BEFORE USING THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

• To make the most of your new appliance,

please read the user instructions carefully and

keep them handy for future consultation.

INSTALLATION

Cooktop

• The cooktop must be set into a worktop between 20

mm and 50 mm deep

• There must be nothing between the cooktop and the

oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).

• The distance between the lower face of the glass

ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel

must be at least 20 mm.

• If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit,

leave a distance of at least 100 mm from the edge of the

cooktop to the side of the column unit.

• Make an opening in the worktop, respecting the dimensions

indicated in the enclosed product description sheet.

• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already

been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.

Important

In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and

therefore from being damaged, we recommend the following:

• Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or

washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not

come into contact with steam or moisture, which could

damage them.

If an oven (from our range of ovens) is installed beneath the

cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.

If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the

maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop will switch off

automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the

internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable

level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.

• Switch the hob off after use.

This will prevent the build-up of dirt and make cleaning easier.
