sonia Lord]

When you put the cable in 1 it passes through 2 - when you put the cable in 2 it passes through 3 and so forth ! Tomorrow Im looking for a sparky in my area who will probably charge me the earth to do a 2 min job which of course will be really simple to him !

You are stripping too much insulation from the conductors, just cut some of the wire off so that you only have enough to be clamped in the terminals.
