INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation of this cooktop is the exclusive responsibility of specialist installers with due
respect to all local legislation and standards.
.
How to apply the sealing strip:
The sealing strip supplied with the cooktop avoids infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
Installation has to be done carefully, as per the following drawing.
Fitting - installing:

The cut-out sizes are:
Model Cut-size
HIX604B1 560 x 490 mm
HIX906B1 750 x 490 mm

Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the cooktop and the wall or sides.

The cooktops are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the cooktop should be
installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units
or a wall at one side.
On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand
higher than the cooktop.

Any cabinetry that the cooktop is to be installed in, as well as furniture edges, the
laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.

The edge strips must be heat-resistant.Do not install the cooktop to the top of a non-
ventilated oven or a dishwasher.

Provide a space of 20 mm underneath the base of the cooktop casing to ensure a good
air circulation around the electronic controls.

Don't put any flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects into
any drawer underneath the appliance. .

To protect the cut-out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must
be given to applying the sealing strip supplied with the cooktop to prevent any leakage into
the supporting furniture. This strip guarantees a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth worktop surfaces.

The safety gap between the cooktop and the rangehood placed above must follow the
guidelines of the rangehood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions, ensure that
a minimum distance of 760 mm is kept.

Ensure that the connection cord is not subjected, after installation, to any mechanical
constraint or impact, for example from a drawer.

WARNING: Use only cooktop guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as
suitable or cooktop guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate
guards can cause accidents.
Stick the sealing strip (2) two millimeters
from the external edge of the glass, after
removing the protection sheet (3).
