Important warnings

• The appliance may be built-in and connected to
the power supply only by a qualified technician.

• Particular areas of the cooktop surface
(adjacent to the hotplates) are hot during
operation. Make sure children are kept out of
reach and warn them accordingly.

• Hot oil ignites readily, so be sure preparation of
such food (fries) is under constant control.

• Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone.

• Do not use the appliance for room heating.

• Never use the ceramic-glass cooktop as a

working surface. Sharp objects may damage
the cooktop surface.

• Do not place saucepan lids on the cooktop
surface. Extreme pressure can build up while
cooling and cause the ceramic top to crack!

• Never keep any flammable or temperature
sensitive objects, like cleaning agents, sprays,
detergents, etc., below the appliance.

• Preparation of food in aluminium or plastic
cookware is not allowed. Never place any
plastic objects or aluminium foil upon the
cooktop surface.

• In case any other appliances are plugged in the
electric mains close to the cooktop, prevent the
contact of the plug cable with the hot cooking
zones.

• Never use a cracked or broken ceramic-glass
cooktop. If you notice any visible cracks on the
surface, cut the power supply immediately.

• In case of any malfunctions, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply and call your
nearest authorised Kleenmaid Service Agent on
1300 652 100.

Warning! The appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm persons without

supervision.

Connection to the power supply

• Electrical connection must be carried out by a
qualified technician only. The earthing protection
must comply with the standing regulations.

• Connection terminals are revealed when the
connection box cover is removed.

• Prior to connection check that the voltage
indicated on the rating plate is in line with your
home power supply.

• The rating plate is located underneath the
appliance.

• The appliance is manufactured for use with the
power supply voltage AC 240 V.

• The electrical wiring should be equipped with a
circuit breaker able to isolate the appliance from
the mains in all points, with the distance between
terminals of at least 3 mm in open position. This
may be done by means of fuses, safety switches,
etc.

• Electrical connection should be in accordance with
the declared charge capacity of the mains and the
fuse power.

• The appliance can be mounted on one side next
to a high kitchen cabinet, the height of which may
exceed that of the appliance. On the opposite side
however, only a kitchen cabinet of equal height as
the appliance is allowed.

• Upon the completion of installation, live wires and
isolated cables must be adequately protected
against accidental touching.

• Distance between the cooktop surface and the
cooking hood must be such as indicated in the
instructions for use of the hood.

• Kitchen cabinets may not be mounted underneath
the built-in ceramic-glass cooktop.

Basic adjustment of sensors to the
ambience

Upon each connection to the power supply the
sensors of the appliance are automatically
adjusted to the environment to ensure their
proper function. All displays indicate the sign "-".
Once the successful adjustment is completed it is
signalled with a beep. All displays are switched
off and your cooktop is ready for use.
During the adjustment procedure the sensors
must be free of any objects, otherwise the
adjustment procedure will be interrupted until
such objects are removed from the sensor
surface. During this period the regulation of the
cooktop is impossible.

ATTENTION !

Before attempting any repairs on the appliance,
disconnect the power supply. In accordance with
the mains voltage the appliance should be
connected in line with the attached diagram. The
earthing wire (PE) must be connected to the
terminal marked with the earthing symbol
The connection cable must lead through the relief
safety device, protecting it from accidental pulling
out.
Upon the completion of installation switch all the
hotplates on for about 3 minutes to check the
proper functioning.

Mounting the built-in cooktop

Caution !

• To avoid any possible hazard, the appliance
must be installed by qualified personnel only.

• The kitchen cabinet into which the cooking hob
is to be installed must be treated with
temperature resistant adhesives (100°C), or
else they may discolour or distort because of
incorrect temperature resistance.

• The cooking hob is intended for building into a
worktop of 60cm width or more above the
kitchen cabinetry.

• After installation of the built-in hob ensure that
there is free access to the two fixing elements
in front.

• The distance between the worktop and the
hood must be at least as indicated in the

instructions for installation of the kitchen hood,
but in no case should it be less than 650 mm.

• The smallest distance between the edge of the
appliance and the adjacent high kitchen cabinet
is 40 mm.

• The use of hard wood decorative borders
around the worktop behind the appliance is
allowed. The minimum distance remains as
indicated on the installation illustrations.

• Minimum distance between the built-in cooktop
and rear wall is indicated in the illustration for
the installation of the built-in cooktop.

• The appliance may be installed in any worktop
with a thickness from 30 mm to 50 mm.

Dimensions of the built-in hob opening Installation procedure

Ceramic-glass cooktop

The ceramic-glass cooktop is equipped with four
hotplates designed as cooking zones. The
surface of the hob is flat, without any edges for
eventual gathering of dirt.

• Hotplates quickly reach the selected heating
power while the adjacent area around the
hotplates remains cool.

• The cooktop is resistant to temperature
changes.

• Avoid using the hob as a working surface.
Sharp objects may produce scratches.

• Never attempt to prepare food in aluminium or
plastic cookware. Never place any plastic
objects or aluminium foil upon the hot cooking
hob.

• Avoid making coffee in traditional Turkish
coffee kettle. The diameter of the base is too
small and the hotplate may be damaged.

• Do not place saucepan lids on the cooktop
surface. Extreme pressure can build up while
cooling and cause the ceramic top to crack!

• The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it
is not unbreakable. Breakage from excessive
force or impact may void warranty.

CAUTION !

• Never use the cooking hob if the ceramic-glass
is cracked or broken. Sharp edged objects,
falling upon the surface of the hob may cause
cracking. The consequences may be visible
immediately or only after a while. In case any
visible cracks are observed cut the power
supply immediately.

• If you spill sugar or other heavily sweetened
substances on the hotplate, wipe it immediately
and remove the sugar residues with a scraper
even though the cooking zone is still hot.

• In all other instances avoid cleaning the
cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as
you may damage the hob.
