■Caution! Check whether the details on the identification plate match with the local connection conditions (type of gas and gas pressure) and with the settings of the appliance. If you notice any discrepancies, the appliance must be converted accordingly by Küppersbusch Service!
■The use of a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to build up in the room where the appliance is installed. As a result, the appliance should be installed in a well ventilated room.
■If the connection plug isn’t accessible, safety measures should be used with line-protecting cutouts, fuses or contactors with contact opening at least 3 mm (1/8 inches) wide.
■Maintenance and repair work on the appliance must be performed by a trained technician. The power supply and the gas supply should always be turned off during repairs or connection. To avoid potential safety hazards, make sure all installation, service and maintenance has been performed according to guidelines.

■This appliance must be grounded into a 120-volt grounded outlet. Do not remove the round grounding plug from the plug. It is your personal responsibility to make sure you have a properly grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
■This appliance is not connected to a pipe for extracting combustion products. It must be installed and connected according to the appli- cable installation conditions. It’s very important to provide appropriate ventilation.

Installation
Requirements for installation
■Your appliance should be installed in a room large enough that fresh air ventilation can be provided by either a window or a door.
■All setting data for the appliance is listed in these operating instructions. You can also find them on an information place or identification plate on the appliance.
■The cook top must be built into an opening in the counter top. This opening must be prepared according to the installation dimensions specified below.
■The counter top must be aligned horizontally. Make a clean cut into it for the opening.
■There must be no cross bars beneath the opening. They should be cut back to at least the size of the opening in the worktop.
■Protect all cut surfaces of the counter top with a coat of waterproof paint.
■Additional space for the gas connection is required below the cook top.
■The wall connection strip must be made of heat-resistant material and must have no sockets in the area around the cook top. Use a support strip made of plastic with a covering strip made of aluminum. The lateral part on the counter top must not be longer than one inch.
■The wall above the wall connection strip in the area around the appliance must be made of non-flammable material. Do not use wood, plastic, PVC, foil etc.
■During normal use, very high temperatures may affect the surrounding items of furniture. Protect all plastic finish or veneer of built-in kitchen furnishings with a heat-resistant adhesive (100°C/225°F).
Gasket
■Before installing the cook top and any time that it’s removed, the gasket should be checked for signs of damage and to make sure it fits perfectly. If necessary, put in a new gasket. Don’t use any additional adhesives like silicone, because plastic-coated counter tops can be damaged when the cook top is removed.
Exception: Uneven counter tops (i.e. ceramic tiles) require a gasket made of a heat-resistant, permanently elastic sealing material (i.e. with silicone, suitable for ceramic surfaces). Only apply this sealing material around the edge of the cook top. Don’t apply the sealing mass underneath the cook top onto the counter top or the work surface will be damaged when the cook top is removed.
Installation dimensions
■The distances at the front, rear and sides of the cook top opening must conform to the measurements shown in the drawing. The edges at the front and the rear are based on a counter top depth of 600 mm (23-5/8”). The rear edge will be wider for counter tops of greater depth.
■High cupboards located at the side of the cook top should be located at least 300 mm (12") away.
■Hoods and cabinets above the cook top should be at least 650 mm (26") away from the cook top.The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooking top is 330 mm (13 inches).
