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.

Hob installation
D Cut out the worktop with the cut--out size as stated. The toleranced sizes must not be exceeded.. Saw exactly at the marking line. Recommendation: Mark the cut--out with a steel needle.Cover-glue the line in order to avoid splintering of the coating when cutting. Clean the worktop in the cut--out section With tiled worktops the grooves within the contact area of the cooking area must completely be filled up with groove material. Then fasten the catch springs with screws in the cut--out at the marked position. The distortion of the springs serves as a stop on the worktop. With natural, artificial stone, or ceramic plates the springs can be glued in with special adhesive (synthetic resin, two--component adhesive, etc.) The cooking area is entered from the top into the cut--out section, centered and firmly pressed on until the springs will catch. Check the seal in the supporting frame for perfect seating and gapless support. Please do not apply further silicone sealing matter as this will complicate the removal of the hob if servicing is necessary.
