Shut off power to circuit before connecting wires to circuit.
The heating element voltage is AC 230 V~. The appliance also works perfectly on
networks with AC 220 V~ or AC 240 V~. The hob is to be connected to the mains
using a device that allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all
poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm, eg. automatic line protecting
cut - out, earth leakage trips or fuse.
WARNING
The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and the
terminal screws tightened securely.
WARNING
Once the hob is connected to the mains supply, check that all cooking zones are
ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting with
suitable cookware.

Safety instructions for the installer
•
A device must be provided in the electrical installation that 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.
•
With respect to fire protection, this appliance corresponds to EN 60335 - 2 -
6. This type of appliance may be installed with a high cupboard or wall on one
side.
•
The installation must guarantee shock protection.
•
The kitchen unit in which the appliance is fitted must satisfy the stability
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 adhesive.
•
Ensure that the seal is correctly seated against the work surface without any
gaps. Additional silicon sealant must not be applied; this would make removal
more difficult when servicing.
•
The hob must be pressed out from below when removed.
•
A board can be installed underneath the hob.
•
The ventilation gap between the worktop and front of the unit underneath it
must not be covered.
