or slightly bigger than the heated area, is recommended.
(Fig.5).
Do not use pots that have a rough base, in order to pre-

ELECTROMAGNETIC HAZARD
This appliance complies with safety and electromagne-
tic compatibility standards. Nevertheless, persons with
cardiac pacemakers or other electrical implants (such as
insulin pumps) must consult with their doctor or implant
manufacturer before using this appliance, in order to
make sure that their implants will not be affected by the
It is not possible to guarantee that 100% of these devi-
ces are compliant with the electromagnetic compatibility
standard in force and that they do not generate any in-
terference, thus possibly preventing them from working
properly.
In addition, also persons with other types of devices , like
hearing aids, are likely to have some discomforts.
FAILURE HAZARD
This hob is equipped with a fan placed in its lower part.
Do not store small objects or pieces of paper in the
drawer found under the hob, since they could break the
fan and affect cooling in case they are sucked.
There must be a minimum distance of 2cm between the
drawer contents and the fan inlet (Fig. 2c)
INSTALLA
TION INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions are intended for a special-
ized installer and are meant as guidelines for the hob
installation, adjustment and maintenance, in compliance
with any regulations and standards in force. If a built-
in oven or any other appliance generating heat is to
be mounted directly under the vitro-ceramic hob,

. Failure to comply with this precaution might
result in the incorrect operation of the TOUCH CON-
TROL system.
• Positioning:
This household appliance has been designed for built –in
installation onto a worktop, as shown in the figure (Fig.2a).
Use sealing material along the whole perimeter - Fig.4
(Cut dimensions- Fig.2a). This operation is necessary in
order to prevent any liquid from entering inside the hob,
being that the flatness of the top, the glass and their
coupling cannot be assured. Fix the appliance on the
worktop by using the 4 supports, taking the work top thi-
ckness into account (Fig.2b). If, after installation, the lower
part of the appliance is accessible from the lower part of
the cabinet, it will be necessary to mount a spacing panel
at the distances given (Fig.3). If the appliance is instal-
led under an oven, this step will not be necessary. The
appliance is not intended to be operated by an external
timer or a separate remote control system.
•
connections
(Fig.7):
Before carrying out any electric connections, please
make sure that:
- the ground electric cable is in Green-Yellow colour.
- the electrical system meets any requirement mentio-
ned in the rating label found on the underside of the
work top;
- the electrical system is equipped with an efficient
grounding system and compliant with any standards
and law directives in force.
The grounding system is required by law.
In the case the appliance is not equipped with a power
cord and/or the related plug, please use a material su-
itable for the power absorption value mentioned in the
rating label and for the operating temperature. If a direct
connection to the electric network is required, you need
to use an omnipolar power switch with a switch-contact
gap of at least 3 mm, suitable for the value mentioned
in the label, and compliant with the related standards in
force (the yellow/green ground connection shall not be
interrupted by the change-over switch).
Once the appliance installation is completed, the omni-
polar switch shall be easily accessible.
