Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed. Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut surfaces of the workshop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant. The sealant seals the appliance to the worktop with no gap. Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors are opened.

WARNING
Risk of injury from electrical current.

The electrical mains terminal is live.
Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
Observe connection schematic.
Observe electrical safety rules.
Ensure anti-shock protection through correct installation by a qualified electrician.
The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.

**** WARNING

Risk of injury from electrical current.
Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.

Have the clamping joints correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
Use strain relief clamp on cable.
CAUTION: The surface temperature exceeds 95°C. To avoid a hazard, underbench access must be restricted.
Supply cords must have a temperature rating not less than 105°C.

electrical connection

Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the appliance, that is the voltage stated on the rating plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage.
The rating plate is located on the lower casting of the hob.
The heating element voltage is AC230V~. The appliance also works perfectly on networks with AC220V~ or AC240V~.
The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3mm, e.g. automatic line protecting cut-out, earth leakage trips or fuse. A cable with minimum temperature rating of V90HT or one with a higher grade must be used as the mains connecting cable. The connection must be carried out as shown in the diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to the appropriate connection diagram. The earth lead must be longer than leads carrying electric current.
The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.
Finally, the connecting cable is to be secured with the mains cable cleat and the covering closed by pressing firmly (lock into place). Before switching on for the first time, any protective foil or stickers must be removed from the glass ceramic surface.

CAUTION
Once connected to the mains supply check that all cooking zones are ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting.
Sticking on the seal

Clean the worktop around the cutout area.
Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape provided on the underside of the hob around the outside edge ensuring that it is not stretched. The two ends of the tape should join in the middle of one side. After trimming the tape (allow it to overlap by 23mm), press the two ends together.

IMPORTANT
The cut-out section in the worktop is illustrated in the drawing with the dimensions 560 x 490 / 880 x 490mm. The appliance can also be built into a shorter cut-out section with the dimensions 560 x 485 / 880 x 485 mm.
