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
50mm 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 300mm.
• 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 suffocation.
6. Installation
Ventilation
• The induction hob is fitted with a fan that
switches ON and OFF automatically. The
fan starts slowly when the electronic system
temperatures exceed a specific limit. When
the induction hob is used intensively, the
fan will switch to a greater velocity. Once
the electronic system has cooled down
sufficiently, the fan will reduce its velocity
and switch OFF again automatically.
• Clearance between the induction hob and
kitchen furniture or built-in units must provide
for sufficient ventilation of the induction hob.
• If the power level of a cooking zone is
automatically raised or lowered (see section
on thermal cut-off device) it is likely that the
cooling system does not cool sufficiently. In
this case we recommend that the back wall
of the bottom kitchen unit in the area of the
worktop cut-out be opened and that the
front transverse strip of the unit be removed
over the entire width of the appliance in
order to promote the circulation of air.
In order to better ventilate the hob, an air
gap of 5mm should be left at the front.
5 mm air gaps (minimum)
(please follow instructions)
