Fitting the hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose, drop or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be, when installed, a minimum of 50mm from
any back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent
vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be
reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or
steel for example). These dimensions are shown in Fig.8 below.
If a splashback/worktop upstand is to be fitted, take this into account
when cutting the hole. The minimum distance that the hob should be
positioned away from the rear wall or splashback, when installed, is
50mm.
