Rommelsbacher EBW 3208/IN, Instruction Manual, Page: 12 / 20

The appliance is equipped with Touch Control sensors, easy and very convenient to operate. By applying the
finger on the sensor, the respective function is activated and approved by a signal tone. Always keep the
operating panel clean and dry. Do not touch it with wet fingers as this may cause malfunction.
2.2. Mounting guidelines
2.2.1. Mounting the hob
 The cooktop is qualified for installation into worktops of various materials. In case you would like to
build-in your hob flush with your worktop, contact the supplier of your worktop for more details.
 The installation as well as repairs on the appliance may only be effected by authorised specialists.
Otherwise, considerable dangers for the user may arise. Always unplug the appliance before any
interference! The manufacturer disclaims any liability for malfunctions tracing back to an improper
installation.
 The recessed gap must have sufficient distance (at least 5 cm) to the back and the side walls to avoid
overheating. A high cabinet can be added on one side, however, at least two sides must be kept free in
order to ensure unhindered air-circulation. A distance of at least 1.5 cm must be observed between the
bottom edge and the intermediate bottom. Access from below must not be possible.
 In the rear wall of the cabinet, ventilation openings must be planned. The heated air escapes through
the ventilation openings in the rear wall. By means of an air passage which has to be installed, heated
air is prevented from flowing back to the side of cold air suction.
 Please mind that the synthetic coating and the veneer of built-in furniture has to be affixed with heat
resistant glue (100 °C).
 Prior to mounting, the recess in the worktop must be cut out according to the following drawing.

If 2 or more hobs are being installed side by side, a distance of at least 3.5 cm has to be observed
between the recesses.

In order to avoid damage to the worktop and the cooktop, it is necessary to stick the system
worktop/cooktop together permanently and in a waterproof way.
 The parts to be glued must be dry and free of grease.
 For gluing in the cooktop, you need the primer 1217 and the heat and moisture proof silicone glue
Novasil S76 from company OttoChemie . Primer and silicon glue can also be obtained from company
Rommelsbacher if necessary. Please observe the manufacturer ’ s processing notes. There, you will also
find the calculation formula for the curing process of the silicon glue. Before this curing time is over, the
cooktop must not be operated as the silicone glue can be damaged.

Glue the cooktop at its outer edges only.

The installation in stone worktops should be flush, at worktops sensitive to heat (e. g. wood or
synthetic) the cooktop must protrude by ca. 1 mm.
 Never put the cooktop with the glass ceramic unprotected on the worktop or the bottom. Soiling (swarf,
stone residues or the like) can cause scratches on the surface of the glass ceramic. Always put
cardboard or a blanket under.
 The sealing tape must be exchanged after each dismounting.
Work proceeding
1. Place the cooktop in the recess of the worktop without glue and check the height.
2. Take the cooktop out again.
3. Pretreat the contact surface of the cooking plate and all cutting surfaces of the worktop up to ca.
1 mm beyond the cutting edges with the primer. Apply the primer thickly by means of a brush on
heavily absorbing surfaces (e. g. flake boards). It is sufficient to apply the primer thinly by means of
a felt on weakly absorbing surfaces (e. g. marble or granite).
Important: After applying the primer always has to evaporate for 15 minutes.
