Surface-mounted installation

Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
 Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish,
silicone 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.

Attach the seal provided underneath
the edge of the hob. Do not attach it
under tension.

Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.

Place the hob centrally 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
important to ensure an effective seal
all round.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
If the seal does not sit flush with the
worktop in the corners, the corner
radius (≤ R4) can be carefully cut to fit
using a jigsaw.

Connect the hob to the mains.
 Check that the hob works.
Flush-fit installation

Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Safety
distances”).
 Solid wood, tiled and glass worktops:
Fix a wooden frame 5,5 mm below
the top edge of the worktop (see
building-in diagram for “Flush-fit
installation”).

Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the hob.

Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.

Centre the hob in the cut-out.
The gap between the ceramic surface
and the worktop must be at least
2 mm wide. This is required so that
the hob can be sealed.

Connect the hob to the mains.

Check that the hob works.
 Seal the gap between the hob and
worktop with a silicone sealant that is
heat-resistant to at least 160 °C.

Damage from unsuitable sealant.
Unsuitable sealant can damage
natural stone.
For natural stone worktops and
natural stone tiles, only use silicone
sealant that is specially formulated
for natural stone. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
