Dear customer,
We would like to thank and congratulate you for your choice.
This practical modern appliance has been made using materials of
the highest quality, which have been put through the strictest of
Quality Controls during manufacture and meticulously tested to
ensure that they meet all of your cooking demands.
We kindly ask you to read and follow these simple instructions
in order to guarantee first-class results from the very start. This
booklet contains important information not only concerning use,
but also concerning your own personal safety and maintenance of
the appliance.
Our products need to be carefully packed to protect them during
transportation. All the material used for packing is considered
essential for this purpose and is also completely recyclable. You
too can contribut towards protecting the environment by disposing
of this material at your nearest recyclable refuse collection point.
Do not dispose of used cooking oil down the kitchen sink. Oil may
seriously damage the environment. Dispose of it in a closed container
at your nearest collection point or, failing this, dispose of it in your
rubbish bin. Although this last solution is far from perfect, your oil
will be taken to a controlled refuse dump where it will not be allowed
to pollute water. You and your children will appreciate it.
Render your old appliance useless before disposing of it at your
nearest recyclable refuse collection centre.
Your local authority will be pleased to inform you where your nearest
centre is.

Connection
Installation continued
Electrical:
An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the
hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must remain
accessible after installation of the appliance.
Important note:
Gas:
During the planning stage, consider the position of supply
The hob must be connected to the gas supply with upstream
connection of an isolation valve in accordance with the respec-
tively valid regulations. We recommend that the isolation valve
be fitted prior to the cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop
from gas supply. The valve must be easily accessible at all
times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of cooktop next
to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to installation.
Direction of gas flow is indicated on the rear of the regulator.
Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly theaded pipes
and careful assembly procedure so that there is no cross
threading, etc., which might cause damage or leakage.
Make sure that all connections peformed are free of leakage.
In either of the cases, do not move or twist the L-tube from its
factory-set position.
If for some reason, the L-tube should be twisted, it is necessary
to make sure that this area is properly sealed. Make sure that

Universal LPG connection
This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by means
of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the kitchen unit
to prevent it from coming into contact with hot parts of the hob
(or an oven installed underneath) and remain accessible after
installation of the cooktop.
When making this connection make
sure that the lead cannot come into contact with hot parts
of the hob.
Important: This appliance must be earthed. When connecting
the cooktop ensure that the earth wire is connected first and
that all wires are connected to the correct terminals.
