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 installation 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: as steam may
cause damage.
Using the appliance
Switch the heating zones off after using.
Keep an eye on the hob whilst 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.
Do not place any metallic object on the hob except for pans or cooking utensils. 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 could 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.

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 underside of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guarantee correct ventilation.
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. All 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 at the main electrical supply.
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.
If the supply cor dis damaged, it must be replaced by a cable or special set available by
the manufacturer or his after sale service.
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 from the retailer or from the doctor.
Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on still hot
cooking zones.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters
from the external edge of the glass,
after removing the protection sheet (3).
Over empty kitchen unit or drawers
If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral
wails, drawers, etc.) under the hob, a double-
layer wooden base must be installed at least
30 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid
any accidental contact. It must only be
possible to remove the double-layer base
using suitable equipment.

10
Fitting - installing:
The cut out sizes are:
Reference Cut-size
SA611XC-1 560 x 490 mm
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.
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 30 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 760 mm.
The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint,
such for example of the fact of the drawer.
