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 installed a
minimum of 50mm from any back
wall and a minimum of 55mm away
from any adjacent vertical surfaces,
e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This
may be reduced to 50mm if the
adjacent surface is resistant to fire
(tiles or steel for example). These
dimensions are shown in Fig.8 on
page 24.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed
to allow air to flow freely to the air
intake and from the air outlet. An
air gap of 25mm is recommended
immediately below the hob.
Failure to allow sufficient ventilation
could cause problems with
operation or damage to the hob
and constitutes incorrect installation,
which is not covered by the
product’s warranty (Figs. 4 and 5).
