• Keep the minimum distance from other
appliances and units.
• Always take care when moving the appliance as
it is heavy. Always use safety gloves and
enclosed footwear.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to prevent
moisture to cause swelling.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance from steam
and moisture.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a door
or under a window. This prevents hot cookware
falling from the appliance when the door or the
window is opened.
• If the appliance is installed above drawers make
sure that the space, between the bottom of the
appliance and the upper drawer, is sufficient for
air circulation.
• The underside of the appliance can get hot
when in use. If an oven has not been fitted
underneath the hob and underside of the
appliance is accessible and could allow a user
or items stored beneath the hob to come in
direct contact with the underside of the hob, an
intermediate protection panel must be fitted.
• Plywood or kitchen carcass material is
acceptable for the panel.
• The panel must be removable for servicing.
Screws used to fix the panel must be accessible
after installation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! Risk of fire and electric
shock.
• All electrical connections should be made by a
qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation make sure
that the appliance is disconnected from the
power supply.
• Make sure that the parameters on the rating
plate are compatible with the electrical ratings
of the mains power supply.
• Make sure the appliance is installed correctly.
Loose and incorrect electricity mains cable or
plug (if applicable) can make the terminal
become too hot.
• Use the correct electricity mains cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable tangle.
• Make sure that a shock protection is installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on the cable.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if

hot cookware, when you connect the appliance
to the near sockets.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and extension
cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the mains
plug (if applicable) or to the mains cable.
Contact our Authorised Service Centre or an
electrician to change a damaged mains cable.
• The shock protection of live and insulated parts
must be fastened in such a way that it cannot be
removed without tools.
• Connect the mains plug to the mains socket
only at the end of the installation. Make sure that
there is access to the mains plug after the
installation.
• If the mains socket is loose, do not connect the
mains plug.
• Do not pull the mains cable to disconnect the
appliance. Always pull the mains plug.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses
removed from the holder), earth leakage trips
and contactors.
• The electrical installation must have an isolation
device which lets you disconnect the appliance
from the mains at all poles. The isolation device
must have a contact opening width of minimum
3 mm.
