ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before you finish cooking.
The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
This appliance meets the Ecodesign requirements of European
Regulation n. 66/2014, in compliance with the European standard
EN 60350-2.

INSTALLATION
• The cooktop must be set into a worktop between 20 mm and 50 mm deep.
• There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).
• The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel must be at least 20 mm.
• If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit, leave a distance of at least 100 mm from the edge of the cooktop to the side of the column unit.
• For built-in dimensions and installation see the picture in this paragraph.
• A minimum distance must be maintained between the hob and the hood above it. Please refer to
min. 20 mm the user manual of the hood for more informations.
• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.
• Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come into contact with steam or moisture, which could damage them.
• If an oven is installed beneath the cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system. If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop will switch off automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the internal temperature of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.
• To remove the hob, use a screwdriver (not provided) to prise off the perimeter clips on the underside of the appliance.
PLACING THE HOB
After the electrical connection (see the chapter “Electrical connection”), position each fixing clips on the dedicated slots on the lateral sides of the hob as shown in the picture. Then push the hob inside the cut out and check that the glass is flat and parallel to the worktop. The fixing clips are designed for every type of worktop material (wood, marble, etc.).
