INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have finished.
Positioning the Hob
It is recommended that the hob be installed in a worktop
with a minimum thickness of 38 mm and depth of 600 mm.
The cut-out dimensions and the recommended minimum
clearances from the hob to nearby surfaces are shown in (
Fig.
5.1
) and (
Fig. 5.2
).
NOTE: If installing the hob over a standard cabinet, you may
have to remove part of the cabinet panels to allow the unit to
fit correctly.
If installing a built-in oven directly under the hob, a minimum
thickness of 38 mm worktop is required and
must have an
air gap of 10 mm
between the oven and the bottom of the
hob (
Fig. 5.2
).
If no built-in oven is installed underneath, and If the worktop
surface used has less than a 38 mm is used a 10 mm air gap
is still required ( Fig. 5.2 ).
n n
There must be a minimum air gap of 10 mm under
the hob. Failure to maintain a suitable clearance may
impair the performance of the hob (Fig. 5.2)
.
Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Any splashback must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. Allowance should be made for
the additional height of the flue trim, which is fitted to the
cooker hob.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of
vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to
heat damage and discolouration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by
normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the hotplate.
