SAFETY
Precautions before using
•Unpack all the materials.
•The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved specialists.
The manufacturer cannot be responsible for damage caused by building-in or connecting
errors.
•To be used, the appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
•This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any
other domestic, commercial or industrial use.
•Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
•Do not change or alter the appliance.
•The cooking plate cannot be used as freestanding or as working surface.
•The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
•Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
•The appliance cannot be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may
damage the electronic appliances.
Using the appliance
•Switch the heating zones off after using.
•Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite.
•Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
•Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
•Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to
the engaged appliance.
•Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob
surface since they can get hot.
•In general do not place any metallic object except heating containers on the glass
surface. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even
burn.
•Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to become
very hot and catch fire.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
•Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

19
Precautions not to damage the appliance
•Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
•Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
•Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
•Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
•Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
•Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do
not burn yourself).
•Never place any hot container over the control panel.
•If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
•Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
•If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying.
•If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact
the after sales service.
•Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
•WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other protections
•Note sure that the container pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of
the pan must have to cover as much as possible the cooking zone.
•For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could influence its operating. We
recommend getting information to the retailer or of the doctor.
•Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on still hot
cooking zones.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation must be performed by a qualified electrical contractor. This contractor will take
the entire responsibility of the installation. The installation has to comply with the legislation and
the standards in force in your country.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob prevents the intrusion of liquids into the cabinet below.
Its installation has to be done carefully, as described below.
Fitting - installing:
•Cut out sizes of the worktop:
A B E F H
EKE8342.1ED 800 mm 520 mm 750 mm 490 mm 44 mm
•Ensure that there is a distance of 40 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.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters
from the external edge of the glass,
after removing the protection tape (3).

29
•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 75 °C.
•The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
•Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
•To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
•If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or not 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 given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into
the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction
with smooth work top surfaces.
•The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a
distance minimum of 650 mm.
•The connection cord should not be subjected, after building-in, to any mechanical
constraint (for instance constraint given by a drawer installed below).
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.
