1.

electromagnetic compatibility legislation.
However, individuals fitted with a heart pacemaker
should maintain 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.
Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the various

2.

packing materials responsibly, in full compliance with
local authority regulations governing waste disposal.
This induction hob is designed solely for use as a

3.

domestic appliance. No other type of use is permitted.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
inappropriate use.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons

4.

The

letter “H”

panel display to indicate “residual heat” in the
corresponding cooking zone: the temperature
of the cooking zone is above 60 °C: do not

This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to

9.

prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged
by high temperatures from external heat sources
(e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the
electronic circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the
thermoprotector activates, automatically switching off
the hob. The display shows an error message

will appear on the control

(see. section “Troubleshooting Guide”). When the
temperature returns to within normal levels the hob is
able to be switched on again.

the regulations provided in this chapter.

Electrical connections

Hob electrical connection must be made before

•

connecting the appliance to the electricity supply.
Electrical connection must be carried out in compliance

•

with the regulations of the local electric utility company.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate

•

on the underside of the appliance corresponds to the
domestic power supply voltage.

Regulations require that the appliance is earthed: use

•

conductors (including the earth conductor) of the
appropriate size only.

For electrical connection, use an H05 RR-F type cable as

•

specified in the table “Power supply voltage”.

Connecting to the terminal board

Connect the yellow/green earth wire to the terminal with
the symbol . This wire must be longer than the other

wires.

Remove the terminal block cover (A), undoing the

1.

screw and inserting the cover in the terminal block
hinge (B).
Strip approx. 70 mm of sheath from the power supply

2.

cable.
Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the wires. Insert

3.

the power supply cable into the cable clamp and
