2. POSITIONING OF THE 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).
Never use silicone or other insulating products when installing the appliance; use only the rubber gasket
provided.
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 device is classified "type Y" as regards risks against fire and it
can be set adjacent to walls that are higher than the work surface,
provided that a distance of
145 mm
. is respected (as shown in the
figure) to prevent damage 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. Accurately position the gasket provided all around the outer edge of the
hole in the top surface as shown in the figures below, pressing it down so as to make it adhere properly.
Refer to the dimensions shown in the diagram, bearing in mind that the sides A must be flush with the
hole. Fix the hob to the unit using the brackets B provided.
Carefully trim any excess from border C of the gasket. The distances in the following drawing refer to the
hole
on the inner side
of the gasket.
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.
