Safety instructions
The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the
country of use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper
recycling in accordance with he regulations, etc.)
Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to
be observed. Anti-shock protection must be provided by the
installation, for example drawers may only be installed with
a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut
surfaces of the workshop are to be protected against moisture
using a suitable sealant. The sealant seals the appliance to
the worktop with no gap. Avoid installing the appliance next
to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may
be knocked off the rings when doors are opened.
WARNING
warning
Risk of injury from electrical current.
• The electrical mains terminal is live.
• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
• Observe connection schematic.
• Observe electrical safety rules.
• Ensure anti-shock protection through correct installation by
a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply
by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
warning
Risk of injury from electrical current.
Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make
the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping joints correctly installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Use strain relief clamp on cable.
• CAUTION: The surface temperature exceeds 95
° C.
To avoid a hazard, underbench access must be restricted.
• Supply cords must have a temperature rating not less than
105 ° C.
Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the
appliance, that is the voltage stated on the rating plate,
corresponds to the available supply voltage.
The rating plate is located on the lower casting of the hob.
The heating element voltage is AC230V~. The appliance
also works perfectly on networks with AC220V~ or
AC240V~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that
allows the applaince to be disconnected from the mains at
all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3mm, e.g.
automatic line protecting cut-out, earth leakage trips or fuse.
A cable with minumum temperature rating of V90HT or one
with a higher grade must be used as the mains connecting
cable. The connection must be carried out as shown in the
diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to
the appropriate connection diagram. The earth lead must be
longer than leads carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be made in accordance with
regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.
Finally, the connecting cable is to be secured with the mains
cable cleat and the covering closed by pressing firmly
(lock into place). Before switching on for the first time, any
protective foil or stickers must be removed from the glass
ceramic surface.
WARNING
caution
Once 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.
Sticking on the seal
• Clean the worktop around the cutout area.
• Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape provided
on the underside 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 2–3mm), press the two ends
together.
