Installing a Indesit Ceramic Hob

[phillberto]

I am replacing a broken ceramic hob with a new one. The hob was already pre-wired but the wiring is European (Red, Brown, Blue, Blue and Earth). The wiring in place is standard UK wiring (Brown, Black, Earth).

I'm trying to work out how to connect the wires and copper horseshoe provided. See photo. So far only two rings are working. What adjustments are needed?

(TRying to add image) added to album so far...

Is this information not in the instructions?

What is the make and model number?

Just noticed this post is exactly the same situation as me.

Advice seems okay. UNfortunately the original question asker didn't confirm if it worked.

Standard wiring Live, Neutral, Earth. Brown, blue, green/yellow.

INstructions are for a five core wiring. If you remove it the warranty isnt valid but its removed and uk wiring in place with only two rings working.

Model number Indesit VRM 640 X

The instruction manual doesn't completely help because the insructions only deal with the existing pre-wired installation.

I cannot make out from the picture how the links fit.

Also, I cannot add to what was said previously.

OK, from the manual.

Link 1, 2 & 3 together. That's the live

Link 4&5 together. Thats neutral

6 is the earth


Suggest u ignore the 5 core cable and connect as above.

Not sure if you are able to make out the wiring or not. The wiring seems to be in the right place. Two rings of four are working but not sure about the placement of the copper horseshoes.
