• 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. We recommend to install a non-combustile
separation panel under the appliance to prevent access to the bottom.

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