Installation Cont.
Appling the Seal
The installation hardware includes four lengths of sealing tape which when applied around the hob prevents
liquid from entering the cabinet.
Follow the instructions below in order to correctly apply this sealing tape before inserting the hob into the
work surface.
• Remove the trivets, burner base and burner caps, then turn the cooktop upside down, taking care not to
damage the Spark Electrodes and the thermocouples.
• Detach the backing strip from sealing tape but ensure that the transparent adhesive still adheres to the
seal itself.
• Apply the sealing tape as illustrated below. Correctly position the sealing tape (A) under the edge, ensuring
that the outer part of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob (Fig. 4). The ends of the strips
must fi t together without overlapping.
• Evenly and securely fi x the seal to the hob, pressing it fi rmly in place at the underside of the hob.
• Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the aperture. This will make it diffi cult to remove
the cooktop from the aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be serviced.
Installation Options
When fi tting a gas cooktop above a drawer or standard housing unit, suitable precautions must be
taken to prevent contact with the cooktop hob and base, which becomes very hot during operation. The
recommended method for overcoming this problem is to fi x a wooden panel within the cabinet at a minimum
distance of 15mm below the underside of the cooktop. This panel must have adequate ventilation (V) equal or
greater than ≥ 30mm to the rear (Fig. 5).
The panel below the hob must be easily removable to enable servicing if and when required.
