2. Positioning of hob
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must be carried out
by a competent tradesman.
Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid
wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C).
2.1 Attachment to support structure
Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top surface of the
counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the rear border. This unit may be
set against walls that are higher than the hob as long as distance “X” (see figure) is
maintained to prevent damage to the walls due to overheating. Make sure there is a
minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate flames and any shelf that may be installed
directly above them. In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a
separating panel has to be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm
between the bottom of the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be easily
removable to allow access in the event of technical service.
Whenever a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, refer to the instruction
manual to ensure it is installed at the correct distance.
