Safety instructions
■
Turn off the power source before installing the cooking surface.
■
Do not operate the appliance until it has been properly installed within
cabinetry or into an opening in the countertop!
■
Only qualified personnel should perform installations and repairs on electrical
appliances. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance yourself unless
specifically recommended in this manual. Don’t put your safety at risk.
■
The glass ceramic surface is very tough and can easily withstand light to
medium blows and loads distributed over large areas. You should avoid
dropping concentrated loads like spice bottles onto the surface. The impact
of such items can damage the cooking surface.
■
If the cooking surface becomes fractured or cracked, quit using it
immediately. Disconnect the power source and call Customer Service.
■
The connecting cable must not come in contact with the hot cooking surface.
General
■
Due to the installation dept of 200 mm (7-7/8") the induction hob cannot
be installed above an standard application!
■
To remove the glass ceramic surface, lift it laterally – never lift it by the
front panel!
■
Do not use a screw driver to lift the appliance out of the opening or you
could damage the frame of the appliance. Instead, press the appliance out
from the bottom of the opening in the countertop or cabinetry.

Dimensions and distances
Concerning A*:
A = 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the
cooking suface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or
A = 24 inches minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet is protected
by not less than 1/4-inch-thick flame-retardant millboard covered with no
less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-
inch-thick aluminium, or 0.020-inch-thick copper.
Hoods above the cook top should be at least 650 mm (26") away from the
cook top.
Concerning B*:
Minimum distance corresponds to the width of the
appliance.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units,
do not locate cabinet storage space labove the surface units. If cabinet
storage must be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range
hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
Concerning C*:
This appliance can be mounted with two sides to a wall or
a cupboard side with a distance of at least 40 mm (1-9/16"). The third side
may only be positioned next to an appliance of equal height.
We recommend a horizontal distance between the appliance and mounted
cupboards of at least 300 mm (12") for ergonomical reasons.
