ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few
minutes before you finish cooking.
The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container
that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as
little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase
energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.

This appliance meets Ecodesign requirements of European Regulation 66/2014
and The Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information
(Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 in compliance with the European

INSTALLATION
-
The cooktop must be set into a worktop at least 20 mm deep.
-
There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).
-
Make sure the power cord is long enough to allow convenient installation.
-
The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel must be at least 20 mm.
-
For built-in dimensions and installation see the picture in this paragraph.
-
A minimum distance must be maintained between the hob and the hood above it. Please refer to the user manual of the hood for more informations.
-
Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.
-
Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not comcome into contact with steam or moisture, which could damage them.
-
If an oven is installed beneath the cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system. If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop will switch o automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.
-
ATTENTION: to install the hob on other surfaces than wood (marble, plastic, ceramic, marble, stone, etc.) remember to ask After Sales Service for the fixing plates (fig. 2) Code 4819 404 78697.
PLACING THE HOB
Important: remove any protective film before installing the hob.
Make sure that the opening in the worktop for the hob is cut according to the
dimensions given in the drawing, paying attention to the tolerance range. The
hob should not be forced into the worktop. Forcing the glass-ceramic top may
cause it to crack (even at a later date)!
If the worktop is made of wood, use the spring clips and screws provided.
Secure the spring clips ( A ) (fig. 1) with the screws provided ( B )
(fig. 1) as shown, paying attention to the specified distances. Fit the hob
into the worktop.
If the worktop is made of marble, plastic, ceramic, stone, etc . , the hob
must be secured with special brackets ( C ) (fig. 2). Fit the hob into the
worktop (fig. 1). Place the 4 brackets ( C ) in position in accordance
with the thickness of the worktop as shown in fig. 2. Fasten the 4 screws (
D ) in the positions ( E ) (fig. 2).
REMOVING THE HOB:
To remove the hob, first, disconnect it from the electric supply. It is
strongly recommended to free the underneath part from the oven, drawer,
separator, or other. It allows the technician to access the lower part of the
hob to unfasten the four clips with a screwdriver, lift the hob and remove it,
avoiding any worktop damage.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Electrical connection must be made before connecting the appliance to the
electricity supply. The power cord is not included in the package – remember
to prepare your own power cord.
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel who know the current
safety and installation regulations. Specifically, installation must be
carried out in compliance with the regulations of the local electricity supply
company.
Make sure the voltage specified on the data plate located on the bottom of the
appliance is the same as that of the home. Regulations require that the
appliance be earthed: use conductors (including the earth conductor) of the
appropriate size only.
CONNECTION TO THE TERMINAL BLOCK
For the electrical connection, use an H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F cable as specified
in the table below.

The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply by means of an all-
pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm.
ATTENTION: the power supply cable must be long enough to allow the
cooktop to be removed from the worktop and must be positioned so as to avoid
damage or overheating caused by contact with the base.
NOTE: the yellow/green earth wire must be connected to the terminal with
the symbol **** and must be longer than the other wires.
- Remove approx. 70 mm of the cable sheath from the power supply cable (G).
- Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the wires. Insert the cable (G) through the opening in the lid (F).
- Insert the cable into the cable clamp and connect the wires to the terminal block as indicated in the diagram printed on the lid.
- Secure the power supply cable (G) by means of the cable clamp.
- Refit the protection lid (F).
