Safety instructions for the installer

•A device must be provided in the electrical installation that allows the appliance to be discon- nected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm. Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut - outs, fuses (screw type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage trips and contactors.

•With respect to ﬁre protection, this appliance corresponds to EN 60 335 - 2 - 6. This type of appliance may be installed with a high cupboard or wall on one side.

•Drawers may not be ﬁtted underneath the hob.

•The installation must guarantee shock protection.

•The kitchen unit in which the appliance is ﬁtted must satisfy the stability requirements of DIN 68930.

•For protection against moisture, all cut surfaces are to be sealed with a suitable sealant.

•On tiled work surfaces, the joints in the area where the hob sits must be completely ﬁlled with grout.

•On natural, artiﬁcial stone, or ceramic tops, the snap action springs must be bonded in place with a suitable artiﬁcial resin or mixed adhesive.

•Ensure that the seal is correctly seated against the work surface without any gaps. Additional silicon sealant must not be applied; this would make removal more difﬁcult when servicing.
