Installation instructions
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.
How to apply the gasket
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
The installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.
Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at
one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the
hob.
The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
Any mural edges rods must be heat-resistant.
Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to
applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting
furniture. This gasket ensures a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top
surfaces.
Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
Ensure there is a space of 20 mm under the bottom of the hob casing to ensure the correct
air circulation of the electronic device.
If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid putting flammable objects (for example:
sprays) or not heat-resistant objects in to this drawer.
The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In the absence of instructions a minimum distance of
760 mm must be used.
The connection cable should not be subjected after installation to any mechanical constraint,
for example that of a drawer.
WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or
indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob
guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from
the external edge of the glass, after
removing the protection sheet (3).
