BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

CAUTION: This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and electromagnetic compatibility legislation.

However, persons with pacemaker should keep at a safe distance from the appliance. This is because it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of potentially harmful interference.

To make the most of your new appliance,

•

please read the user instructions carefully and keep them handy 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 underside 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 a dishwasher or washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come into 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

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.
