1 Safety Instructions for the Installer

•A device must be provided in the electrical installa- tion which allows the appliance to be disconnected 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 re- moved from the holder), earth leakage trips and contactors.

•In respect of fire protection, this appliance corre- sponds to type Y (EN 60 335-2-6). Only 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 re- moval more difficult when servicing.

•Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.

•The hob must be pressed out from below when re- moved.

Electrical Connection

Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the appliance, that is the voltage stated on the rating plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage. The rating plate is located on the lower casing of the hob.

The heating element voltage is AC230V~. The appliance also works perfectly on older networks with AC220V~.

The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm, eg. automatic line protecting cut-out,earth leakage tripsorfuse.

A type H05VV-F cable or one with a higher grade must be used as the mains connecting cable.

The connection must be carried out as shown in the diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to the appropriate connection diagram. The earth lead is connected to terminal E. The earth lead must be longer than leads carrying electric current.

The cable connections must be made in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.

Finally, the connecting cable is to be secured with the mains cable cleat and the covering closed by pressing firmly (lock into place).

Before switching on for the first time, any protective foil or stickers must be removed from the ceramic glass surface.

1Once connected to the mains supply check that all cooking zones are ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting.
