Installing the SmartLine element
Stick the supplied sealing strip under
the edge of the SmartLine element.
Do not apply the sealing strip under
tension.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cutout.
Position the SmartLine element in the
worktop cutout. 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.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, carefully
scribe the corner radii (
≤
R4) with a
jigsaw.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the SmartLine
element.
Connect the SmartLine element to
the mains electricity supply.
If required, connect the SmartLine
element to the gas supply (see
“Installation – Gas connection”).
Check that the SmartLine element
works.
Seal the gaps between the individual
elements with a silicone sealant that
is heat-resistant to at least 160 °C.
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.
Checking operation
After installation, ignite all burners to
check that they are operating
correctly:
- The flame must not go out on the
lowest setting, or when the control is
turned quickly from the highest to the
lowest setting.
- On the highest setting, the flame
must have a distinctive and visible
core.
