MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Switch-off the appliance before cleaning. Do not clean the hob if the glass is too hot because they are risk of burn.

• Remove light marks with a damp cloth with washing up liquid diluted in a little water. Then rinse with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.
• Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaning equipment likely to cause scratches must be absolutely avoided.
• Do not ever use any steam-cleaner or pressure washer.
• Do not use any object that may scratch the ceramic glass.
• Ensure that the pan is dry and clean. Ensure that there are no grains of dust on your ceramic hob or on the pan. Sliding rough saucepans will scratch the surface.
• Spillages of sugar, jam, jelly, etc. must be removed immediately. You will thus prevent the surface being damaged.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Advice for the installer IMPORTANT The installation and the maintenance come under the exclusive responsibility of specialists. The installer is held to respect the legislation and the safety standards enforce in his home country. Failure to respect these conditions results in loss of warranty. Installation How to stick the gasket: The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet. Its installation has to be done carefully, in conformity with the following drawing. Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3). Built-in:

Refer to the diagram below for cut out sizes from work plan. Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm minimum between the hob and the wall or sides. The work plan must have a minimum thickness of 30mm and must be heat resistant.

The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally during the built-in step, 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 appliance must stand higher than the hob.

The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob has 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 °C. The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting. Do not install the hob to the top of a non-ventilated oven or a dishwasher. If a drawer is below the hob, to guarantee a good air circulation and good cooling system of the appliance, maintain a gap of 20 mm minimum between the bottom of the drawer and the inferior part of the hob.

WARNING: 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. If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid putting into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects. The connection cord should be subjected, after built-in step, to no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer. Materials which are often used to make worktops can expand on contact with water. To protect the cut-out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant.

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. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which respects them scrupulously. Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after the building-in. The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the connection box. The connection to the main must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm. 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 oven. Caution! This appliance has only to be connected to a network 230 V~ 50/60 Hz. Connect always the earth wire. Respect the connection diagram. The connection box is located underneath at the back of the hob casing. To open the cover use a medium screwdriver. Place it in the slits and open the cover.

Mains Connection Cable diameter 230V~ 50/60Hz 1 Phase + N 3 x 2.5 mm² 400V~ 50/60Hz 2 Phases + N 4 x 1.5 mm² Cable H 05 VV - F H 05 RR - F H 05 VV - F H 05 RR - F Protection calibre 25 A * 16 A * calculated with the simultaneous factor following the standard EN 60 335-2-6 This device is pre-fitted with a 1.5m long cable of the 3 x 2.5mm² H05VV-F type. Connection of the hob Setting up the configurations: For the various kinds of connection, use the brass bridges which are in the box next the terminal Monophase 230V~1P+N Put a bridge between terminal 1 and 2. Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L to one of the terminals 1 or 2. Biphase 400V~2P+N Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L1 to the terminals 1 and the Phase L2 to the terminal 2. Caution! Be careful that the cables are correctly engaged and tightened. We cannot be held responsible for any incident resulting from incorrect connection or which could arise from the use of an appliance which has not been earthed or has been equipped with a faulty earth connection.
