THE CONSTRUCTOR COMPANY DECLINES

FROM ANY RESPONSABILITY IN CASE OF

DEMAGES CAUSED BY AN INSTALLATION NOT

IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT

REGULATIONS AND WITHOUT RESPECTING

THE ACCIDENT PREVENTION RULES.

Electrical connection

The appliance is set up for a single-phase 230V feeling

voltage. The connection has to be carried out in compliance

with the current directives and law dispositions.

Before connecting the hob make sure that:

• The shaping valve and the electrical system can stand the

appliance load (see the serial number indicated on the rating

plate);

• The feed system of the appliance has a proper earth

connection, according the laws in force;

• The tap or the single-pole circuit breaker are easy to be

reached from the installed appliance.

Mount on the cable a suitable tap for the load and connect it to

a proper safety tap.

If a straight connection to the electricity is desired, it is

necessary to put a single-pole, with a minimum opening of

3mm dimensioned to the load and in compliance with the

current directives, between the appliance and the network.

The brown phase wire (coming out from the L terminal on the

terminal board) must be always connected to the phase of the

feeding network.

In any case the feeding wire has to be positioned so that it

cannot reach, anywhere in its length, a temperature higher

than 50°C.

An example of optimal current path is indicated on Fig. 3. The

wire is guided by the employment of clamps fixed on the side

of the furniture, in order to avoid any contact with the appliance

under the hob

Replacing the electrical power

cable

If necessary the electrical power must be replaced

exclusively with power cables type H05V2V2-F T90

suitable for the load and temperature rating.

It is also important that the earth wire (Yellow/Green)

must be at least 2 cm longer than the other phase

neutral (Figure 4-5).

The replacement of the cable has to be done by

qualified personnel only, in order to prevent any kind of

risks.

Positioning and connection

Cookers can be mounted on a furniture with a recess opening with dimensions shown in Figure 6.

The recess opening has to space at least 50 mm. From the back side. The eventual right or left side, if higher than the

hob, has to space at least is 100 mm. from the cut on the top.

The fixing of the hob to the top has to be done as follows:

Position the suitable dope, not issued, on the front, back and side edges of the worktop’s opening (as shown in

Figure 6).

Lean the hob on the opening of the furniture paying attention to centre it.

Fix the hob to the cabinet using the provided brackets (see Figure 8). The traction of the screws is enough to trace

the dope, whose excess could easily therefore be removed.
