The service manual when downloaded and printed out was clear and easy to read. The manual is complete with the schematic diagram and technical data. I occasionally require a manual and now having registered with this company I shall order from them in the future.

INSTALLATION
1 . Cut out worktop to prescribed measurements (fig.1) or templates (saw exactly along the scribing) and fasten the fixing springs in the cutout with the enclosed screws. Position the springs according to the enclosed template. The upper part of the ressort is the spacing stop. 2 . The working plate must be clean. Check seal for perfect fit and overall cover. Lower the ceramic hob into the cut-out. Press firmly on one side then on the opposite side to snap-in the unit (fig.2). A sealing is glued onto the frame so there is no need for further sealing material (important for the removal in case of a defect). The installation of the corresponding control box or oven will be carried out according to separate instuctions. In order to protect the appliance from damage only ovens or control boxes which are approved by the manufacturer must be connected to the ceramic hob. The installation of electrical appliances must be undertaken by qualified electricians only. Improper repairs can cause serious harm and danger for users. The protection against accidental contact must be ensured by proper installation. Attention: If installed in stone, ceramic tiles or lava worktops (fig.3), the fixing ressorts will not be fastened. Instead, silicone will be put under the cover frame. To avoid that silicone runs down between the glass ceramic hob and the worktop (fig.4 - pos.1) a sealing will be glued to the ceramic hob (fig.4 - pos.2). The sealing can be ordered free of charge under article no. 374 016102. The distance between the underside of the hob and the furniture beneath must be at least 60 mm (fig.5). Attention: � If there are any repairs to be effected, the appliance must be non-tensioned. � If any fissures or cracks appear on the hob's surface the hob has to be switched off immediately. Disconnect the appliance from the mains and inform the service department. In terms of fire protection, the appliance conforms to Type Y (IEC 335-2-6). Only appliances of this type may be installed on one side of adjacent upright furniture housings or walls. fig.5 Important for the removal of the hob 1. Disconnect the appliance from the mains. 2. In order to take out the whole glassceramic hob, use a medium flat screwdriver or spatula. Put it in between the frame and worktop on the area where the snapin ressorts are located. 3. Then slightly lift the unit out. Take care not to damage the worktop. fig.4 fig.1
