INSTALLATION

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
2
. 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 cutout as shown in Fig.1. Any
obstruction such as supports or side panels must be removed to allow 30mm minimum
depth below the worktop cutout. Any overhead surface of combustible material must not be
closer than 600mm. Adjacent side vertical walls or kitchen furniture must not be closer than
50mm to the edge of the cutout. 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.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, should be protected by heat resistant
material. If a cooker hood is to be installed refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
regarding fixing heights.
NB Do not over tighten the hob clamps as distortion of the hob may occur.
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.
