• Follow the installation instructions supplied with the
appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from other appliances
and units.
• Always take care when moving the appliance as it is
heavy. Always use safety gloves and enclosed
footwear.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to prevent
moisture from causing swelling.
• 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.
Electrical Connection
Warning! Risk of fire and electric shock.

appliance. Always pull the mains plug.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line protecting
cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses removed from the
