• Connection of the cooktop to the electrical power supply must only be performed
by a qualified electrician.
• A damaged cooktop can be dangerous. Before installing the cooktop, check for
visible damage. Do not operate a damaged appliance.
• The electrical safety of this cooktop can only be guaranteed if proper grounding
has been installed in compliance with applicable regulations. It is imperative that
this basic safety requirement be met. If in doubt, have the house wiring checked
by a qualified electrician.
• Before installation, make sure that the voltage and frequency on the cooktop's
data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. These ratings
must match to prevent damaging the cooktop. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
• Before installation, maintenance or repair work is performed, disconnect the
cooktop from the electrical power supply.

them to connect the cooktop to the electrical power supply.
• To ensure safe operation, use the cooktop only when it has been properly
installed.
• Do not under any circumstances open the cooktop housing. Any contact with
connections carrying voltage or changes to the electrical or mechanical set-up
will endanger you and may impair the functioning of the cooktop.

appliance. Defective components should only be replaced with original parts.
• Risk of electric shock! If the cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked or broken
in any way, immediately switch it off and do not continue to use it. Disconnect it
