5.4 Gluing in the hob
Notes
In order to avoid damage to the worktop and the hob, it is necessary to glue the worktop/hob system with a per-
manent seal so that it is water-proof.
The parts to be glued together must be dry and free from grease.
To glue the hob, you require water-proof wash primer and heat and moisture-resistant silicone adhesive
(150°C).
Only glue the hob on its outer edges!
With stone worktops installation is to be flush, with heat-sensitive worktops (e.g. wood) the hob must project
about 1 mm.
Never place the hob with the glass ceramic surface unprotected on the worktop or the floor. Dirt (metal chips,
small pieces of stone etc.) can cause scratches in the surface of the glass ceramic hob. Please always place it on
cardboard or a wool rug.
Procedure
1.
Glue the sealing tape (1) onto the corner of the supporting edge of the worktop so that no silicone adhesive
can be pressed under the hob.
Attention! Only use the sealing tape that is supplied with the hob!
Should you use any other sealing there is no guarantee that the hob will not sink down after installation.
2.
Insert the hob without adhesive into the worktop opening and check the height. If necessary, place the shims
provided on the support edge for the hob at equal distances to adjust the height.
3.
Remove the hob again.
4.
Use the wash primer to pre-treat the outer edges of the hob and the side cut surfaces of the worktop where
they will be glued. Apply a thick coat of the primer with a brush on highly absorbent surfaces (e.g. chipboard).
With less absorbent surfaces (e.g. marble or granite) it is sufficient to apply the primer with a felt cloth. Important!
After application, the primer must be left for about 30 minutes.
5.
Now insert the hob and align.
6.
Finally, fill the gap between the hob and the worktop with silicone
adhesive (2).
7.
Smooth the joint with a spatula and low-surface-tension water.
Attention!
Use sealing tape! Silicone adhesive may not be pressed anywhere under the supporting surface, other-
wise it will no longer be possible to remove the hob at a later stage. No
liability will be assumed in the case of failure to observe
these instructions.
