Installation advice - cabinetry
Dealing with sides, cross-rails & back-panels in cabinetry
Depending on the cabinets, the worktop thickness & the hob positioning, it is possible for
the hob base and/or the clamp brackets to interfere with parts of the cabinet. These
can be dealt with as follows;
Cabinet sides
If the hob is to be installed across the top of two cabinet housing units, then the base
of the hob may interfere with the sides of these units. It will be necessary to cut
away the top of the unit sides locally to clear the hob and/or the clamp brackets.
Cross-rails
1. Interference with hob base
If there are any cross-rails which obstruct the hob base by running across the
worktop cutout, they can simply be removed or locally cut-away to allow the hob
to be installed, depending on the particular installation. Any modifications must
ensure that the strength of the cabinet is maintained.
2. Interference with clamp brackets
If there are any cross-rails which prevent the clamps from being positioned on
the front or rear edges of the hob, then they can be removed or locally cut-away
around the brackets to allow the brackets to be installed. Any modifications
must ensure that the strength of the cabinet is maintained.
Back-panel
If the cabinet has a back-panel which prevents the clamps from being positioned on
the rear edge of the hob, then this panel can be completely removed or locally cut-
away to allow the brackets to be installed.
Stone (Granite or equivalent) worktops
Depending on the type of worktop being used, there may or may not be any back-
ing material to screw the clamp screws into.
1. If the worktop is a composite type (backed with MDF or similar) there may be
enough backing to screw directly into. This will depend on the worktop thick-
ness and backing thickness and will have to be assessed at the installation. In
this case, install the hob as for a standard worktop.
2. If there is insufficient backing material to screw into, or if the worktop is complete-
ly solid in construction, then it will be necessary to glue a strip of wood, MDF,
fibreboard or similar to the underside of the worktop, along the front and rear
edges of the cutout. Use a strong, proprietary adhesive to bond these strips and
allow to cure before attempting to clamp the hob into position.
Connect to the electricity supply
We recommend that the hob is installed by a competent person who is a member of
a “Competent Person Scheme” & who will comply with I.E.E. & locall regulations.
The supply must be: 220 - 240V ~ 50Hz.
Connection must be made using a
double pole cooker control unit
of
30
ampere
minimum capacity, with 3mm minimum contact separation at all poles.
Connection should be made using a cable suitable for the max. load of the hob (see
opposite). The hob MUST earthed.
If the switch is directly behind the hob, it should be at least 460mm above it and the
supply cable must be protected from the heat.
Make sure the supply is switched off before connection is made.
Warning:
This electric hob must be earthed.
