VENTILATION
The electronics in the hob need to cool. The hob will automatically switch off if there is insufficient air circulation and the hob will
overheat. There are ventilation openings on the underside of the appliance. It must be possible for cool air to be drawn in through
these openings. There are outlet openings to the front of the appliance.
Ventilation occurs through the plinth and the back of the cupboard. Saw out the ventilation openings (min. 100cm
2
). Air supply
through the plinth is superflous if, together with an opening at the back of the cupboard, there’s an opening somewhere else through
which air can be drawn in.
Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation.
• Make a ventilation opening to the front of the kitchen unit at least the width of the hob and to a minimum height of 5 mm if the hob
is built-in above a drawer or plank.
• Ensure there is a minimum height of 10 mm between the oven, the drawer or separator and the hob.
Metal objects can become hot because of the ventilation. If this occurs, we advise to use a separator. This can be a wooden panel.

Attention:
when fitting the hob above an oven the thickness of the worktop must be at least 35 mm and above a drawer the
thickness of the worktop must be at least 20 mm.
• Ensure the crossbar does not impede the airflow. Plane or saw the crossbar [
