Preparing the worktop
 Create the worktop cut-out as shown
in the hob diagram. Remember to
maintain the minimum safety dis-
tances (see “Installation – Safety dis-
tances”).
 Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish, silic-
one sealant or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture ingress. The sealant must
be heat-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures
that the hob will sit securely in the cut-
out without slipping. Any gap between
the appliance frame and worktop will
become smaller over time.
Installing the hob
 Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the hob.

Feed the power cable for the hob
down through the worktop cut-out.

Place the hob loosely in the cut-out.
When doing this, make sure that the
seal of the appliance sits flush with
the worktop on all sides. This is im-
portant to ensure an effective seal all
round.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
worktop in the corners, the corner ra-
dius (
≤
R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
 Connect the hob to the electricity
supply.
 Connect the hob to the gas supply
(see “Installation – Gas connection”).
