Installation
INSTALLATION AND SETUP SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN IN LINE WITH CURRENT INSTALLATION STANDARDS.
Positioning the hob
To install these models, an opening with the dimensions shown in figure 2 will be cut into the unit's worktop.
The worktop fastening system is suitable for units 20, 30 and 40 mm thick.
The minimum distance between the surface supporting the cooking pans and the lower part of the kitchen unit or the hood located above the hob should be 650 mm. If the hood's installation instructions recommend that the gap is greater than this, you should follow this advice.
The unit where the hob and oven will be located will be suitably fixed.
INSTALLATION WITH CUTLERY DRAWER OR LOWER CABINET
In vitroceramic hobs, if you would like to have a cabinet or a cutlery drawer under the hob, it is necessary to put a separation board in between the two. The board should be situated 20 mm below the underside of the hob, leaving a free space of at least 20 mm until the end of the cabinet (figure 1).
This prevents accidental contact with the hot surface of the casing of the heating elements under the apparatus (figure 1).

Please do not store objects that can obstruct the fans or possibly flammable materials in the draw-
INSTALLATION WITH FAN OVEN UNDER THE HOB
The oven should be installed according to the corresponding manual.
An opening of 20 mm should be made in the back part of the cabinet in order to allow cold air to enter (see figure 1).

When hobs are handled before being installed, should be taken in case there is any protruding or sharp edge which could cause injury.

When installing units or applian ces above the the hob should be protected by a board so that glass cannot be damaged by accidental blows or y weights.

Fitting holes

The glues used in manufacturing the kitchen unit and in the adhesive on the decorative laminate of the worktop surface should be made to tolerate temperatures of up to 100°C.
⚠️ Küppersbusch assumes no responsibility for any malfunction or damage caused by faulty installation.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GUA RANTEE DOES NOT COVER THE GLASS IF IT SUFFERS A VIOLENT BLOW OR IF IT IS USED IMPROPERLY.
Fastering the hob
When the gap has been properly sized, the sealing washer should be put on the lower face of the glass. Silicone should not be applied between the glass and the unit worktop because if it becomes necessary to remove the hob from its position, the glass could break when trying to detach it.
To secure the hob to the cabinet, four brackets should be fastened to the existing hole son the bottom part of the casing (two in the front and two in the back). There are two possibilities of where the brackets may be placed, just as is shown in figure 3.

Depending on the thickness of the cabinet, it may be necessary to use the self tapping screws that are provided as compliments for securing; insert them in the circular holes of the bracket. The thread of this hole will be made when the screw is inserted inside of it. The thread should be made before fastening the bracket to the hob.
Flush installation

Connecting the electricity
The electric connection is made via an omnipolar switch or plug where accessible, which is suitable for the intensity to be tolerated and which has a minimum gap of 3 mm between its contacts, which will ensure disconnection in case of emergency or when cleaning the hob.
The connection should include correct earthing, in compliance with current norms.
If the flexible supply cable fitted to these appliances ever needs to be changed, it should be replaced by Küppersbusch's official service.
The input cable should not be in contact either with the body of the hob or with the body of the oven, if the oven is installed in the same unit.

Recommendation for the good use of vitroceramic hobs
* Use pots or pans with thick, completely flat bottoms.
* Pans with a smaller diameter than the shown heating area are not recommended.
* Do not slide pots and pans over the glass as they may scratch it.
* Although the glass can withstand knocks from large pots and pans without sharp edges, try not to knock it.

Try not to spill sugar or cts containing sugar on the while the surface is hot as could damage it.
Cleaning and maintenance
To keep the appliance in good condition, clean it using suitable products and implements once it has cooled down. This will make the job easier and avoid the build-up of dirt. Never use harsh cleaning products or tools that could scratch the surface, or steam-operated equipment.
Light dirt not stuck to the surface can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a gentle detergent or warm soapy water. However, for deeper stains or grease use a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates and follow the instructions on the bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to being burned repeatedly can be removed using a scraper with a blade. Slight tinges of colour are caused by pots and pans with dry grease residue underneath or due to grease between the glass and the pot during cooking. These can be removed using a nickel scourer with water or a special cleaner for ceramic hot plates. Plastic objects, sugar or food containing a lot of sugar that have melted onto the surface must be removed immediately using a scraper.
Metallic sheens are caused by dragging metal pots and pans over the glass. They can be removed by cleaning thoroughly using a special cleaner for ceramic glass hot plates, although you may need to repeat the cleaning process several times.

Warning:
Use the glass scraper carefully. The blade could cause injury!

If you use the scraper incorrectly, the blade could break and a fragment could get caught between the surrounding trim and the glass. If this happens, do not try to remove it using your hands, carefully use tweezers or a knife with a fine edge. (See fig. 3)


Only use the blade on the mic surface, avoiding the per casing coming into contact the glass because this could touch it.

Use blades in perfect dition. Immediately replace the e if it is damaged in any way.

After you have finished with craper, withdraw the blade and it. (See fig. 4)
