NOTES ON SAFETY
The appliance is not intended to be operated by me-
ans of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
You should not use steam cleaning devices to clean
the appliance.
Caution! The cooking process has to be supervised.
A short term cooking process has to be supervised
continuously.
Warning! Use only hob guards designed by manu-
facturer 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 ap-
pliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
• Do not allow children to approach the hob during its use due to the risk of spilling hot
pots and getting burnt.
• Make sure that the cord does not touch any hot surfaces of the hob.
• Do not install the hob near the cooling equipment.
• When cooking in fat or oil do not leave the appliance unattended.
• - these substances can cause a re.
• Defective hob can be used only after it has been repaired by a qualied professional.
• Improper repairs and adjustments are prohibited because they can a󰀨ect the safety of
using the hob.
• Do not allow small children and persons who are not familiar with this operator’s manual
to operate the hob.
• In the event of any technical failure, disconnect the hob from the mains (as described
above), then call customer service.

SAVING ENERGY
Using the energy in a re-
sponsible manner not only
saves money, but also helps
protect the environment.
Tips on saving energy:
• Use the correct cookware
Cookware with at and a thick base can
save up to 1/3 of electricity. Remember
to cover cookware with the lid, otherwise
electricity consumption can increase as
much as four times!
• Match cookware to the size of the co-
oking zone.
Cookware base should never be smaller
or larger than cooking zone.
The appliance was packed
to protected it from dama-
ge during of transport. After
unpacking, please dispose of
all elements of packaging in a
way that will not cause dama-
ge to the environment. All materials used for
packaging the appliance are environmentally
friendly; they are 100% recyclable and are
marked with the appropriate symbol.
Important! Packaging materials (bags, po-
lyethylene, polystyrene, etc.) should be kept
away from children during unpacking.
UNPACKING
• Always keep the cooking zones and
cookware bases clean.
Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often
burnt stains can be removed only with
agents harmful to the environment.
• Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid
to peek into the pot.
• Turn o󰀨 the appliance in time and
use the residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch o󰀨 heating
zones 5 to 10 minutes before nishing
cooking. This can save up to 20% of
electricity.
• Do not install the hob in the imme-
diate vicinity of refrigerator / freezer.
The electricity consumption is then unne-
cessarily increased.
DISPOSAL
Used appliance cannot be di-
sposed together with other ho-
usehold waste. The user is
obliged to hand it over to waste
collection centre collecting used
electrical and electronic goods. It
is indicated by the symbol on the
product itself, or on the Operator’s Manual
or packaging.
The materials used in making of this applian-
ce can be reused, as indicated. By reusing or
recycling the materials or parts, you will be
playing an important part in protecting our
environment.
Information about the relevant disposal points
for worn-out electrical goods is available from
your local authorities.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Making the worktop recess
• Worktop thickness should be 28 - 40 mm, while its width at least 600 mm. The worktop
must be at and level. Edge of the worktop near the wall must be sealed to prevent ingress
of water or other liquids.
• There should be su󰀩cient spacing around the opening, in particular, at least 50 mm di-
stance to the wall and 60 mm distance to the front edge of worktop.
• The distance between the edge of the opening and the side wall of the furniture should
be at least 55 mm.
• Worktop must be made of materials, including veneer and adhesives, resistant to a tem-
perature of 100°C. Otherwise, veneer could come o󰀨 or surface of the worktop become
deformed.
• Edge of the opening should be sealed with suitable materials to prevent ingress of water.
• Worktop opening must cut to dimensions as shown on gure 1.
• Ensure minimum clearance of 25 mm below the hob to allow proper air circulation and
prevent overheating.

Installation of the hob in a furniture worktop
• Use four “A” brackets for 38 mm thick worktops. Fit the hob into worktop opening as shown
on gure 2 and 3. To properly secure hob in 28 mm thick worktop, use four 15x15x50 mm
wooden blocks in addition to “A” brackets. Fit the hob into worktop opening as shown on
gure 4 and 5.
• Check if adhesive seal is properly applied to the hob’s ange.
• Loosely attach xing brackets to the bottom of the hob
• Remove dust from the worktop, insert hob into the opening and press in rmly,
• Position xing brackets perpendicularly to the hob’s edge and tighten rmly.

INSTALLATION
Electrical connection
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
The appliance must be installed by a com-
petent electrician using a double pole control
unit of 32 ampere minimum capacity with
3 mm minimum contact separation at all
poles.
We recommend that the appliance is connec-
ted by a qualied electrician who is member
of the N.C.E.I.C. and who will comply with
the I.E.E. and local regulation.
● Access to the main terminal is gained
by opening the terminal block cover at
the rear of the appliance (use a small
at-bladed screwdriver).
● Connection shuld be made with 4 mm2
twin and earth cable.
● First strip the wires, then push the cable-
through the cable clamp in the terminal
block cover.
● Connect the cable to the terminal block
and tighten the cable clamp screw (see
diagram).
● Ensure the cable exits through the cable
grip clamping on the outer sheath of the
cable and x in place by tightening the
xing screw.
● Ensure all screws are adequately tighte-
ned. Do not over tighten as you may risk
damaging the screw threads.
● Close the terminal box, ensuring that the
cover is engaged on the locking tabs.
● The supply cable must be positioned
away from any hot parts of the rear of
the appliance. If this cannot be done
then another method of protecting the
supply cable from the hot parts must be
used i.e. Heat resistant sleeving or high
temperature cables.
L - Live (Red or Brown)
N - Neutral (Black or Blue)
PE - Earth (Green/Yellow or sleeving)
Grounding lead must be connected to
screw with symbol.
The power supply cable must have these
minimum requirements:
- Type: HO5VV-F (PVC insulated and
sheathed exible cable)
- 3 cores x 4 mm2.

Operating cooking zones. How to save energy?
Fig. 4 Fig. 5
A B C
Using cookware of correct size saves energy. Bases of cookware of correct size should be
thick and have roughly the same diameter as the cooking zone to achieve optimum heat
transfer. (Fig. 4).
How is energy lost?
Fig. 5A The pot is too small for the selected cooking zone.
Fig. 5B The pot base is not at (it is convex).
Fig. 5C The lid is not properly aligned.

OPERATION
Please kindly note the following:
• do not operate a cooking zone without cookware,
• use only the cookware with clean and dry base,
• never cook food in plastic cookware,
• do not put plastic items (spoons, forks, etc.) on a hot cooking zone
• always use cookware with a lid, and make sure that lid does not protrude outside the pot’s
rim and condensation does not leak on the hob,
• protect cooking zones against corrosion,
• turn o󰀨 the cooking zones 5 - 10 minutes before removing cookware.
