Safety
DANGER OF FIRE!
WARNING: Cooking with fat or oil on a hob without supervision
can be dangerous and can lead to a fire.
• NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Instead, switch the
appliance off and then cover the flames with, for example, a lid
or a fire blanket.
WARNING!
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the
instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the
appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
• If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the
installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this
should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres
between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
• The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
• This appliance is only designed for household use.
• The appliance is not designed for heating rooms.
• Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of
pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or
scalded.
• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the
appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
• Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may
accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects
could melt, become hot or catch fire.
• Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
• The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
5
Safety
• When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new
smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated,
the smell will soon disappear.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
• Never open the casing of the appliance.
• Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning the appliance.
Only clean the appliance when switched off. The steam of a steam
cleaner could reach the conducting parts and cause an electrical
short.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable.
For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause
it to break.
• The hob is fitted with a Wi-Fi module that allows the appliance to
connect to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
It offers to monitor the cooking hob status via the mobile device.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to remotely control, turn on
or turn off the hob. The monitoring function via mobile device shall
not be used to replace the personal supervision of the cooking
process directly at the hob.
• If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a
fault, we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug
from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s
waste disposal site.
WARNING!
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Safety
Ceramic glass plate broke
• Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element
and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
• Do not touch the appliance surface.
• Do not use the appliance.
• Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in
cupboards above or behind the appliance.
• The cooking zones/burners heat up during use and stay hot for
a while afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during
and immediately after cooking.
Induction use
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and
lids on the surface of the cooking hob; they may become hot.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process
will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
• After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t
rely only on the pan detector.
• Remember that if the hob is used in a high setting, the heating
time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone in a high setting.
• When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
• Never use aluminium foil for cooking, and never place products
packaged in aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt
and irreparably damage your device.

Safety
Extraction use
WARNING!
Life-threatening, the danger of poisoning through back-drafting
of combustion gasses!
• Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that
consumes air from the room unless the room is sufficiently
ventilated. Cooking appliances that consume air in the room (such
as equipment that heats using gas, oil, wood or coal, geysers,
and hot water appliances) draw the combustion air out of the
room and carry these gasses outside via the outlet (e.g. chimney).
In combination with an activated cooker hood, the air is withdrawn
from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates negative
pressure if there is an insufficient air supply. Poisonous gasses
from the chimney or outlet channel are back-drafted into the living
area.
• Always provide adequate ventilation!
• When the extraction unit and appliances supplied with energy
other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 × 10
-5
bar).
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
fulfilled.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is
switched off before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not use the extraction unit if the grease filter has not been fitted
properly!
• To prevent hot fat from catching fire, you should only deep-fry
under continuous supervision.
• Clean the filters on time.
• Follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning or replacing the
grease filters and/or carbon filters!
8
Safety
DANGER OF FIRE!
There is a risk of fire if the instructions for cleaning or replacing
grease filters and/or carbon filters are not followed. Consult chapter
'Maintenance' concerning the details of the method and frequency
of cleaning.
Grease deposits in the metal grease filters can cause a fire.
Never flambé on a cooking zone with the extractor switched on.
The high flames can cause a fire. Always use the appliance with
the metal grease filter. Clean the grease filter regularly.
Overheated fat or oil can start a fire. Always supervise the heating
of fat and oil. Never extinguish a fire with water; always use a fire
blanket, lid or plate.
Safe use
Temperature safety
• The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking.
The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
• The induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking
zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget
to switch off your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
The cooking zone switches off automatically
after:
Setting
9 hours1 and 2
6 hours3, 4 and 5
4 hours6, 7 and 8
3 hours9
2 hours10

Safety
The cooking zone switches off automatically
after:
Setting
1 hour11 and 12
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time in the table has elapsed.
The cooking zone switches automatically to
setting 12 after:
Setting
10 minutesBoost
NOTE!
The Cooking-time limiter for the specific cooking zone is reset after the user has changed the
cooking level of the specific cooking zone.
NOTE!
Cooking zone related timers take priority over the cooking-time limiter.
‘Open window’ function
If it is prescribed that an extraction unit, which is located in a room where a fireplace is present, may
only be used when a (kitchen) window is open, then a window sensor must be installed.
The ‘open window’ function is automatically activated as soon as an ‘open window’ sensor is
connected to the appliance. The use of an ‘open window’ sensor type ‘FDS 100’ is recommended.
Power management
This induction hob is equipped with a smart power management system. This system ensures a
maximum permissible power cannot be exceeded for safety reasons.
• The smart power management system will arrange the power distribution across the zones
automatically. This means the hob could automatically decrease the power on one zone when
the power level of another zone is increased. The level of activity of the power management
system depends on the available power per electrical phase, the setting of the current limiter
and the connected load.
• The power level of one zone can affect the power of another zone as the maximum available
power is distributed among the zones. If the combined zones reach the maximum available
power when a new power level is set, the power levels of one or more zones are automatically
reduced within the power limit. This is indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element.
• In case a zone is used for Celsius°Cooking
TM
, this zone always gets the highest priority.
• Intervention by the smart power management system is more likely when the current limiter is
set to a lower level.
• The current limiter setting must be set according to your connection and circuit breakers by a
registered and qualified installer (see 'Current limiter' for the details on currents and electrical
installation).

Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
To start with, you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to a boil very
rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling
over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and
the handles stay cool.
The power level adjusts itself
In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed is used. If you use a small pan on a
large zone, the zone will adjust the power to the pan's diameter. The power will thus be lower, and
it will take longer before the food comes to a boil.
right
wrong
INFORMATION!
• Grains of sand may cause scratches that you cannot remove.
Therefore, only put pans with a clean base on the cooking
surface and always pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
Operation of the touch keys and sliders
• The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are used to other (rotary) controls.
Place the tip of your finger flat on the control to achieve the best results.
• The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with
any other objects.
• The cooking hob is operated by a slider. You can either touch the selected part of the slider or
slide in a circular motion clockwise to increase or anti-clockwise to decrease the power level
and temperature.
• To set the cooking zone power level, touch the desired spot on the slider. As you touch the slider,
the selected power level will appear on the cooking zone display unit.
• The selected part of the slider will be fully lit.
• Do not use any objects to operate the slider.
18
Use
How induction works
The coil (1) in the hob (2) generates a magnetic field (3). By placing a
pan with an iron base (4) on the coil, a current is induced in the base
of the pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest setting, you can melt chocolate
directly in the pan, for example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob high power levels, bringing food to a boil is very quick.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves,
food spills are unlikely to burn into the glass.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any hotter than the pan. This means
that the cooking zone is considerably cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
Depending on the hob model, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several cooking zones
are switched on simultaneously, the available capacity is shared automatically between them.
When the maximum capacity of the combination of cooking levels is reached during setting, one or
more zones are automatically reduced to the highest possible setting at that moment. This is indicated
by the flashing of the relevant control element.
19
Use
Induction sounds
• Ticking sound
This sound can be caused at lower power level settings or by the automatic pot detection.
• Pan makes sounds
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob
to the pan. At high settings, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the
pans or the hob.
• Ventilator makes sounds
To increase the lifespan and performance of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with
fans. During intense appliance use, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance, and you will
hear a buzzing sound. The fan still runs for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan in terms of quality.
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an
induction hob.
Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:
• a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
• a flat base.
TIP!
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if the
base of the pan is sufficiently attracted by the magnet.

Use
WARNING!
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel) if you switch the hob on at a
high setting when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - for example: Due to overheating;
• heat enamelled pans slowly.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation
of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the
glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling
dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pan diameter
The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm. You will achieve the best results by
using a pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone. If a pan is too small, the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers. The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the
pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch off a cooking zone, the dish stops
cooking immediately.
Pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking zone
display lights up.
Integrated pan recognition
If a certain power level is set for a cooking zone and there is no (suitable) pan on the cooking zone,
the cooking zone will not deliver any power. After a certain period, the cooking zone will switch off
automatically.
Grill plates
The hob has a Grill function (depending on the model) for using a grill plate. The function keeps the
grill plate at an ideal temperature for grilling.
21
Use
Cooking settings
Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the pan and its contents, the table
below is intended as a guideline only.
PurposeLevel
Use settings 1 - 5 to:
• simmer bouillon,
• stew meats,
• simmer vegetables,
• melt chocolate,
• poach,
• melt cheese.
Use settings 6 - 9 to:
• complete the cooking of large quantities,
• defrost hard vegetables,
• fry thick slices of breaded meat.
Use settings 10 - 11 to:
• fry thick pancakes,
• fry bacon (fat),
• cook raw potatoes,
• make breaded fish,
• cook through fish,
• fry thin slices of breaded meat.
Use setting 12 to:

• fry boiled potatoes,
• deep fry foods.
Use setting boost to:
• bring liquids to a boil quickly,
• shrink greens,
• heat oil and fat,
• wok.
22
Use
Using the extraction module
The extraction module is equipped with a movable tower. Using the tower in the raised position, the
extraction module will catch vapour more effectively, especially when using tall pans.
• The tower has two positions; lowered and raised. The position can be changed by touching the
tower up/down key. By default, the tower rises automatically when the induction hob is operated.
This can be changed in the 'Settings' menu.
• Change the extraction setting with the - (minus) and + (plus) keys for the fan (1-4 and boost).
Setting the extraction level to '0' will manually switch off the extraction module or activate the Air-Dry
function if necessary. Use Synchro Stop to automatically switch off the extraction module upon
switching off the hob.
When the tower up/down key is touched during movement, the direction of movement is immediately
changed. Also, if upward movement is obstructed (by an object for example) the direction of
movement changes.
WARNING!
Make sure no objects obstruct the tower in its movement. Any object that is lifted or tilted may
damage the hob and create a hazard (for example, spilling hot contents).
NOTE!
Disable setting 'Automatic raising of the tower' if it is undesirable for the tower to rise automatically
when the extraction is switched on. See chapter 'Settings'.
If the hob is switched off (manually or automatically) while the tower is in the raised position, the
tower automatically lowers.
Automatic extraction
The extraction module has three automatic extraction settings (see chapter 'Settings'):
• Synchro Control: Extraction is automatically controlled when a cooking zone is operated (the
higher the power level of the cooking zone, the higher the extraction). Synchro Control overrides
Synchro Start.
• Synchro Start: Extraction switches on at a fixed setting when a cooking zone is operated. Set the
fixed setting via the settings menu.
• Synchro Stop: The extraction module is automatically switched off and is set to the Air-Dry
function if necessary upon switching off the hob.
23
Use
Placing pans and lids
We recommend placing pans as close to the tower as possible, within the dimensions of the cooking
zones. If a lid is used, place it at an angle on the pan with the opening towards the tower. This
ensures optimal extraction.
TIP!
The use of lids has advantages:
• The heat remains in the pan so that the contents reach the desired temperature faster. The
energy consumption is consequently lower.
• Most cooking vapours condense on the lid, allowing for less (moist) air extraction. With
recirculation, humidity levels increase significantly less as a result. In addition, the exhaust
module could run at a lower noise level.
Use the tower in the raised position for greater effectiveness, especially when using tall pans.
Air-Dry function
The Air-Dry function ensures that the extraction channels and grease filters are blown dry.
After 10 minutes, the Air-Dry function switches off automatically.
24
Use
Clean grease filter indicator
The extraction module has a filter indicator. This indicator flashes when the grease filters need to be
cleaned. Three use intensities can be set, which determine the cleaning interval of the grease filters.
By selecting the correct intensity of use based on cooking habits, the filters will not need to be
cleaned more than necessary.
See the table for the required grease filter cleaning interval.

Replace recirculation filter indicator
The extraction module has a filter indicator. This indicator and the letter ‘r’ on the display flash when
the recirculation filter needs to be replaced.
The recirculation filter has a replacement interval of 300 operating hours. See ‘Replacing the
recirculation filter’ in chapter 'Maintenance'.

Grill
This function is exclusively for connected Bridge Induction cooking zones that are combined to form
a larger cooking zone.
Grilling is optimized for ASKO induction accessories: the grill plate and the teppanyaki. It will also
work with different cookware, but perhaps less accurate.
Some functions are indicating the heat up time, counting down. In the heating-up stage, the slider
and the set temperature will flash. When the set temperature is reached, a short beep will be emitted,
and the slider will be constantly lit. You may then start cooking.
The sensor which measures the temperature while cooking within the PLUS menu programs is located
in the glass below the cookware. Because of this, there is always an offset between the setpoint and
the actual temperature of the content inside the cookware. The temperature of the content inside
the cookware is therefore also dependent on factors such as the type of pan, the volume of liquid
and whether a lid is placed on the pan.
NOTE!
Up to a temperature of 94 °C, the programs allow the hob to reach and maintain the set
temperature automatically by measuring the glass surface temperature. This will avoid liquids
overflowing and burning on the bottom of the pan.
NOTE!
From 100 °C on these programs will heat cookware with different timed power steps. The set
temperature serves as an indication of the approximately to be reached temperature range.
Someone must always be present to supervise the cooking process.
NOTE!
For more accuracy, Celsius°Cooking™ cookware such as Frying Pan, Chef's Pot or the Probe is
recommended, with separate functions for it (see chapter 'Cooking with Celsius°Cooking™').

Operation
NOTE!
Starting these menu functions at the beginning of the cooking process will give the best results.

Operation
Cooking with Celsius°Cooking™ cookware and Hestan Cue
programs
This option involves cooking using either the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware (frying pan or pot’s) that
continuously measures the temperature inside the cookware or the Celsius°Cooking™ temperature
probe. All use Bluetooth connections to send information about the temperature to the cooking hob.
Preparing the system
Before you start cooking, please make sure you complete all the preparation steps. Otherwise, you
may run into difficulties or inadvertently cause damage to the system.
Using Celsius°Cooking™ ensures the cookware is always at the right temperature needed to prepare
the food you are cooking.
Prepare Celsius°Cooking™ Probe
1. Pull the battery protection tab out of the
Celsius°Cooking™ Probe housing.
2. The Celsius°Cooking™ Probe is ready to
be used. If necessary, replace the battery.
Battery installation Celsius°Cooking™
Probe
1. Unscrew and remove the battery cover
and replace the battery (negative (-) side
goes in first).
2. Replace the battery cover. Do not
overtighten.
Insert the Celsius°Cooking™ Probe into a cooking pan
The Celsius°Cooking™ Probe can be used with different types and sizes of pans. Due to the use of
a suspension bracket with different holes, the Probe can be suspended in different ways.
31
Operation
1. Slide the suspension bracket over the pan edge.
2. Insert the probe into the suspension bracket from above.
NOTE!
• Leave a minimum distance of 1 cm between the pan base and the measuring point of the
probe!
• In case the connectivity between cookware and the hob is unstable, this could be due to a
low battery. In those cases, we recommend changing the battery.
Celsius°Cooking™ Cookware
1. Insert an AAA battery in the panhandle
(negative (-) end goes in first).
2. Insert the handle end into the panhandle
and turn it a quarter to secure.
NOTE!
Do not exchange the handle cap of a chef's
pot (31620) with that of a frying pan (31619)
or vice versa.
32
Operation
Assigning the cookware to the cooking zone
Switch on the hob and wait until the end of the start-up animation.
Place the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware or a regular pan fitted with the Celsius°Cooking™ probe on
the desired cooking zone. After it has been detected, quickly tap twice with your fingertip on the
sensor in the end cap or the probe housing to activate it. Then the Hestan Cue mode key will
immediately light up. To assign the probe, the Hestan Cue mode key will light upon every possible
cooking zone. Press the Hestan Cue mode key of the desired cooking zone. The Hestan Cue menu
will be opened. With a short press again, it can be closed.
Cooking with the embedded Hestan Cue programs
The hob comes along with integrated Hestan Cue programs, optimized for Celsius°Cooking™
cookware. With the opened menu, 3 different cooking methods can be chosen, with different
temperature ranges. If the probe is used, only two suitable Hestan Cue methods are shown. Use the
one that fits the desired purpose:
33
Operation
Heating up and frying
This program is to reach high temperatures rapidly. High pan bottom temperatures can be reached.
Always add oil or butter before starting it. For healthy cooking don’t exceed the smoke point of the
used oil.
Boiling or cooking with water
With this program, the water gets to boil quickly. Always add water before starting.
Slow cooking or sous vide
This program is to control low to medium temperatures, preventing high bottom temperatures.
Larger quantities and thicker dishes need to be stirred occasionally to ensure a homogeneous heat
distribution.
Using the probe as a cooking thermometer
When a Celsius°Cooking
TM
probe is used it can also be used as a thermometer to just monitor e.g.
the core temperature of a certain dish. This can be done on normal level cooking or PLUS menu
programs. To use the probe as thermometer, lift up the pan you want to use for a few seconds, place
it back on the zone and activate the probe by tapping. When the Hestan Cue symbol appears on
the display, touch it.
INFORMATION!
Please make sure that the appliance is already switched on before placing the Celsius°Cooking™
cookware so that the system can clearly identify its position.
TIP!
When the Celsius°Cooking™ Probe is recognized on a cooking zone, it can also be used as a
thermometer. The display then shows the temperature instead of the power level. As the power
level changes, it is temporarily displayed in place of the actual temperature.
Probe removal detection
If the probe is moved out during cooking, the hob will detect that and stop heating. When placed
back, the user can confirm that by touching the now blinking Hestan Cue mode button, or it might
get re-detected automatically.
E.g. adding cold water to the pot might trigger this detection too!

Switching off the cooking zone
Switching off a Hestan Cue controlled zone is possible by setting the temperature to zero (0).
The display will show a dash. Alternatively, touch the Slider or the Hestan Cue key from the zone to
be switched off for at least 3 seconds to deactivate the Hestan Cue mode completely.
INFORMATION!
While the Celsius°Cooking™ probe is used to control the temperature of the content inside a pan
(e.g. water or soup) the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware is controlled on the pan bottom temperature.
Due to this, there is always an offset between the set-point and actual temperature of the content
INSIDE the cookware. When, e.g. trying to boil a liquid on the Celsius°Cooking™ cookware may
be necessary to set a higher temperature to reach the boiling point. Reaching the boiling point
is also further dependent on the volume of the liquid and whether a lid is placed on top of the
cookware. Furthermore, regular stirring improves this behaviour, even when cooking with the
probe.
Bridge Induction zone
The Bridge Induction zones can be linked together. This creates one large zone that can be used,
for example, for a large fish pan or various pans at the same power.
• Pan position recognition is activated automatically after the appliance is switched on. When a
pan is placed on the hob, the pan recognition function recognizes its position and automatically
bridges the cooking zones depending on the size of the pan (only if the hob was already switched
on).
• If the Bridge Induction zones are linked, they cannot be set to boost and, the menu functions
cannot be used.
• Use a fish pan or other pan covering at least one of the Bridge Induction zones in the middle.
35

Environmental aspects
Safety
If the safety instructions and warnings are not followed, the
manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage.
• This appliance should only be connected by a registered installer.
• Check the appliance for transport damage. Do not connect a
damaged appliance.
• The walls and the worktop surrounding the appliance must be
heat resistant up to at least 105 °C.
• The worktop into which the hob is fitted should be flat.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not
applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the
room).
• Extraction hoods and other appliances that extract cooking
vapours can affect the safe operation of appliances that burn gas
or other fuel (including those in other rooms) by backflowing
combustion gases. These gases can potentially lead to carbon
monoxide poisoning. After installing an extraction hood or other
vapour extractor, the operation of appliances with flue gas
extraction must be tested by a competent person to ensure that
the combustion gases do not flow back.
• Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
fulfilled.
Electrical connection
• This appliance must be earthed.
• The electrical connection must comply with national and local
regulations.
• Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions
(voltage and frequency) and the adjustment of the appliance are
compatible.
• The voltage, frequency, power and the country for which the
appliance has been designed are shown on the appliance rating
plate.
59
Installation
• For class I appliances, check that your home’s electrical system
provides proper earthing.
• The wall plug socket and plug should always be accessible.
• If a stationary appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a
plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains
having a contact separation in all poles that provide full
disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the
means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring
in accordance with the wiring rules. This is also applicable for
appliances with a supply cord and plug when the plug is not
accessible after installing the appliance. Using an omnipolar
switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm fitted in the fixed
wiring will fulfil this requirement.
For AU/NZS: Means providing full disconnection under
overvoltage category III conditions must be incorporated in the
fixed wiring in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
• The supply cord must hang freely and should not be fed through
a drawer.
• Use an approved cable with the correct cable diameters
appropriate for the connection. The cable casing should be able
to withstand at least 70 °C and therefore preferably be of type
H05V2V2 or H07V2V2.
• Before connecting the appliance, make sure the voltage indicated
on the rating plate conforms to the voltage in your power mains.
• The connection should be adjusted to the current and fuses.
• The appliance should not be connected to the mains via a
multi-plug adapter or extension cable, as the safe use of the
equipment cannot be guaranteed.
• After installation, the parts carrying electrical current and insulated
parts shall be protected against contact.
WARNING!
Failure to use screws or fasteners for installation as described in
the installation instructions may result in electric shock.
60

Installation
Installing the appliance
The appliance may only be installed into a temperature- and water-resistant countertop, such as a
countertop made of (natural) stone (marble, granite), or solid wood (the edges along the cut-out
have to be sealed). When installing into a countertop made of ceramics, wood, or glass, a wooden
sub-frame should be used. The frame is not supplied with the appliance. The appliance may only
be installed into a countertop made of other materials after you have consulted the countertop
manufacturer and obtained his express approval. Internal dimension of the basic unit should be at
least equal to the internal cutout for the appliance. This will allow simple removal of the appliance
from the countertop. Attach sealing tape along the perimeter of the bottom of the glass panel.
Install the appliance (see ‘Installation’) and connect the appliance to the mains power supply (see
instructions for connecting the appliance). Test the operation of the appliance before applying the
seal. Seal the groove between the appliance and the kitchen worktop with a silicone sealant.
The silicone sealant used to seal the appliance must be temperature-resistant (to at least 160 °C).
Smooth out the silicone sealant using suitable tools. Observe the instructions for use of the selected
silicone sealant. Do not switch on the appliance until the silicone sealant has dried completely.

NOTE!
Pay particular attention to built-in dimensions with (natural) stone countertops. When choosing
the silicone sealant, observe the countertop material and consult the countertop manufacturer.
Use of inappropriate silicone sealants can result in permanent discolouration of some parts.
