Use one of the supplied connection elbows and the corresponding seal to connect the appliance to a fixed power cable or a gas safety hose. The gas safety hose should have a length of at least 1 m up to a maximum of 3 m. Observe the information about the gas safety hose: ¡ If the gas safety hose is made of metal, the permissible ambient temperature is 115 °C. If the gas safety hose is not made of metal or is only partially made of metal, the ambient temperature must not exceed 90 °C.

• The gas safety hose must not come into contact with moving parts of the fitted unit (e.g. drawers) or be routed in areas where it could become trapped or damaged.
• The gas safety hose must not come into contact with a hob, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine, hot water pipes, radiator or any other appliance installed next to or below the gas hob.
• The gas safety hose must not be subject to rubbing, vibrations, kinking or any other kind of de-formation. It should be checked along its entire length with the hob in the installation position.

In order to safely connect the appliance electrically, observe this information.

WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. The appliance must only be connected to a protective contact socket that has been correctly installed.
The mains plug of the mains power cable must be easily accessible after installation of the appliance. If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch must be integrated into the permanent electrical installation according to the conditions of over-voltage category III and according to the installation regulations. The permanent electrical installation must only be wired by a professional electrician. We recommend installing a residual- current circuit breaker (RCCB) in the appliance’s power supply circuit. Sharp- edged or hot components inside the appliance may damage the connection cable.

•  Do not kink or trap the connection cable.

Information on fitted units
Observe the cut-out dimensions and the installation instructions when installing in a worktop. The fitted units must be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C. Ensure that the stability of the fitted unit is guaran-teed after the cut-outs have been made. The cut-out edges at the sides must be at least 20 mm thick and flat to ensure that the retaining springs sit correctly on the appliance. For multi-layer worktops, affix appropriate strips to the side in the unit cut-out, if required. Use suitable substructures to ensure the load- bear-ing capacity and stability of the unit. Take the appliance weight, including additional load, into consideration. Ensure that the reinforcing material is heat-and moisture-resistant.
To improve flame stability, install an intermediate floor underneath the appliance in the installation cabinet.
