INSTALLATION

Recommendations

Important: Disconnect the hob from the mains before

carrying out any installation work or servicing.

• All electrical connections must be made before

connecting the appliance to the power supply.

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician

in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and

in compliance with local regulations.

not been damaged during transport.

If you are not

sure contact the dealer or the nearest service

centre.

Preparing the housing unit

• Cut the worktop to fit before installing the appliance.

Carefully remove any shavings or sawdust that could

prevent the appliance from running properly.

Attention:

to install the hob on other surfaces than wood

ask After Sales Service for the fixing plates (fig. 2) Code 4819

• The hob must be fitted in a worktop with a minimum

thickness of 20 mm and a maximum of 50 mm.

• Insert a separator panel at a minimum distance of

90 mm from the bottom of the hob, so that it cannot be

accessed by the user.

• If there is an oven under the hob, make sure that it is

manufactured by us and equipped with a cooling

system.

• There must be nothing between the hob and the oven

(e.g. cables, insulating material, etc.).

• An adjacent column unit must be installed at least

100 mm from the edge of the hob.

• Cut an opening in the worktop of the given dimensions.

worktop with wood glue or silicone.

the hob.

Make sure that that the opening in the worktop for the hob is

cut according to the dimensions given in the drawing, paying

glass-ceramic top may cause it to crack (even at a later date)!
