BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOB
› The ceramic hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. Please never conduct
the installation by yourself.
› Check the work surface is square and level, and no structural parts interfere with the space
requirements.
› Ensure the work surface is made of a heat-resistant material.
› If the hob is installed above an oven, check the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
› The installation must comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations.
› Ensure a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring
rules and regulations.
› The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3mm air gap contact
separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this
variation of the requirements).
› The isolating switch must be easily accessible to the customer once the hob is installed.
› Consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
› Use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces.
AFTER INSTALLING THE HOB
› Ensure the power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
› Ensure there is an adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
› If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is
installed below the base of the hob.
› The isolating switch must be easily accessible by the customer.
BEFORE LOCATING THE FIXING BRACKETS
› The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging).
Do not apply force onto any controls protruding from the hob.
