1 Safety Instructions for the Installer
• A device must be provided in the electrical installation which allows
the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a
contact opening width of at least 3 mm.
Suitable isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses
(screw type fuses are to be removed from the holder), earth leakage
trips and contactors.
• In respect of fire protection, this appliance corresponds to type Y
(EN 60 335-2-6). Only this type of appliance may be installed with a
high cupboard or wall on one side.
• Drawers may not be fitted underneath the hob.
• The installation must guarantee shock protection.
• The kitchen unit in which the appliance is fitted must satisfy the sta-
bility requirements of DIN 68930.
• For protection against moisture, all cut surfaces are to be sealed
with a suitable sealant.
• On tiled work surfaces, the joints in the area where the hob sits must
be completely filled with grout.
• On natural, artificial stone, or ceramic tops, the snap action springs
must be bonded in place with a suitable artificial resin or mixed ad-
hesive.
• Ensure that the seal is correctly seated in the frame and that it is
seated against the work surface without leaving any gaps. Addi-
tional silicon sealant must not be applied; this will make removal
more difficult when servicing.
• The hob must be pressed out from below when removed.
• Clean the work surface in the area of the cut-out.
• Four sealing tapes which are self-adhesive on one side are supplied
with the appliance. Stick these on underneath the cooking surface
along the outer edge of the ceramic glass hob top. Do not stretch
them. The ends of the sealing tapes must overlap.
