Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality hob.
We, the manufacturer, trust that you will enjoy many years of trouble free use.
Please read these instructions carefully before using the hob.
This book will provide you with information on how to operate and care for your hob in order
that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

Unpacking

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.

• Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally

suffocating.

• Some models feature a protective film over stainless steel trim. This film must be

carefully removed before using the hob.

• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer,

who will take the necessary corrective action.

Cupboard design

• Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the mounting

cabinet should take account of these characteristics.

• Surfaces and surrounding edges immediately adjacent to the hob should be able to

withstand temperatures of up to 100°C without delaminating or discolouring.

Installation

Installation is the buyer’s responsibility. The manufacturer accepts no liability for this service.
Any action that the manufacturer has to take as a result of an erroneous installation will not be
covered by the warranty.

• The hob is supplied with securing clips.

A B C

• These fit into dedicated slots around the hob base . (see picture A)

• Insert the clips. (as shown in picture B)

• Lift the clips up until they click into place. (as shown in picture C)

• To avoid liquid spills penetrating between the hob and the worktop, apply the supplied self-

adhesive seal to the perimeter of the aperture. Do not use a silicone sealer.

• Invert the hob on the worktop adjacent to the aperture before making the electrical

connection. This will ensure sufficient cable length for subsequent servicing.

• Position the hob into the aperture so that the securing clips are compressed between the hob

base and the worktop. (see Sketch below)

VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Safety installation for hob with control panel

• A removable horizontal board must be fitted below the hob and 75mm away from the worktop

bottom face.

• Space between this board and the hob must be empty and no objects may be stored or kept there.

• This board will effectively shield the user from the base of the hob which gets hot during use.

The board needs to be removable for service purposes as the hob, once installed, can only be
loosened from below.

• If the hob is installed with a side adjacent to a vertical kitchen cabinet, the distance between the

edge of the hob and that of the cabinet side must be a least 150mm. The distance between the back
wall and the rear edge of the hob must be at least 55mm.

Electrical installation

This appliance must be earthed and the manufacturer and the seller do not accept
responsibility for any damage due to incorrect installation or electrical connection.

Earth leakage

This hob should not be connected through an earth leakage system. Refer to S.A.N.S. 10142

Connection to the power supply must be carried out by a licensed electrician, who will ensure
that the hob is correctly connected and safely earthed. The rated current is printed on the serial number
label attached to the base cover. The hob must be connected to the mains through a double pole
isolating switch which has a minimum clearance between the contacts of 3 mm. in both poles. A
means for disconnection must be provided in the fixed wiring.

Note:

The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.

Please see the section pertaining to electrical connection as described in the hob manual.
