Assembly instructions
Note
The KÜPPERSBUSCH hob may only be built-in in accord-
ance to the instructions included in this manual. In case of a
failure to observe these instructions, KÜPPERSBUSCH shall
decline any liability and the approved marks of conformity
become invalid!
Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furni-
ture must be temperature resistant (>75°C). If the veneers and
surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can become
deformed.
• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when
installing the hob.
• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob
which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as mini-
mum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams
are maintained.
• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to
be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.
• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety dis-
tance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface of
the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant material.
Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be
at least 300 mm.
• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must
be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instruc-
tions for the cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.)
must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are poten-
tially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a
danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.
• The hob may only be used once it has been properly installed.
Installation
Important
• If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side
panels, drawers, etc.), then an intermediate shelf must be
inserted at a minimum distance of 20 mm in order to prevent
accidental contact with the underside of the cooking surface.
The intermediate shelf may only be removed with tools.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects
which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure
to heat are placed directly next to or above the hob.
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with
the hob.
• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the
worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into con-
tact with any electrical appliances.
• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a
ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to
be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made
with plastic sealing materials (putty).
•
The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with sili-
cone sealant!
This would make it impossible to remove the
hob at a later date without damaging it.
Working surface cut-out
Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw
blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be
sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated.
The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any
distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel.
Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.
