INSTA ATION
Installation and maintenance must only be
carried out by a qualified installer.
The appliance must be correctly installed in
conformity with current law and the
manufacturer's instructions.
Incorrect installation could cause damage to
persons, animals and property for which the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
4) INSTA ING THE HOT P ATE
Check that the appliance is in a good condition
after having removed the outer packaging and
internal wrappings from around the various loose
parts. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance
and contact qualified personnel.
Never leave the packaging materials
(cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.)
within children's reach since they could
become potential sources of danger.
The measurements of the opening made in the top
of the modular cabinet and into which the hot plate
will be installed are indicated in either fig. 4, comply
with the measurements given for the hole into which
the appliance will be recessed (see fig. 5).
If a wood is installed above the hob, please look at
the hood manufacturer instructions regarding the
minimum distance between hood and hob (fig. 5).
5) FIXING THE HOT P ATE
The hob has a special seal which prevents liquids
from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly comply
with the following instructions in order to correctly
apply this seal:
- detach the seals from their backing, checking
that the transparent protection still adheres to the
seal itself.
- Overturn the hob and correctly position seal “E”
(fig. 6) under the edge of the hob itself, so that
the outer part of the seal itself perfectly matches
the outer perimetral edge of the hob. The ends of
the strips must fit together without overlapping.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob,
pressing it in place with the fingers.
- Remove the strip of protective paper from the
seal it the hooks into their relative housings in
the unit and set the hob into the hole in the
cabinet. Lock it in place with the relative fixing
screws “G” (see fig. 7).
WARNINGS:
be aware that the glue that join the laminated
plastic to the furniture, has to resist to
temperature not below 150 °C, to avoid the
unstuck of the panelling.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding
surfaces must therefore be able to withstand
an temperature of 90 °C.

INSTA ATION
6) E ECTRICA CONNECTIONS
Electrical connection must be carried out in
compliance with the specifications and
provisions in force.
Before proceeding with the connections, check that:
- the voltage matches the value shown on the
specification plate and the section of the wires of
the electrical system can support the load, which
is also indicated on the specification plate.
- The voltage rating of the appliance and the
current sockets suits the maximum power draw
of the appliance (see data label affixed to the
lower part of the appliance itself).
- The system is equipped with an efficient earth
connection in compliance with the pertinent
provisions in force. The manufacturer declines all
responsibility for failure to comply with these
provisions.
- If the appliance has no power cable, connect a
cable of adeguate section to the terminal strip
(consult the table on next page) complying with
the wiring diagram of fig. 8. This diagram is also
affixed to the hot plate.
When connection to the electricity main is made
by using a socket (gas version only):
- fit a standard plug to power cable (if supplyied).
This plug should be able to bear the load
indicated on the data label. Connect the wires
according to the diagram in fig. 8, remembering
to comply with the following instructions:
Letter L (live) = brown wire;
Letter N (neutral) = blue wire;
Earth symbol = yellow-green wire.
- The powering cable must be positioned so that it
is never able to reach an temperature of 90 °C in
any part.
- Never use reductions, adapters or shunts for the
connection since these could cause false
contacts and dangerous overheating.
- The outlet must be accessible after the built-in.
When the appliance is connected straight to the
electricity main:
- install an omnipolar cutout between the
appliance itself and the main. This circuit-breaker
should be sized according to the rating of the
appliance and the opening between its contacts
should be at least 3 mm.
- Remember that the earth wire must not be cutout
by the switch.
- The electrical connection may also be protected
by a high sensitivity differential switch.
Installers are strongly advised to connect the
yellow- green earthing wire to an efficient earthing
system.
The manufacturer cannot be responsible for the
missing earthing of the appliance.
Before performing any service on the electrical
part of the appliance, it must absolutely be
disconnected from the electrical network.
