WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
SITING THE HOB
All Creda hobs are suitable for installation over any Creda Build-in or Build-Under Ovens.
Your
hob should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your voltage supply.
This is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the under side of the base panel. The
appliance must be connected by a contractor/engineer such as one who is registered with the
National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC). A suitable double-pole
control unit with a minimum rating of 30A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be
used. This should be fitted adjacent to the cooker in accordance with the latest IEE regulations.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven, a 45 amp Double Pole control switch should be used to
feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 2.5mm

.Where a hob
unit is fitted above the oven unit we recommend that 85
0
C high temperature PVC with insulated
3 core flexible cord to BS6141 table 15,with a conductor size of 2.5mm
2
is used to connect the hob
to the control unit.The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.This
appliance conforms to B.S.EN55014 regarding suppression of radio and television interference.
The hob should be connected to the supply in such a way that it can easily be isolated for cleaning
and servicing. The control unit should be positioned to the side of the hob and be readily
accessible in case of an emergency.
If the hob is installed above an oven unit, the installer should also refer to the oven installation
instructions in case any other mains cable is recommended for the hob.
Place the hob face down taking care not to damage the controls or hob surface. Access to the
mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover.The mains cable must pass through
the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should be used to allow the hob
to be pulled out for servicing. Replace the screws and tighten.
Always check that the cable does not come into contact with the hob base. This can be achieved
by routing the hob cable and securing it either to the cabinet side or rear wall in such a way that
it cannot touch any part of the base. Always ensure that the cable between the hob and main
switch is free from twists or kinks throughout its length.
The hob is designed to fit into worktop and base unit(s) with a cut-out as shown in Fig.1. Any
obstruction such as supports or side panels must be removed to allow 50mm minimum depth
below the worktop cut-out. Any overhead surface of combustible material must not be closer
than 650mm. Adjacent side vertical walls or kitchen furniture must not be closer than 20mm to
the edge of the cut-out.Walls or other kitchen furniture closer than 100mm to the aperture edge
should be protected by heat resistant materials (e.g. ceramic tiles). Surfaces to be avoided in close
are bare or painted wood, plastic tiles and other wall covering likely to burn or stain. If a cooker
hood is to be installed refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding fixing heights.
It is recommended that a shelf is fitted to the cabinet under the hob, but no closer than 30mm to
prevent access to the underside of the hob which will become hot when in use.
Note:
Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with
this product.The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.
