Instructions for

the installation technician

Before connecting up the appliance to the

function with the type of gas that is indicated on

the specifications plate.

It is of the utmost importance that the place

in which the appliance is installed has suitable

ventilation in accordance with regulations

so that the combustion gases are piped outside.

Check the dimensions of the cooking hob

as well as the dimensions of the hole to be cut

in the kitchen unit.

The panels located above the work surface,

right next to the cooking hob, must be made of

non-inflammable material. Both the stratified

surfacing and the glue used to secure it should

be heat resistant, to prevent deterioration.

No electrical cables should come into contact

with hot areas.

The power cable must be secured to the

furniture module to prevent it from touching any

hot parts of the oven or the cooking hob.

All appliances containing any electrical

components must be earthed.

Handle the appliance with care during the

entire installation process. Do not hit the

appliance against anything.

IN THE EVENT THAT THIS ADVICE IS

NOT FOLLOWED, THE INSTALLATION

TECHNICIAN WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

ANY DAMAGE CAUSED, AND THE

MANUFACTURER WILL BE EXEMPT FROM

ALL RESPONSIBILITY.

Installing the cooking hob

Fitting measurements

1 - Minimum distances (mm). Cut an aperture

of the necessary dimensions in the work surface.

Fig. 1.

In the event that no oven is to be installed

beneath the cooking hob, we recommend fitting

a separator which will block off access to the

underside of the cooking surface.

All gas

If the cooking hob is to be installed above

an oven, check that the oven is fitted with power

ventilation, and check the dimensions according

to the assembly manual.

Place the cooking hob in the insertion

aperture cut into the furniture module.

2 - The wood fibres that have been used to

make the cooking hob modules tend to swell

quite quickly when they come into contact with

moisture. We therefore recommend that the cut

edges are treated with a special glue to protect

them from steam or any condensation that might

drip down beneath the work surface of the

Depending on the model, the clips and the

watertight seal (underside of the cooking hob)

may already be fitted; if this is the case, do not

under any circumstance remove them. The seal

ensures that the entire work surface will be

watertight, and prevents water seepage. The

seal is to be placed on the edge of the interior

housing and should protrude approximately

3 mm.

If this item has not been fitted in the factory,

remove the pan supports and the gas burners

covers and diffusers from your cooking hob,

and turn it upside down. Now fit the adhesive

seal supplied with the appliance onto the lower

edge of the cooking hob (see Fig. 2a), remove

the staples from the attached accessories bag

and secure them into the lateral orifices that are

provided for this purpose. Fig. 2b or 2c.

3 - Press down all around the edges so that

the cooking hob is supported along its entire

perimeter (Fig. 3).

If you should need to dismantle the

appliance, simply push it upwards from

underneath (with staple type 2b).

in Fig. 2c, you will have to lever it up with a

screwdriver to dismantle it. Fig. 2d.

comes with a

With this option, you must prevent the pipe from

coming into contact with moving parts of the

insertion unit (for example, a drawer) or access

to any spaces which might become obstructed.

If you need to connect the gas supply

horizontally, our technical services department

can supply you with an adaptor (code 173018)

and a seal (code 034308).

To be able to use this appliance in France, it is

necessary to carry out a direct connection to

the outlet of the manifold with the seal 034308.

Fig. 4b. The position of the gas pipe, relative to

the hole in the kitchen unit where it is to be fitted

is shown in Fig. 1b.

Make sure that all the connections that

have been installed are airtight.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility

for leaks or for any connections installed by

the installation technician.

5 - The following must be checked on the

specifications plate: the voltage and the total

power. This appliance must be earthed.

Always make certain that all connections

that have been installed are in accordance with

national legal requirements. Observe all the

requirements of the local electrical supply

company.

In order to meet standard safety regulations,

the installation technician must provide an

omnipolar cut-off switch with a contact separation

of at least 3 mm. This is not necessary if the

connection is made via a plug, so long as the

user has access to it.

All appliances fitted with plugs should only

be connected up to sockets which have been

correctly earthed.

This appliance is type "Y", which means that

6 - To complete the installation, the burner

diffusers and covers must be fitted onto their

corresponding rings. In addition, the pan supports

must also be located in their correct places.

Fig. 5. Modular hobs may be combined with the

appliance using the joint accessory NEZ34VLA.

Fig. 1a. If a ceramic hob is to be combined with

the appliance, the correct joint accessory to use

is NEZ34VLB; these are available from our

technical service.
