• To make the most of your new appliance, please read the user instructions carefully and keep them
handy for future consultation.
Before using the glass ceramic hob
Hob
• The Hob has to be set into a worktop between 20 – 50mm
deep.
• Do not place any material between the cooktop and oven
(cross beams, brackets, etc.)
• The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic
hob and the cupboard or separating panel must comply
with the sizes shown in figure “A”.
• If a column cabinetry unit has to be installed next to the
cooktop, leave a distance of at least 100mm from the edge
of the cooktop.
Cut out the hole in the work surface to the dimensions shown in
the enclosed description sheet.
Clean the work surface, then apply the gasket around the
underneath of the hob (unless it has already been installed).
Important
In order to prevent the electronic circuits overheating and becoming
damaged, we recommend the following:
• Do not install the hob near a dishwasher, or washing
machine as steam or moisture could damage the electronic
controls.
If an oven is installed beneath the cook top (from our range of
ovens), make sure it is equipped with a cooling system.
If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the maximum
permitted temperature, the hob will automatically switch off; if this
happens, wait a few minutes until the electronic circuits cool down,
at which point it will be possible to turn the hob on again.
• Turn the hob off after use.

Installation
A) If the work top is made of wood, use the appropriate brackets,
spring clips and screws provided.
• Position the 4 clips (A) around the cooktop frame, in the slots
provided. See Fig. 1.
• Measure the centre of the vertical sides of the cut-out as shown in
Fig. 2.
• Position the centre of the brackets (C) on the centre of the side
previously identified.
• The upper edge of the brackets must be flush with the work top
surface.
• Secure using the 4 screws (B) provided that should screw into the
pre-prepared holes.Insert the hob in the pre-prepared hole so
that the clips (A) lodge into the bracket holes provided (C Fig. 4
and 5).
B) If the work top is made of marble or other materials
(plastic, ceramic tile, stone etc.), the cooktop must be fitted
with code no. 4801 211 03229 brackets (to be ordered from the
Customer Care Department).

The electrical connection must be made before connecting the
appliance to the power supply. The apparatus must be installed by a
qualified electrician who is fully aware of current safety and installation
regulations. The installation must be carried out in compliance with
regulations of the local electricity company. Make sure that the voltage
shown on the rating plate is the same as the power supply voltage in
your home. Regulations require that the apparatus be earthed: use
conductors of the appropriate size only (including the earth conductor).
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for injury to persons or
animals and for damage to property resulting from failure to observe
the above regulations. For the electrical connection, use a H05 RR-F
cable as indicated in the table below:
Power supply voltage
Conductors Amount per measurement
230V ~ + 3 X2,5 mm
2
230-240V ~ + 3 X2,5 mm

(Australia only)
230V 3~ + 4 X 1,5 mm

The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply by
means of a multi-pin disconnecting switch with a minimum
contact gap of 3mm.
Warning: the power supply cable must be long enough to allow the
cooktop to be removed from the worktop and must be positioned so
as to avoid damage or overheating caused by contact with the base.
Connecting to the terminal board
Note: the yellow/green earth wire must be connected to the terminal
with the symbol and must be longer than the other cables.
• Remove approx. 70mm of cable sheath from the power supply cable
(B).
• Strip approx. 10mm of sheath from the wires. Then insert the
power supply cable into the cable clamp and connect the wires to
the terminal board as indicated in the connection diagram near the
terminal board itself.
• Secure the power supply cable (B) using the cable clamp.
• Close the terminal board with the cover (A), using the screws
provided.
• After completing the electrical connection, fit from the top and hook
it to the support springs as illustrated.
