12.3 Intermediate floor
If the underside of the hob can be touched, an interme-
diate floor must be fitted.
12.4 Preparing the units
The worktop must be level, horizontal and stable.
¡ The fitted units, including wall finishing strips, must
be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C.
¡ Niche cladding within 50 mm of the back wall must
not be combustible (e.g. tiles, stone).
12.5 Electrical connection
To protect the appliance, do not remove it from the
polystyrene trays until you press the appliance into the
cut-out. Never lay the appliance down flat on its side.
¡ Check the household wiring before connecting the
appliance.
¡ The appliance fulfils the requirements of protection
class I and must only be operated in conjunction
with an earth conductor.
¡ In the permanent electrical installation, a partition
must be provided in the phases in accordance with
the installation regulations.
¡ If
appears on the appliance's display, it has
not been connected correctly. Disconnect the appli-
ance from the mains and check the connection.
Connecting with a 3-wire cable
Ensure that there is sufficient fuse protection for the
household wiring.
Observe the colour coding of the power cable.
¡ The protective conductor is green/yellow .
¡ The neutral conductor is blue.
¡ The phase (external conductor) is brown.
¡ If required, the cable must be replaced with a multi-
phase power cable. When replacing the cable, ob-
serve the following paragraph.
Connecting without a pre-installed cable
Only connect the hob in accordance with the connec-
tion diagram.
¡ If required, install the enclosed copper bridges.
¡ The power cable must correspond to type H05 VV-F
or a higher rating.
¡ If you use your own intermediate floor, the minimum
distance to the mains connection of the appliance
must be 10 mm.
¡ Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant.
This prevents the worktop from swelling as a result
of moisture.
¡ Use the current load to determine which wire cross-
section you require. A cross-section of < 1.5 mm² is
not permitted.
Connecting with a pre-installed 5-wire power
cable
The power cable must only be replaced by trained cus-
tomer service personnel.
12.6 Installing the hob
Do not trap the power cable and do not route it over
sharp edges.
¡ If the oven is a built-under type, route the cable
along the rear corners of the oven to the mains
socket.
¡ The hob can also be installed in an existing cut-out
that has a depth of 500 mm.
¡ It must protrude by the same distance at the front
and the rear.
