Setup, Compatibility & Care
This appliance is designed for built-in installation. Before purchasing, ensure your countertop cutout meets the required 270mm by 490mm dimensions. Because the unit is hard-wired and requires a 2900W load, installation must be performed by a certified electrician to meet safety standards.
For daily care, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring powders on the glass surface. Instead, use a soft cloth and a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner to maintain the finish and prevent scratches. Always ensure the hob is cool to the touch before attempting to clean stubborn stains.
