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

x Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.
x Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally

suffocating.

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

carefully removed before using the hob.

x 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

cabinet should take account of these characteristics.

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.

x The hob is supplied with securing clips.
x These fit into dedicated slots around the hob base . (see picture A)
x Insert the clips (as shown in picture B)
x Lift the clips up until they click into place. (as shown in picture C)

x 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.

x Invert the hob on the worktop adjacent to the aperture before making the electrical

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

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

base and the worktop. ( see Sketch below)
