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.

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 guarantees 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.
-

-
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 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.
