SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for
deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in close
proximity to the cooking areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. Turn off the burners.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and
rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

Electrical Connection
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
Electrical connection
• the limiter switch and the domestic system can
withstand the load from the appliance (see rating
plate).
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to
standards and laws in force.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the
supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate
(situated under the hob). Make sure that the local supply
voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate.
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible
when the appliance is installed.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity
supply
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug
suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto a
cable and connect to a suitable socket.
Green & Yellow
Blue
Brown
- Earth
- Neutral
- Live
To connect direct to the mains supply, a double pole switch
with a contact separation of at least 3mm suitable for the
load and complying with current standards and regulations
must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply
outlet.
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals
in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or
or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured
Red or Brown.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured
Black or Blue.
The green-yellow earth wire must not be interrupted by the
switch.
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it
reaches a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.
For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the
oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply,
both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of the oven
for repair, maintenance etc.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-
PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE
MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause overheating or
burning.
Replacing the cable
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a suitable
cross section 3 x 0.75 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than
the other wires.
