Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

To avoid the risk of damage to the

appliance, make sure that the rat ing on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the house hold supply, before connecting the ap pliance to the mains supply. Consult a competent person if in doubt.

The electrical safety of this appli

ance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between the ap pliance and an effective earthing sys tem, which complies with local and na tional safety regulations. It is most im portant that this basic safety requirement is tested by a qualified electrician. and where there is any doubt the electrical system in the house is checked by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

For safety reasons this appliance

must only be operated as a built-in appliance. This is necessary to ensure that all electrical components are shielded.

Installation work and repairs may

only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons to en sure safety. Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous and the

manufacturer will not be held responsi ble.

The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply

when:

the mains fuse is withdrawn

–

or the screw-out fuse is removed (in

–

countries where this is applicable)

– it is switched off at the isolator or at

the wall socket and the plug removed. Do not pull on the cable, only on the plug.

Do not connect the appliance to

the mains electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).

ance. Tampering with electrical connections or components is highly dangerous to the user and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

This appliance must not be in

stalled over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, refrigerator, freezer or fridge-freezer. The high tem peratures radiated by hobs could dam age the appliance below.

If the hob is built in above an oven,

the connection cable for the hob must not come into contact with the oven housing.

Due to the high temperatures radi

ated it is not advisable to fit a drawer directly underneath the hob. The hob may only be fitted above kitchen units with fixed front panels. An additional interim shelf should be fitted underneath the hob.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

arouse a child’s interest in storage areas above or next to the appliance. Otherwise they could be tempted into climbing onto the appliance with the risk of burning themselves.

Use heat-resistant pot holders or

gloves when handling hot pots and pans. Do not let them get damp or wet, as this causes heat to transfer through the material more quickly with the risk of burning yourself.
