Installation instructions
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards used in his home country.
Fitting - installing:
Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm 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 worktop 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.
The mural rods at the edge must be heat-resistant.
Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to
applying the foam joint strip supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting
furniture. This gasket helps to guarantee a good seal when used in conjunction with smooth
work top surfaces. Further to this each zone and the control panel should be sealed in position
with a silicone sealent. We recommend using one which either matches the work surface or
hob glass ot provide the best finish.
When sealing the hob sections into the cutout with silicone, please cafefully place some weight
on the top of each zone including the control panel while the silicone sets (for example a pan
filled with cold water). This will help to ensure the hob seals and fixes into the correct position.
NOTE: although you are sealing the hob with silicone, the foam joint strip supplied with the
hob must also be used.
Do not install the hob onto the top of a non ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
Ensure there is a space of 20 mm beneth the hob casing to allow for good air circulation
around the electronic devices.
If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid putting flammable objects (for example: sprays)
and any other non heat-resistant objects into 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 any instructions a minimum distance
of 760 mm should be used.
After installation the connection cable should not be subjected to any mechanical constraint,
for example 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.
NOTE : Please refer to the worktop manufacturer for the minimum spacing required between
each zone cut out to maintain the required supporting strength.
If any of the above is unclear, please contact Caple Service for advice on the installaiton before
begining the proceedure.
