Installation
Create the countertop cut-out. Re-
member to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Installation" –
"Safety distances").
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
countertops with a special varnish,
silicone rubber, or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture. The sealant must be tem-
perature-resistant.
Ensure that the sealant does not get
on the top surface of the countertop.
Attach the sealing strip provided un-
derneath the edge of the cooktop.
Feed the cooktop's power cord down
through the countertop cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the countertop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an effec-
tive seal all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g., silicone) on the cooktop.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
countertop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤ R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Insert the plug housing at the end of
the power cord into the socket on the
range.
The plug housing and plug connector
are designed so that only one connec-
tion alignment is possible. Do not
force the electrical plug into the con-
nector. The grounding conductor wire
is integrated in the plug housing.
Check that the cooktop works.
