Important user information
The glass ceramic hob is intended to be fitted
in a kitchen worktop or the like. If you have
the requisite skills, you can fit the hob your-
self. However, the electrical connection must
be carried out by authorised specialist staff.
Requirements
To ensure proper operation, the following re-
quirements must be met:
– The hob complies with heat protection
class 'Y' (EC 335-2-6), which means that
with higher kitchen furnishings or walls it
may be installed on only one side. The
built-in furniture must have coverings and
the adhesives used must be heat-resistant
(100 °C). If this is not the case, this can
lead to deformation or detachment of the
covering surface.
– The distance between the hob and the ex-
tractor hood must be at least 760 mm.
– Do not install the hob directly next to a re-
frigerator or freezer. This will increase its
energy consumption unnecessarily due to
heat emission.
– You must leave at least 100 mm of free
space below the recess for ventilation pur-
poses. No heat-sensitive items (cabinets,
drawers etc.) should be found in this area.
Any side walls or drawers which are pres-
ent must be sawn out or dismantled ac-
cordingly.
Preparing food
To ensure proper operation, the following re-
quirements must be met:
– The worktop must be at least 30 mm thick
and at least 590 mm deep, must be hori-
zontal and level and must be sealed on the
wall side against overflowing liquids.
– The hob must be surrounded by at least
50 mm of worktop on all sides.

– If the hob is separated from the rest of the
built-in unit by a horizontal fixing plate,
the space between the base of the appli-
ance and the fixing plate must be at least
100 mm high.
– If the hob is separated from the rest of the
built-in unit by a vertical fixing plate, the
space between the wall and the fixing plate
must be at least 30 mm.
– At the back of the fixing plate, a square
opening with a side diameter of at least
80 mm must be cut out.
– If the hob is installed over an oven with
ventilation, the clearance between the
base of the appliance and the cover of the
oven must be at least 100 mm.
– At the front of the hob there must be an air
outlet at least 10 mm in size between the
hob and the oven or floor unit.
– Veneers, plastic coverings and adhesives
used must be heat-resistant up to 100 °C.
