Flush-fit installation
Flush-fit installation is only possible in
natural stone (granite, marble), solid
wood and tiled worktops. Certain
models are suitable for building into
glass worktops – please see the
relevant label on the hob. When using
a worktop made from any other
material, please check first with the
worktop manufacturer that it is
suitable for installing a flush-fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Installation – Building-in
dimensions – flush fit”), so that the
hob is easily accessible from
underneath after installation and the
bottom half of the casing can be
removed for maintenance. If the
underside of the hob is not freely
accessible after installation, any
sealant used to plug the gaps around
the appliance must be removed to
enable the hob to be lifted out of the
cut-out should this be necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The hob is set directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops
The hob is secured inside the cut-out
with wooden battens. The battens must
be provided on site, and are not
supplied with the appliance.
Minimum plinth height
The minimum plinth height is 100 mm.
Housing unit back panel
The extraction ducting is laid behind the
housing unit back panel. The back
panel must be removable for
maintenance purposes.
Drip tray
The hob must be installed such that the
drip tray is easily accessible as it needs
to be removed for cleaning.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the hob.
