GB
! Before operating your new appliance please read this
instruction booklet carefully. It contains important
information concerning the safe operation, installation
and maintenance of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to any new owners of the
appliance.
Positioning
! Keep all packaging material out of the reach of
children. It may present a choking or suffocation
hazard (
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified
see Precautions and tips
professional in accordance with the instructions
provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to
people and animals or may damage property.
Built-in appliance
Use a suitable cabinet to ensure that the appliance
functions properly.
• The supporting surface must be heat-resistant up to
a temperature of approximately 100°C.
• If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the
oven must be equipped with a forced ventilation
cooling system.
• Avoid installing the hob above a dishwasher: if this
cannot be avoided, place a waterproof separation
device between the two appliances.
• Depending on the hob you want to install, the
cabinet must have the following dimensions (
):

Ventilation
To allow adequate ventilation and to avoid overheating of
the surrounding surfaces the hob should be positioned as
follows:
• At a minimum distance of 40 mm from the back
panel or any other vertical surfaces.
• So that a minimum distance of 20 mm is maintained
between the installation cavity and the cabinet
underneath.
• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller
than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm
from the edge of the hob.

Fixing
The appliance must be installed on a perfectly level
supporting surface.
Any deformities caused by improper fixing could affect
the features and operation of the hob.
The thickness of the supporting surface
taken into account when choosing
the length of the
should be
screws for the fixing hooks:
• 30 mm thick: 23 mm screws
• 40 mm thick: 13 mm screws
Fix the hob as follows:
1. Use short flat-bottomed screws to fix the 4
alignment springs in the holes provided at the central
point of each side of the hob.
2. Place the hob in the cavity, make sure it is in a
central position and push down on the whole perimeter
until the hob is stuck to the supporting surface.
3. For hobs with raised sides: After inserting the hob
into its cavity, insert the 4 fixing hooks (each has its
own pin) into the lower edges of the hob, using the
long pointed screws to fix them in place, until the
glass is stuck to the supporting surface.
! The screws for the alignment springs must remain
accessible.
! In order to adhere to safety standards, the appliance
must not come into contact with electrical parts once it
has been installed.
! All parts which ensure the safe operation of the
appliance must not be removable without the aid of a
tool.
Electrical connection
! The electrical connection for the hob and for any built-
in oven must be carried out separately, both for safety
purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.
Single-phase connection
The hob is equipped with a pre-connected electricity
supply cable, which is designed for single-phase
connection. Connect the wires in accordance with the
instructions given in the following table and diagrams:

mains frequency
220-240V 1+N ~

Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains
If the appliance is being connected directly to the
electricity mains an omnipolar switch must be installed
with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts.
! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been made and that it is fully
compliant with safety regulations.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply,
make sure that:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the appliance itself.
• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated
on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do
not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced
by authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should
these safety measures not be observed.
! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for
any reason. Its removal or replacement will void the
warranty and the CE marking. INDESIT does not
assume liability for accidents or damage arising from
replacement/removal of the original power supply
cable. Replacement can only be accepted when
carried out by personnel authorised by INDESIT and
using an original spare part.
