• Unpack all the materials.
• The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved specialists. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for damage caused by installation or connecting errors.
• To be used, the appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an adapted and approved work surface.
• This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any other domestic, commercial or industrial use.
• Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
• Do not change or alter the appliance.
• The cooking plate cannot be used as freestanding or as working surface.
• The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
• Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
• The appliance cannot be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: as steam may cause damage.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of external timer or separate remote control system.

Using the appliance

• Switch the heating zones off after using.
• Keep an eye on the hob whilst cooking using grease or oils that may quickly ignite.
• Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
• Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot saucepan.

• Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to the engaged appliance.

• Do not place any metallic object on the hob except for pans or cooking utensils. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.

• Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This could become very hot and catch fire.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

Precautions not to damage the appliance

• Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage the ceramic glass.
• Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
• Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
• Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surface.
• Never place any hot container over the control panel.

• If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the content of the drawer and the underside of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is essential to guarantee correct ventilation.

• Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the vitroceramic hob. All cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.

Precautions in case of appliance failure

• If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off at the main electrical supply.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

The packaging material is ecological and can be recycled.

The worn appliances contain certain noble metals. Apply to the local government about the possibilities of recycling.

Don't dispose of your appliance with general household waste
Get in touch with the waste collection centre of your local council that control the recycling of household appliances.

The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.

The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.

His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:

The cut out sizes are:

Reference	Cut-size
ATH320S	280 x 490 mm

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 ~mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100^ .
• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 ~mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance minimum of 760~mm .
• The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.

• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical system should be entrusted only to a qualified electrician.

• Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after installation
• The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the connection box.
• The connection to the mains must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3mm .
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
• If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
• The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob or even.
