Never glue, silicone or wedge the unit inside its cut-out.
The unit must be installed such that it can be pulled without difficulty out of the cut-out for
ser vicing or cleaning.
The unit must not be installed above a washing machine, a refrigerator or a deep-freezer box.
To eliminate the risk of bur ns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided.
Your cooktop must always breath adequately. Make sure that the air inlet and its exhaust are
not obstructed
