 Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can 

become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

!

 The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional 

according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may 

cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

Fitting the appliance

Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree 

protection against overheating. The following precautions 

must be taken when installing the hob:

•  Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than 

the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the edge 

of the hob.

•  Hoods  must  be  installed  according  to  their  relative 

installation instruction manuals and at a minimum 

distance of 650 mm from the hob.

•  Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum 

height of 420 mm from the hob (see figure).

If the hob is installed beneath a wall 

cabinet, the latter must be situated 

at a minimum of 700 mm above the 

hob (see figure).

•  The  installation  cavity  should  have  the  dimensions 

indicated in the figure. Fastening hooks are provided, 

allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that are between 20 

and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened 

to the top, we recommend you use all the hooks provided.

 Use the hooks contained in the “accessory pack”.

•  Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden 

panel must be installed as insulation. This must be placed at 

a minimum distance of 20 mm from the lower part of the hob.

Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet 

must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it 

rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface 

with an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

Where a hob is installed above an oven without a forced 

ventilation cooling system, adequate ventilation must be 

provided inside the cabinet by means of air holes through 

which air can pass (see figure).

Electrical connection

The electric hobs are supplied without power supply 

cable since the cable must be sized according to the type 

of electrical connection used (see attached connection 

diagram). Follow these steps to connect the cable:

•  Open the terminal box by removing the screws “

” and 

opening the cover (see figure).

•  Connect the wires as shown in the diagram.

•  Fix the cable using the cable clamp “

”, replace the cover 

and fasten it using the screws “
