2.
Positioning in the counter top
If it is necessary to adapt the hob for use with a different type of gas from the
factory-set one, adjust it before mounting the hob, according to the instructions
in “5. Adaptation to different types of gas”.
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore 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
Fixing to the supporting structure
Create an opening in the counter top with the dimensions shown in the figure, keeping
a minimum distance of
100 mm
from the rear edge. This appliance can be installed
next to walls which are higher than the hob top, provided that the distance shown in
the illustration is maintained in order to avoid damage from overheating. Make sure
there is a minimum distance of
750 mm
between the hob and any shelf or hood that
may be installed directly above it.
If the hob is installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan.
In case of installation on an empty kitchen unit with doors, a separation panel must be
placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm between the bottom of the
hob and the surface of the panel, which must be easily extractable to allow sufficient
access for any technical assistance.
