Safety Instructions for the Installer
•
A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows
the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a
contact opening width of at least 3 mm.
Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses
(screw type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage
trips and contactors.
•
In respect of fire protection, this appliance corresponds to
EN 60 335-2-6. This type of appliance may be installed with a high
cupboard or wall on one side.
•
Drawers may not be fitted underneath the hob.
•
The installation must guarantee shock protection.
•
The kitchen unit in which the appliance is fitted must satisfy the sta-
bility requirements of DIN 68930.
•
For protection against moisture, all cut surfaces are to be sealed with
a suitable sealant.
•
On tiled work surfaces, the joints in the area where the hob sits must
be completely filled with grout.
•
On natural, artificial stone, or ceramic tops, the snap action springs
must be bonded in place with a suitable artificial resin or mixed ad-
hesive.
•
Ensure that the seal is correctly seated against the work surface with-
out any gaps. Additional silicon sealant must not be applied; this
would make removal more difficult when servicing.
•
Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Oth-
erwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and
windows are opened.
•
The hob must be pressed out from below when removed.
•
Clean the worktop around the cut-out area.
•
Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape provided on the under-
side of the hob around the outside edge ensuring that it is not
stretched. The two ends of the tape should join in the middle of one
side. After trimming the tape (allow it to overlap by 2-3 mm), press
the two ends together.
