BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

• To make the most of your new appliance,

please read the user instructions carefully and
keep them to hand for future consultation.

INSTALLATION

Hob

• The hob must be set into a worktop between 20 mm
and 50 mm deep

• For the distance between the lower face of the glass
ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel,
observe the dimensions given in figure “A”.

• If the hob is to be installed next to a column unit, leave
a distance of at least 100 mm from the edge of the hob.

• Make an opening in the worktop of the dimensions shown in

the Product Description Sheet supplied separately.

• Apply the supplied gasket to the hob (unless it has already
been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.

Important

In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and
therefore from being damaged, we recommend the following:

• Do not install the hob near the dishwasher or washing
machine, so that the electronic circuits are not in
contact with steam or moisture, which could damage
them.

If an oven (which must be of our manufacture) is to be installed
under the hob, ensure it is equipped with a cooling system and
observe the distances given in figure “B”. There must be nothing
between the hob and the oven (cross rails, panels, brackets,
etc.).

If the oven has a self-cleaning function (pyrolysis), do not use the
hob whilst this function is selected.

If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the
maximum permitted temperature, the hob will switch off
automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the
internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable
level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.

• Switch the hob off after use.
