• Protect the bottom of the appliance from
steam and moisture.
• Do not install the appliance next to a door
or under a window. This prevents hot
cookware from 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 bottom of the appliance can get hot.
Make sure to install a separation panel
made from plywood, kitchen carcass
material or other non-flammable materials
under the appliance to prevent access to
the bottom.
• The separation panel has to cover the
area under the hob completely.
• Make sure that the ventilation space of 2
mm, between the worktop and the front of
the below unit, is free. The warranty does
not cover damages caused by the lack of
an adequate ventilation space.
2.2 Electrical Connection
WARNING!
Risk of fire and electric shock.
• All electrical connections should be made

correctly. Loose and incorrect electricity
mains cable or plug (if applicable) can
make the terminal become too hot.

parts must be fastened in such a way that
it cannot be removed without tools.

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

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.
