INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance.
We 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 appliance 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.

• 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.

• Allow an unrestricted air space of at least 75mm underneath the underside of the

hob for ventilation and cooling purposes.

INSTALLATION

• The hob should be installed in a ventilated cupboard fitted with a sturdy worktop

and must be secured using the fixing brackets provided. See sketch for details on
aperture size and fixing method.(Cooking Hob– Installation , use and maintenance
booklet).

• Remove the sealing gasket from the packaging and secure the gasket to the

underside of the hob frame.

VENTILATION

Room ventilation is vital for the efficient performance of the appliance and for
the safety of the occupants in the room in which the appliance is installed.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

“This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer and the seller do not

accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect installation or electrical

connection.”

• The hob is fitted with a 15 Amp 3 pin plug. (The Gas hob requires an electrical

connection for the flame ignition system)

• Insert the plug into an earthed 15 Amp wall socket.
