3. Installation 

The electrical and mechanical installation must be 
performed by qualified personnel. 

The electrical appliance is designed to be built-in to a 2-6 cm 
thick worktop in the case of TOP installations; 2.5-6 cm in the 
case of FLUSH installations. 
The minimum clearance between the cooktop and wall must 
be at least 5 cm at the front, at least 4 cm on the side and at 
least 50 cm with respect to the wall units above. 

NB = The suggested clearances are indicative: when 
designing the spaces, follow the instructions of the 
kitchen manufacturer. 

  3.1 Electrical connection 

Fig. 3 

- Disconnect the device from the electrical network 
-The installation must be performed by professionally qualified 
personnel familiar with the applicable installation and safety 
standards. 
-The manufacturer declines any liability to people, animals or 
things in the case of failure to follow the guidelines provided in 
this chapter. 
-The power cable must be long enough to allow removal of the 
hob from the worktop 
-Make sure that the voltage on the rating plate on the bottom 
of the device corresponds to that of the house where it will be 
installed. 
 -Do not use extension cords. 
- Earthing is required by law 
- The earth power cable must be 2cm longer than the other 
cables 
- If the household appliance is not equipped with a power 
cable, use one with a minimum conductor diameter of 2.5 
mm2 for power up to 7200 Watt; for higher power levels, the 
diameter must be 4 mm2.  
- At no point along the length of the cable must it reach a 
temperature of 50° C above the room temperature. 
- The device is intended to be permanently connected to the 
electrical network, therefore, make the connection to the fixed 
network via a standard omnipolar switch, which assures the 
complete disconnection of the mains under category III over-
voltage conditions, and which is readily accessible after the 
installation. 

Caution!

 Before reconnecting the circuit to the mains power 

supply and checking its correct operation, always check that 
the network cable has been correctly assembled. 

Caution!

 The interconnection cable must be replaced by 

authorised customer service personnel or equally qualified 
person. 

Note :

 the product is equipped with a Power Limitator 

function, which allows a maximum power limit to be set 
The limit must be set at the time of the product's connection to 
the electrical network or when the electrical network itself is 
reconnected (within the following 2 minutes). 

For the Power 

Limitation setting sequence, see the Operation section of 
this manual. 

3.2 Mounting 

Before starting the installation: 

• 

After unpacking the product, check that it has not been 

damaged during transport and in the case of problems, 
contact your dealer or Customer Service, before 
proceeding with the installation.  

• 

Check that the product is the right size for the installation 
location. 

• 

Check for accessories inside the packaging (placed there 

for ease of transport) such as bags containing screws, 
the warranty card, etc.. Remove them and keep them 
safe. 

• 

Also check that there is a power socket near the 

installation area  

Preparing the cabinet for installation: 

-  The product cannot be installed above cooling appliances, 

dishwashers, heaters, ovens, washing machines and 
dryers. 

-   Cut the cabinet before inserting the hob and carefully 

remove shavings or sawdust. 

IMPORTANT:

 use a single component adhesive sealant 

(S)

, resistant against high temperatures up to 250°;

 prior to installation, the surfaces that need to be glued 
must be carefully cleaned, removing all substances that 
may compromise adhesion 

(e.g. release agents, preservatives, grease, oils, powders, 
old adhesive residue, etc.); 

the sealant must be evenly distributed along the entire 
perimeter of the frame;

 after gluing, leave to dry for approximately 24 hours.

CAUTION!

 Failure to install screws and fasteners in 

accordance with these instructions may result in electrical 
hazards. 

Note:

 to ensure the correct installation of the product, it is 

recommended to tape the pipes using an adhesive with the 
following characteristics: 
- soft elastic PVC film, with an acrylic-based adhesive 
- which complies with DIN EN 60454 regulations  
- flame retardant 
- excellent resistance against wear 
- resistant against temperature fluctuations 
- can be used in low temperatures
