8 Instructions for assembly
8.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of
surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant
(at least 75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are
not sufficiently 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
installation 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
fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working
requirements, however, the distance should be at
least 300 mm.
• 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 suffocation.
8.2 Installation
Important information
• Remove any transverse strips underneath the
worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• 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 sufficiently ventilated.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no
combustible objects which could easily catch fire or
become deformed on exposure to heat are directly
next to or under the surface.
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.
Worktop 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.
