OPTION:
When fitting a gas hob above a drawer or standard housing unit,
suitable precautions must be taken to prevent contact. with the
casing of the hob, which becomes very hot during operation. The
recommended method for overcoming this problem is to fix a
wooden panel within the cabinet at a distance of 15mm below the
underside of the hob (see fig 1). This panel must have adequate
ventilation to the rear.
Ventilation slot > 30 mm
The panel underneath the hob must be easily removable to allow
for any servicing requirements.
Before inserting the hob into the work surface, place the adhesive
seal (a) around the underside edge of the hob. It is important to fix
this gasket evenly, without gaps or overlapping to prevent liquids
from seeping underneath the hob.
1. Remove the pan stands and the burner caps then turn the hob
upside down, taking care not to damage the ignition plugs and
the thermocouples.
2. Place the gasket around the bottom edge of the hob as shown
in the illustration overleaf (left).
3. Place the hob in the installation opening and push it down so
that the hob is resting firmly on the cabinet.
4. Secure the hob in position using the fixing brackets supplied:
Screw
Fixing bracket
Worktop
a
Secure the hob to the underside of the worktop using the fixings
provided. Screw one end of the bracket into the pre-drilled holes in
the underside of the hob. The other end of the bracket should be
located underneath the worktop to secure the hob in position.
