Installation

WARNING

• Remove all the packaging.

• Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

• Obey the installation instruction supplied with the appliance.

• Keep the minimum distance from the other appliances and units.

• Always be careful when you move the appliance because it is heavy. Always wear safety gloves.

• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to prevent moisture to cause swelling.

• Protect the bottom of the appliance from steam and moisture.

• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a door or under a window. This prevents hot cookware to fall from the appliance when the door or the window
  is opened.

• If the appliance is installed above drawers make sure that the space, between the bottom of the appliance and the upper drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.

• Make sure that the ventilation space of 5 mm, between the worktop and the front of the below unit, is free. The warranty does not cover damages caused
  by the lack of adequate ventilation space.

• The bottom of the appliance can get hot. We recommend installing a non-combustible separation panel under the appliance to prevent access to the bottom.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical connection

• Other than the connection point in the terminal block, do not let the electrical supply cord touch the appliance or hot cookware. Ensure the electrical supply cord is not tangled.
• Use a strain relief clamp on the cable.
• Use the correct main cable.
• Make sure there is no damage to the mains plug and to the mains cable. Contact the Service Centre or an electrician to change a damaged mains cable.
• The electrical installation must have an isolation device that lets you disconnect the appliance from the mains at all poles. The isolation device must have a contact opening width of a minimum of 3mm.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses removed from the holder), earth leakage trips, and contractors.

IMPORTANT
It is recommended to center the bench cutout with equal distance front and back as shown but the product has also been certified to be installed with no clearance between the rear edge of the cooktop glass and rear wall if required. In doing so, installers still need to leave sufficient clearance to take into account that the glass dimensions are larger than the cutout.
