I'm having some problems understanding how to connect some electric wires for a platetop.
The wire colors normally mean, blue=N, brown=L, and yellow/green=PE.
My problem is, the platetop has L1 & L2:
When I connect the blue wire to L1, nothing happens. When I connect the blue wire to L2, then the platetop works, but only half of them on the right.
This is how it's connected now:
What am I doing wrong?

THIS IS NOT A JOKE- THIS APPLIANCE NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED PROPERLY
This is how it should be wired using 220-240volt
BUT
There are some things to consider first!
The wires you are using to connect to .. are they the provided wires? there should have been a solid copper U bridge to connect L1/L2 to each other too!? Where is it?
If that is not the original cable you must consider using 2.5mm solid core cable
But also the wire that is in the plug should be the same/similar type! and it should be DEDICATED ONLY meaning no other plugs on that line
Before the stove you need an isolation switch (any electrician that says this is not needed is a bad electrician!)
And MOST IMPORTANT
A 8AMP (MAX 1700WATT) on 2.5MM Solid Core Dedicated Line!!!
Be warned if you do not meet these requirements you are putting your self at a electrical fire risk - and this is for ALL 220VOLT Installation anywhere in the world. If you have ome insurance and it burns down and they find that your new stove did not meet these electrical rules.. sorry - insurance void!! Even after installation you need a NEW electrical test certificate to certify there are no GROUND leaks! or micro shorts!
