Installation

WARNING

WARNING

Only a qualified person must install this appliance.

•   Remove all the packaging. 

•    Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

•    Obey the installation instruction supplied with  

the appliance.

•    Keep the minimum distance from the other 

appliances and units.

•    Always be careful when you move the appliance 

because it is heavy. Always wear safety gloves.

moisture to cause swelling.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

under a window. This prevents hot cookware to fall 
from the appliance when the door or the window is 
opened.

•    If the appliance is installed above drawers make sure 

that the space, between the bottom of the appliance 
and the upper drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.

•    Make sure that the ventilation space of 5 mm, 

between the worktop and the front of the below unit, 
is free. The warranty does not cover damages caused 
by the lack of an adequate ventilation space.

•    The bottom of the appliance can get hot. We 

recommend to install a non-combustible separation 
panel under the appliance to prevent access to  
the bottom.

Electrical connection

WARNING

WARNING

Risk of fire and electrical shock.

• 

 All electrical connections must be made by a 
qualified electrician. Before wiring make sure the 
mains terminal is not live.

•    Make sure the appliance is installed correctly. Loose 

and incorrect plug and socket connections can make 
the terminal become too hot.

•    The appliance must be installed correctly to ensure 

anti-shock protection.

•    Cables from other electrical appliances must not 

touch the hot surface of the appliance.

• 

 Other than the connection point in the terminal 
block, do not let the electrical supply cord touch the 
appliance or hot cookware. Ensure electrical supply 
cord is not tangled. 

•   Use a strain relief clamp on cable. 

•   Use the correct mains cable. 

•    Make sure there is no damage to the mains plug 

and to the mains cable. Contact the Service or an 
electrician to change a damaged mains cable.

•    The electrical installation must have an isolation 

device which lets you disconnect the appliance from 
the mains at all poles. The isolation device must have 
a contact opening width of minimum 3mm.

•    Use only correct isolation devices: line protecting 

cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses removed from the 
holder), earth leakage trips and contactors.
