INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforced in their country.

How to stick the gasket
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting – installing:

• The cut-out sizes and flush mounting:

Glass| Cut size| Rear| Side| Radius| Cut size| Deep
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
A1| B1| C| D| E| F| H| A2| B2| G
520| 780| 490| 750| 50| 40| 8| 526| 786| 5

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100°C.
• The wall or splashback behind the hob must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• There must be a space of 20mm beneath the bottom of the hob casing to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device. (See page 20 for full ventilation information)
• If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid placing flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects inside.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops, expand on contact with water. To protect the cut-out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions, use a minimum distance of 650mm.
• After installation, make sure the connection cord is not being constrained e.g. by the drawer.
• WARNING: Only use hob guards designed by the manufacturer, indicated as suitable in the manufacturer’s instructions for the appliance, or those that have been incorporated into the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.

Ventilation requirements
To ensure adequate ventilation of your induction hob, please ensure the installation requirements shown in this diagram are followed.
A 5mm gap at the front of the unit must be left, and a minimum 10mm gap must be cut out at the back of the cabinet to allow air to circulate.
A minimum distance of 20mm must be left between the underside of the hob and the appliance directly below. If a drawer is intalled below the hob, a minimum distance of 40mm must be left between the underside of the hob, and the contents of the drawer.
Over filling the drawer may effect the airflow. If the drawer is overfilled or the ventilation requirements not followed, this will void the guarantee.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• When installing, make sure no part of the hob is under stress or tension.
• Necessary Connection data is placed on the hob casing near the connection box.
• Connection to the mains must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3mm.
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
• If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
• The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob or oven.

Caution!
This appliance has only to be connected to a network 230 V~ 50/60 Hz. Always connect the Earth Wire. Respect the connection diagram. The connection box is located underneath at the back of the hob casing. To open the cover, use a medium screwdriver.

Mains| Connection| Cable diameter| Cable| Protection calibre
---|---|---|---|---
230V~ 50/60Hz| 1 Phase + N| 3 x 2.5 mm²| H 05 VV – F H 05 RR – F| 25 A
400V~ 50/60Hz| 2 Phases + N| 4 x 1.5 mm²| H 05 VV – F H 05 RR – F| 16 A

Connection of the hob

Setting up the configurations:
For the various kinds of connection, use the brass bridges which are in the box next the terminal.

Monophase 230V~1P+N
Put the bridge between terminals 1 and 2. Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L to one of the terminals 1 or 2.

Biphase 400V~2P+N
Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L1 to the terminal 1 and the Phase L2 to the terminal 2.

Caution! Frequent loosening and screwing of the screws on the connection box risks damaging the efficiency of the tightness once screwed. It is therefore advisable to keep screwing and unscrewing to a minimum. Ensure that the cables are correctly inserted and tightly screwed down. 4 weeks after installation, a check should be made to ensure the electrical cables are still connected tightly and tightened further if necessary.

We cannot be held responsible for any incident resulting from incorrect connection or which could arise from the use of an appliance which has not been earthed or has been equipped with a faulty earth connection
