Lock the domestic appliance into place with 4 clips, screwing at the sides (image 4). If the lower part of the appliance after installation, is accessible via the lower part of the furniture, it is necessary to mount a separating panel keeping in mind the distances indicated (image 3).
- Do not install refrigerators, dishwashers, non-ventilated ovens or washing machines under the appliance.
- The built-in kitchen units must withstand temperatures of up to 90^ .
- A gap of at least 90mm must be allowed between the hob and the side wall, where applicable.
- It is not recommended that the hob be placed between two side walls but, if this is the case, a gap of at least 200mm should be left on one side and a gap of 90mm on the other.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (image 5)
-
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
-
The system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop.
- The system is fitted with efficient ground wires in accordance with the laws and current standards. Grounding is mandatory by law.
- The connection to the mains should be done with the appropriate cable and from a specialized technician.

If necessary, fit the cooper bridges supplied.
-
Power cord: Type H05 VV-F or higher, determinate the required wire cross-section depending on the current rating.
- A cross-section of < 1,5mm^2 is not permissible.
- If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum 3mm opening between the contacts and appropriate for the load indicated on the plate and in accordance with current standards (the yellow/green ground conductor must not be disconnected by a switch). When the appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be easily reachable.
OPERATION
1. COOKWARE
The use of flat-bottomed pots, with a diameter equal to or slightly bigger than the heated area, is recommended. (image 7). Do not use pots that have a rough base, in order to prevent the hob thermal surface from being scratched.

Set the power with the control knobs, rotating them clockwise or counterclockwise, knowing that the highest level corresponds to maximum power.
The indicator lights up when at least one element is operational.
The residual heat indication lamp, of each cooking zone, turns on when the respective zone's temperature is greater than 50^ .
3. HEAT SETTINGS
