Conditions for building in the appliance
■
The installation space must have a volume of at least 20 m
3
and it must
be possible to ventilate the area by a window or a door opening out into
the fresh air.
■
The hob is built into a worktop opening, which must be cut in accordance
with the dimensions specified below.
■
The worktop must be installed horizontally and the opening must be cleanly
cut.
■
The distances of the opening to
the wall for the front, the back
and the side have to correspond
to the dimension drawing!
The distance to mounted
cupboards should be for
technical reasons at least
300 mm.
■
The clearances of the hob cut-
out at the front, the back and the
side have to correspond to the
dimension drawing! The front
and the back frame widths result
if the worktop is 600 mm deep.
If the worktop is deeper, the edge at the back will be wider.
■
The wall connection strip should be made of heat-resistant material and
must not be provided with sockets in the area around the hob. We
recommend using a support strip made of plastic and a covering strip made
of aluminium. The lateral part on the worktop must not be longer than
30 mm.
■
The wall above the wall connection strip in the area around the appliance
must be made of non-inflammable material. Wood, plastic, PVC foil etc. do
not meet this requirement.
■
In normal use adjacent furniture may be subjected to increased
temperatures. Such furniture must comply with the relevant legal and
technical requirements. The plastic finish or the veneer of built-in kitchen
furniture must have been produced using a heat-resistant adhesive
(100 °C).
■
No cross-bars may be in the area of the cut-out underneath. They have to
be reduced at least to the opening size of the worktop.
■
The properly installed device
must be protected with a
cover in such a way that it is
impossible to accidentally
come into contact with the
bottom side of the hob.
This cover must only be able
to be removed with the aid
of tools and must be
attached at a minimum distance of 20 mm from the bottom of the hob, so
that the power supply cable does not touch the bottom of the hob.
We recommend to seal the cut sections of the worktop for built-in sinks and
oven hobs with a water-repellent protection paint.
Each time the appliance is removed from the worktop, replace the seals.
In the case of ceramic-tiled worktops it is necessary to provide an additional
seal with the aid of a permanently elastic sealing compound. Such sealing
compound can be purchased as Küppersbusch spare part No. 53 55 69.
[
The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with silicone
sealant!
This would mean that it will be impossible to remove the hob at a later
date without damaging it.
Installation dimensions
When installing several hobs side by side please observe the minimum
distances between the worktop openings as shown in the drawings:
Installation of the glass ceramic hob
Using clips makes it easier and quicker for you to install these units. You can
carry out the complete installation work from above.
■
Be extremely careful when installing the glass ceramic cooking surface!
Do not place or drop any sharp or pointed tools (screwdrivers, etc.) on the
glass surface!
■
The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any distortion
may lead to fracture of the glass panel.
Making the worktop recess
– Make the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or
recessing machine in accordance with the dimensions in the illustrations.
– The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
