IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Using the appliance
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• This household appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any
other household, commercial or industrial use.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using
the appliance.
• Switch off the heating zones after using.
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil-over causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve
efficiency.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may not be
cool even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
• Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance makes contact with the glass or hot
cookware.
• Storage on the appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored near the surface units.
• Do not place any metallic object except heating containers on the glass surface. In case of
untimely engaging or residual heat, these may heat, melt or even burn.
• Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protective sheet. It may become hot and ignite.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
• Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, cont’d
Precautions in case of appliance failure
• If a failure is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical power supply.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• User servicing: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Other precautions
• Keep a close eye on cooking using grease or oils: they may quickly ignite.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S
USE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions Before Installation
• The installation and electrical connection must be performed by a qualified technician. The
manufacturer can’t be responsible for damage caused by building-in or connecting errors.
• The appliance must be properly grounded by a qualified technician.
• The appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an adapted and
approved work surface.
• The appliance can’t be used above a dishwasher or a tumble dryer: steam may damage the
electronic components.
• The cooking plate can’t be used freestanding or as working surface.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
• Unpack the cooktop and its accessories carefully.
• Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
• Do not change or alter the appliance.
• Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The installation must be performed by a qualified technician. The installation must comply with all
local, state and national standards and regulations.
Cooktop Preparation
The gasket supplied with the cooktop prevents the intrusion of liquids into the cabinet below. Its
installation has to be done carefully, as described here:
Stick the gasket (2) 1/16” from the
external edge of the glass, after
removing the protection tape (3).

5. Overhead cabinets
• Ensure a distance of 2” between the edges of the cooktop and the side walls.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• Make sure the wall coverings, countertop and cabinets around the cooktop can withstand
heat (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.
• Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper
operation of the cooktop. Allow a 1½” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal
casing of the cooktop and the surface located below.
• If a drawer is placed under the cooktop, do not put into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or non heat resistant objects.
• Do not install the cooktop above a non-ventilated oven or a dishwasher.

Connect Electrical Supply
WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing
The electrical power supply should be a 1-phase, 3-wire system with ground connection. Install
suitable junction box (not furnished). Connect the flexible cable conduit from the cooktop to the
junction box using a UL-listed or CSA-approved conduit connector.
Connect the cooktop lead wires to the junction box supply wires in proper phase:
Black (L1) to black
Red (L2) to red
Green (ground) to ground.
WARNING: Always connect the ground wire.

Residual heat indication
The cooktop is equipped with a residual heat display. A lamp has been allocated to each individual
cooking zone. This lamp will light up as soon as the respective cooking zone has heated up to
warn against touching the cooking zone surface unintentionally. As long as the lamp lights up,
even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat can be used to melt or to
keep the food warm. The cooking zone surface may still be hot after the lamp switches off.
Risk of burn!
STARTING UP AND APPLIANCE OPERATION
Before using your new cooktop
Clean your cooktop with a damp cloth and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing a blue-tinted color on the ceramic glass surface.
Starting up

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning guidelines
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is
COOL.
• Remove any slight marks with a damp cloth with dishwashing liquid diluted in a little water.
Then rinse with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.
• Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaning equipment likely to cause scratches
must absolutely be avoided.
• Never use any steam-cleaner or pressure washer.
• Do not use any object that may scratch the ceramic glass.
Precautions to avoid damaging the appliance
• Raw pan bottoms or damaged cookware (e.g., a non-enameled cast iron pot) may damage
the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage the ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even small ones, on the ceramic glass.
• Avoid hitting the edges of the ceramic glass with the cookware.
• Do not leave empty cookware on the heating cooking zones.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminum sheets must not contact the hot cooking zones. This
may cause breaks or other alterations of the ceramic glass by cooling.
