READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET CAREFULLY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOB.
We recommend you keep the instructions for installation and use for later reference, and before installing the hob, note its serial number
in case you need to get help from the after sales service.
• It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they are in operation or when they are switched off,
so long as the residual heat indicator is on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns.
• When cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly.
• Aluminium foil and plastic pans must not be placed on heating zones.
• After every use, some cleaning of the hob is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt and grease. If left, this is recooked when the
hob is used and burns giving off smoke and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation.

2. INSTALLATION

Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer
safety. It is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in
accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out
by an unqualified person, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not
it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.

3. BUILT-IN

The furniture in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent
furniture, should be made from materials that can withstand high
temperatures. In addition, all decorative laminates should be fixed
with heat-resistant glue.
Installation (Fig. B / D):
•A watertight seal is supplied with the hob.
Before fitting:
- turn the hob upside down, with the glass surface facing downwards.
Make sure the glass is protected.
- fit the seal round the hob.
- make sure that it is correctly fitted to avoid any leakage into the
supporting cabinet.
• Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and the
vertical sides of the adjacent furniture.
• If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an
area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a partition
1 cm below the base of the hob to avoid any risk of scorching
or damage.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

"The installation must conform to the standard directives."
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage that
may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use.
Warning:
we cannot be held responsible for any incident or its
consequences that may arise during the use of an appliance
not linked to the earth, or linked to an earth whose continuity
is defective.
• Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension
shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuit-
breaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to the installation
and that the fuse is suitable.
• The electrical connection to the installation should be made via
a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch.
If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that
the socket outlet is accessible.
• The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be
connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance
terminals.
