INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance.
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 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.

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

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