Safe installation

Follow these safety instructions when installing the appliance.

• Electrical connection must only be carried out by licensed specialist staff. Incorrect connection will invalidate the warranty.
• The safe operation of this appliance can only be guaranteed if it has been installed to a professional standard in accordance with these installation instructions. The installer shall be liable for any damage resulting from incorrect installation.

Built-under
Do not install refrigerators, dishwashers, non-ventilated ovens or washing machines underneath the appliance.

• If you fit a modular or compact dishwasher of the same brand underneath the appliance, the worktop must be at least 40 mm thick.
• If you fit an oven below the appliance, the worktop must be at least 20 mm thick, in certain cases even thicker. Observe the information in the oven installation instructions.
• Make sure that projecting parts such as the mains housing or the mains cable do not collide, e.g. with a drawer.

Intermediate floor
If the underside of the hob can be touched, an intermediate floor must be fitted.

• Ask your specialist retailer for an intermediate floor as an accessory.
• If you use your own intermediate floor, the minimum distance to the mains connection of the appliance must be 10 mm.

Preparing the units

The worktop must be level, horizontal and stable.

• The fitted units, including wall finishing strips, must be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C.
• Niche cladding within 50 mm of the back wall must not be combustible (e.g. tiles, stone).
• Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant. This prevents the worktop from swelling as a result of moisture. → Fig. 1

Electrical connection

To protect the appliance, do not remove it from the polystyrene trays until you press the appliance into the cut-out. Never lay the appliance down flat on its side.

• Check the household wiring before connecting the appliance.
• The appliance fulfils the requirements of protection class I and must only be operated in conjunction with an earth conductor.
• In the permanent electrical installation, a partition must be provided in the phases in accordance with the installation regulations.
• If U400 appears on the appliance’s display, it has not been connected correctly. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and check the connection.

Connecting with a 3-wire cable
Ensure that there is sufficient fuse protection for the household wiring. Observe the colour coding of the power cable.

• The protective conductor is green/yellow ⁠.
• The neutral conductor is blue.
• The phase (external conductor) is brown.
• If required, the cable must be replaced with a multi-phase power cable. When replacing the cable, observe the following paragraph.

Connecting without a pre-installed cable
Only connect the hob in accordance with the connection diagram.

• If required, install the enclosed copper bridges.
• The power cable must correspond to type H05 VV-F or a higher rating.
• Use the current load to determine which wire cross-section you require. A cross-section of < 1.5 mm² is not permitted.

Connecting with a pre-installed 5-wire power cable
The power cable must only be replaced by trained customer service personnel.

Installing the hob

Do not trap the power cable and do not route it over sharp edges.

• If the oven is a built-under type, route the cable along the rear corners of the oven to the mains socket. → Fig. 2

Removing the hob

1. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
