14.5 Checks
Earth conductor check
D0000071793
Check the earth conductor (in Germany DGUV3, for example)
on the test contact between the water connections and on
the earth conductor contact of the power cable.
Insulation resistance
To check the effectiveness of the insulating properties of the ap-
pliance, we recommend conducting a differential current test of
the earth conductor current/leakage current.
