The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter
to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and tech-
nical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and
in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.
Installation
• This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting
out the corresponding slot.
• The worktop must be made with a material designed
to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.
• The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away
from the back wall or any other vertical surface in
order to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent
the surfaces around the appliance from overheating.
• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the
latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.
• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher;
if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating
element between the two appliances.
Installation and fastening
Fastening
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-
ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.
Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the
characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform-
ance.
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-
gram).
It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all
times.
Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all
along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter
adheres fully to the worktop.
