[. . . ] This appliance must be used for the purpose for which it was expressly designed. Any other use (for example: heating rooms) is considered to be improper and consequently dangerous. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from improper and irresponsible use. €¢ A number of fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. [. . . ] Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the characteristics of the hob and compromise its performance. Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter adheres fully to the worktop. Installation • • • This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting out the corresponding slot. The worktop must be made with a material designed to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C. The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away from the back wall or any other vertical surface in order to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent the surfaces around the appliance from overheating. If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the latter must be fitted with a cooling fan. Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating element between the two appliances. €¢ • REAR SPRING ASSEMBLY FRONT OF HOB KITCHEN WORKTOP 30 590 574 48 52 0 48 50 4 56 0+ /- 1 49 0+ /- 1 56 0+ /- 1 49 0+ /- 1 HOB FROM BELOW 690 48 520 10 56 0+ /- 1 49 0+ /- 1 Distance to keep between the cut-out slot and the cabinet 785 48 510 75 0+ /- 1 49 0+ /- 1 13 40 Technical characteristics Electrical connection • The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical safety.

[. . . ] €¢ Also remember to always rinse with clean water and to dry the hob thoroughly: product residuals could form crusts the next time you cook. €¢ Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, so as to guarantee the use of all the available heat. €¢ • • Make sure that the bottoms of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself. The heat concentration on gas burners may deform the bottom of the pot; therefore, this will not allow you to obtain the desired result when used on a glass ceramic hob. [. . . ]
