• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
• Do not install the hob at the top of a non ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• Ensure under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure good air
circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the hob, avoid putting into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or non heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be taken
when applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket ensures a good seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must comply with the
recommendations of the hood manufacturer. In the case of no instructions, a distance of
500 mm minimum should apply.
• The connection cord should not be subjected to any mechanical constraint.
• Do not use inappropriate child safety shields or hob guards. These can cause accidents.
• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance
or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or
hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be
entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which
respects them scrupulously.
• Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after the building-in.
• The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the
connection box.
• The connection to the main must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar
circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm.
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example:
circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
• If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be
incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
• The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob
or oven.
