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

Cooktop

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

• There must be nothing between the cooktop and the
oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).

• The distance between the lower face of the glass
ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel
must be at least 20 mm.

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

Make an opening in the worktop of the dimensions shown in

•

the Product Description Sheet supplied separately.
Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (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 cooktop near the dishwasher or
washing machine, so that the electronic circuits are not
in contact with steam or moisture, which could damage
them.

If there is an oven under the hob (manufactured by us), make
sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.

If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the
maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop 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 cooktop on
again.

• Switch off the hob after use.
