7. Instructions for assembly
7.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fi tters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding
furniture must be temperature resistant (at least 75°C).
If the veneers and surfaces are not suffi ciently heat
resistant they may 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 minimum 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 instal-
lation diagram.
• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety
distance of at least 50 mm must be ensured. The
side surface of the tall cupboard should be fi tted 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 instructions for the cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails
etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these
parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be
swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting
causing suff ocation.
7.2 Installation
Important information
• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop
at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g.
from a baking oven without a cross fl ow cooling device.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis
operation is taking place in a built-in oven.
• When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it
is essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored
in the drawer since these could become bent on the
underside of the hob and prevent the drawer from
being opened and closed.
• If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there
must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside
of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is suffi ciently
ventilated.
• The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, free-
zers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
• To avoid danger of fi re, make sure that no combustible
objects which could easily catch fi re or become defor-
med on exposure to heat are directly next to or under
the surface.
Sealing of the hob
• Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit deli-
vered 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 applian-
ces.
• 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 remo-
ve 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 fl ush bearing. Any distortion may
lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sea-
ling of the hob is properly seated.
