INSTALLATION
Recommendations
Important: Disconnect the hob from the mains before
carrying out any installation work or servicing.
•
All electrical connections must be made before
connecting the appliance to the power supply.
•
Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
in compliance with local regulations.
•
Unpack the hob and make sure that the appliance has
not been damaged during transport. If you are not
sure contact the dealer or the nearest service
centre.
Preparing the housing unit
•
Cut the worktop to fit before installing the appliance.
Carefully remove any shavings or sawdust that could
prevent the appliance from running properly.
•
The hob must be fitted in a worktop with a minimum
thickness of 30 mm and a maximum of 50 mm.
•
Insert a separator at least 20 mm from the lower edge
of the hob, so that it cannot be accessed by the user.
•
If there is an oven under the hob, make sure that it is
manufactured by Whirlpool and equipped with a cooling
system.
•
There must be nothing between the hob and the oven
(e.g. cables, insulating material, etc.).
•
An adjacent column unit must be installed at least
100 mm from the edge of the hob.
•
Cut an opening in the worktop of the given dimensions.
•
We recommend you seal the internal edges of the
worktop with wood glue or silicone.
•
If not already in place, apply the supplied seal to the
hob, after cleaning the adhesive surface thoroughly.
Glass ceramic hob
Important: remove any protective film before installing
the hob.
Make sure that the opening in the worktop for the hob is cut
according to the dimensions given in the drawing, paying
attention to the tolerance range.
The hob should not be forced into the worktop. Forcing the
glass ceramic top may cause it to crack (even at a later date)!
•
If the worktop is made of wood, use the spring clips
and screws provided.
1.
Secure the spring clips (A) (fig. 1) with the screws
supplied, paying attention to the specified distances.
2.
Fit the hob into the worktop.
ASSEMBLY:
After having cleaned the perimeter surface, apply the
supplied gasket to the hob as shown in the figure.
Electrical connection

Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.
•
Connection to the mains must be carried out by a
qualified technician in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with local
regulations.
•
The installer is responsible for connecting appliances
correctly to the mains and for observing the safety
regulations.
•
The power supply cable must be long enough to
connect the built-in appliance to the mains.
•
Observance of safety directives requires that a multi-
pole switch with a minimum contact gap of 3 mm be
used for the installation.
•
Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.
•
After the appliance has been installed, the electrical
components must be inaccessible.
Connecting the hob to the power supply
Note: the yellow/green earth wire must be connected to the
screw marked
.
If the supply cable is not already connected:
•
Strip away approximately 70 mm. of the outer sheath of
the cable.
•
Then strip away approximately 10 mm. of the inner
sheath.
