Installation Instructions for built-in
The following instructions are intended for the installer so
that the installation and maintenance procedures may be
followed in the most professional and expert manner
possible.
Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply before performing any maintenance or
regulation upkeep work.
Installation of Built-in Cooktops
The electric cooktops have type "X" protection against
overheating. Therefore, they can be installed next to cabinets
which are not higher than the cooktop itself. The following
precautions must be observed for proper installation:
a) If the cabinet(s) located next to the cooktop are higher
than the cooktop itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed
at least 110 mm from the edge cooktop;
b) Hoods must be installed in accordance with the
instructions contained in the installation manual for the
hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm from the
cooktop;
c) The cabinets installed next to the hood must be located
at a height of at least 420 mm from the top, (as shown
in Fig. A).

N.B: Use the clamps contained in the "accessory kit."
f) In the event the cooktop is not installed above a built-
in oven, a wood panel must be inserted as insulation.
This panel must be placed at least 20 mm from the
bottom of the cooktop itself.
Important: When installing the cooktop above a built-in
oven, the oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in
the case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a
space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back.

When installing the cooktop above a built-in oven without
