INSTALLING
THE GLASS-CERAMIC HOB
WARNING!
The hob must be installed by qualified
personnel only.
The hob must be installed in proper man-
ner in strict conformity with the regulati-
ons of local electricity supplier and appli-
cable standards.
During the entire process of installation
the hob must be disconnected from mains.
The hob must be installed so as to ensu-
re protection against accidental contact
with the details under voltage.
The surface used for building in the hob,
must withstand 100°C.
In the event that a built-in oven or any ot-
her appliance, which becomes hot during
operation, are installed beneath the hob
and its control panel, it is required to en-
sure, that the temperature in close proxi-
mity to the control panel of the hob will not
exceed 60°C. Failure to comply with the
requirement may result in improper ope-
ration if the sensor control panel. To this
end it is required to provide 40 mm gap
between this appliance and the bottom of
the hob (see Figure 8). Failure to comply
with this requirement may adversely af-
fect operation of the control panel.
The gap between the bottom of the hob and
the shelf of the kitchen furniture, which is the
closest to the hob, must be at least 25 mm.
FASTENING TO THE COUNTERTOP
Cut out an opening with the dimensions,
as shown in Table below, in the countertop,
into which you are going to install the hob.
The countertop material te3nd to get wet
relatively fast. Therefore the edges of the
opening cut out in the countertop must be
protected with special glue or sealant to
protect it against the effects of condensed
vapor, which may appear on the reverse
side of the countertop.
Before proceeding with the installation of
the hob into the opening in the countertop
(see Figure 7), attach the adhesive sealing
tape
G
to the bottom edge of the hob. At-
tach the sealant evenly along the entire
perimeter of the hob. Avoid gaps and over-
laps.
Now install the hob into the opening in the
countertop. Alight it right in the center of
the opening. In so doing, hold the hob by
its bottom part. Then press the hob against
the countertop, so that the hos is steadily
supported by the countertop. It is recom-
mended to perform this operation with an
assistant to avoid displacements of the
sealing tape
G
.
If the sealing tape
G
is installed in correct
and proper manner, it will provide reliable
protection against spills of liquids. This is
especially relevant from the standpoint of
maintaining and cleaning the hob.
