• Follow the installation instructions
supplied with the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from
other appliances and units.
• Always take care when moving the
appliance as it is heavy. Always use
safety gloves and enclosed footwear.
• 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 falling 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 separation
panel made from plywood, kitchen
carcass material or other non-
flammable materials under the
appliance to prevent access to the
bottom.
• The separation panel has to cover the
area under the hob completely.
• Make sure that the ventilation space
of 2 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.
2.2 Electrical Connection
WARNING!
Risk of fire and electric
shock.
• All electrical connections should be
made by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation
make sure that the appliance is
disconnected from the power supply.
• Make sure that the parameters on the
rating plate are compatible with the
electrical ratings of the mains power
supply.
• 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.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension 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.
• Connect the mains plug to the mains
socket only at 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.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type
fuses removed from the holder), earth
leakage trips and contactors.
• 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 3 mm.
2.3 Use

Risk of injury, burns and
electric shock.
