INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

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

Fitting – installing:

• The cut-out sizes are:

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm 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 joinery in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of joinery, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100 °C.
• Do not install the hob above a none ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• There MUST be a minimum space of 20 mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device. There must also be a means for fresh air to enter the cavity.
• If a drawer is placed under the hob, avoid placing flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects in the draw.
• 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 joinery. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the range hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance minimum of 760 mm.
• The power cord once installed should be free of any obstructions and constraints such as draws and fixings.
• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
• Under all circumstances, makes sure the hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the hob is in good working state, as shown below.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• It is mandatory to use a power point with a ground terminal, connected in accordance with current safety regulations.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an Award authorised service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical system should be entrusted only to a qualified electrician.
• Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after instalation
• Connection data is placed on the hob sticker near the connection box.
• The 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 3 mm.
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
