BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

IMPORTANT: This hob complies with all
applicable safety and electromagnetic
compatibility legislation.

WARNING: individuals fitted with a heart
pacemaker should maintain a safe distance
from the appliance. This is because there is no
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 38 mm and
60 mm deep

• For the distance between the underside of the glass ceramic
hob and the cupboard or separating panel below, 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.

• Cut an opening in the countertop to the dimensions shown in the

installation sheet provided separately.

• Clean the hob surface, then (if not already in place) fit the seal
provided.

• If the worktop is made of marble, fit the hob using the special
installation kit, to be ordered from the after-sales service. To
guarantee correct operation, the appliance must be installed on a
perfectly flat surface.

Important

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

• Do not install the hob near the dishwasher or washing
machine, thus protecting the electronic circuits from coming
into contact with steam and 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.

Should the temperature of the electronic circuits exceed 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Electrical connection must be made before connecting the
appliance to the electricity supply. The appliance must be
installed by a qualified electrician who is fully aware of current
safety and installation regulations. Specifically, installation must be
carried out in compliance with the regulations of the local
electricity company. Make sure that the voltage shown on the
rating plate is the same as the power supply voltage in your
home. Regulations require that the appliance is earthed: use
conductors (including the earth conductor) of the appropriate
size only. The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to
persons or animals and for damage to property resulting from
failure to observe the above regulations. For the electrical
connection use an H05 RR-F type cable as indicated in the table
below:

The connection can be made directly to the mains by
means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum
contact gap of 3 mm.

Important: the power supply cable must be long enough to

allow the hob to be removed from the worktop and must be
positioned so as to avoid damage or overheating caused by
contact with the base.

Connecting to the terminal board
Note: the yellow/green earth wire must be connected to the

terminal with the symbol and must be longer than the other
wires.

• Strip approx. 70 mm of sheath from the power supply cable
(B).

• Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the wires. Next insert the

power supply cable into the cable clamp and connect the
wires to the terminal board as indicated in the diagram next to
the terminal board itself.

• Secure the power supply cable (B) by means of the cable
clamp.

• Close the terminal board with the cover (A) securing it with
the screw provided.

• After the electrical connection, fit the hob from the top and
hook it to the support springs, following the diagram.
