Earthing of This element
Please could you clarify the instructions for Earthing this new style Smeg 2000W fan oven element. In your first comment you say "you need to attach the earthing lead using a screw to the element" then you go on to say that you need to "isolate the earthing strap as the element is earthed when it is screwed into the cavity" - which is correct? Do I need to attach the earth lead or not? Thanks

If the original element has an earth wire going to it, then the fitting engineer can connect the wire to the fixing stud or bolt on the element fixing bracket. If there is a loose earth wire left at the element because there is no earth connection available it must be pulled back into the wiring harness and then made safe with insulating tape and must not left in an unsafe position. If the element does not have an earth wire present, By fixing the element to the cavity /chassis with the fixing stud or bolts it will pick up its earth path through the chassis providing there is an earth source at the mains connector block.
