INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

is well ventilated. It is recommended to keep natural ventilation windows open or install a
mechanical ventilation device (exhaust fan or range hood). For prolonged intensive use of the
appliance, additional ventilation is required, for example opening windows or doors, or increasing
the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
• Install the built-in hob in a well ventilated room and keep it away from any combustible or
inflammable objects such as paper or oil.

shelves), it should be installed at least 15 cm (6”) from the side walls. The unit should be installed
with a distance of at least 15 cm away from surrounding combustible materials.
• Leave at least 25 mm (1”) gap between the underside of the cooking range and the countertop/
cabinet shelf board below.
