IMPORTANT:In order to prevent the electronic circuits from overheating, and therefore
from being damaged, we recommend the following:
• Do not install the hob 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 is installed beneath the hob, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system.
If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the maximum permitted temperature,
the hob 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.
INSTALLATION
• The hob must be set into a worktop between
20 mm and 50 mm deep
• There must be nothing between the hob 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 hob is to be installed next to a column
unit, leave a distance of at least 100 mm from
the edge of the hob.
• Make an opening in the worktop of the
