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. The gasket supplied with the appliance also allows to maintain in position the appliance, it is not necessary to use another fixation system. His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Fitting - installing:

• The cut out sizes are: Reference Cut-size EKC601-5BZ 560 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 °C.

• 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. Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet26 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• 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 instalation

• 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 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 even. Caution! This appliance has only to be connected to a network 230 V~ 50/60 Hz Always connect 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. ( * ) calculated with the simultaneous factor following standard EN 60 335-2-6 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 terminate “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 terminate “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L1 to the terminals 1 and the Phase L2 to the terminal 2. Caution! Frequent loosening and screwing of the screws on the connection box risks damaging the efficiency of the tightness once screwed. It is therefore advisable to keep screwing and unscrewing to a minimum. Ensure that the cables are correctly inserted and tightly screwed down. We cannot be held responsible for any accident 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 Mains Connection Cable diameter
