HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.

• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolourations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Energy saving

• Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

• Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.

• If possible, always place lids on the pans.

• Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.

WARNING

Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Considerable danger to the user may result from improper repairs.

IMPORTANT

If the appliance has been wrongly operated, the visit from the customer service technician or dealer may not take place free of charge, even during the warranty period.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

This must be read! The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.)

IMPORTANT

Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed.

Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance.

The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant. The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap. Do not use silicon sealant between the appliance and the work top. 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.

WARNING

Risk of injury from electrical current.

• The electrical mains terminal is live.

• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.

• Follow connection schematic.

• Observe electrical safety rules.

• Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.

• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.

• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.

• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.

• Use strain relief clamp on cable.

WARNING

The surface temperature exceeds 95°C. To avoid a hazard, underbench access must be restricted.

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. Also check the power rating of the appliance and ensure that the wire is suitably sized in accordance with local wiring rules to suit the appliance power rating. The rating plate is located on the lower casing of the hob. Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with local wiring rules. 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 trips or fuse. If this appliance’s mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C; or higher). 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. 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 glass ceramic surface.

Connection cable

• Use the correct mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) for a single phase or two phase connection.

• Replace the damaged mains cable with a special cable (type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C or higher) 3 x 2.5mm2 with an all-pole 25A breaker. Speak to your local Service Centre.

• The earth cord (green/yellow cable) must be 2cm longer than phase and neutral cable (blue and brown cables).

• The cable conditions must be in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.

• 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 glass ceramic surface.

WARNING

Once 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.

• A duplicate rating label is supplied with this unit. For easy identification of this unit after installation, stick it to a readily available surface adjacent to the cooktop.

Sticking on the seal

• Clean the worktop around the cutout area.

• Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape provided on the underside of the hob around the outside edge ensuring that it is not stretched. The two ends of the tape should join in the middle of one side. After trimming the tape (allow it to overlap by 2-3 mm), press the two ends together.
