5 / ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
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 contact
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
silicone 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.
