Safety instructions
Installation
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.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to prevent
moisture to cause swelling.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance from steam and
moisture.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a door or
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.
• The bottom of the appliance can get hot. Make sure
to install a non-combustile separation panel under
the appliance to prevent access to the bottom.
Electrical Connection
Warning! Risk of fire and electrical
shock.
• All electrical connections should be made by a
qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before connecting the hob to an oven and before
every wiring make sure the main terminals of both
appliances are not live.
• Make sure that the electrical information on the
rating plate agrees with the power supply. If not,
contact an electrician.
• Make sure the appliance is installed correctly. Loose
and incorrect electricity mains cable or plug (if
applicable) can make the terminal become too hot.
• Use the correct electricity mains cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable tangle.
• Make sure that a shock protection is installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on the cable.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if applicable)
does not touch the hot appliance or hot cookware,
when you connect the appliance to the near sockets

cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the mains plug
(if applicable) or to the mains cable. Contact our
Authorised Service Centre or an electrician to
change a damaged mains cable.
• The shock protection of live and insulated parts
must be fastened in such a way that it cannot be
removed without tools.

the end of the installation. Make sure that there is
access to the mains plug after the installation.
• If the mains socket is loose, do not connect the
mains plug.
• Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the
appliance. Always pull the mains plug.
