Any obstruction such as supports or side panels, must be removed to allow 15 mm minimum depth
below the base of the gas hob. Any overhead surface of combustible material must not be closer than
650 mm. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
It is recommended that the hob be installed at a distance of at least 55 mm from the rear wall or other
vertical surfaces to ensure that the air circulated properly over the cooking area and to avoid
overheating the surrounding surfaces. See Fig. 3.
If a cooker hood is to be installed, refer to the manufacturers instructions regarding fixing heights.
FITTING THE HOB
Unpack the hob from the carton. Remove the bag containing the sealing tape, fixing brackets and
screws. Make sure that the seal adheres properly to the bottom part of the frame of the hob.
The seal must fit properly around the entire hob frame and especially along the corners in order to
create a seal between the work top and the hob itself so as to prevent spills or splashes from leaking
into the cabinet below. The hob must be fixed into the work top using the fixing clamps as shown in Fig.
4 below.
It is essential to install the hob on a totally flat surface. Any damage caused by incorrect fitting may
alter the characteristics or impair performance.
Insert the hob into the hole, pressing firmly around the frame to make it adhere to the counter top.
Connect the hob to the gas supply and check for gas tightness.
