mo-ventilated oven, to ensure good opera-
tion of the countertop.
A space should be left in front of the furni-
ture for evacuation of hot air. The opening
should be at least 5 mm high. Its length
should be the width of the furniture.
An opening of 20 mm should be made in
the back part of the furniture to allow inta-
ke of cold air (see figure 1).
When hobs are handled before
being installed, care should be taken in
case there is any protruding part or
sharp edge which could cause injury.
When installing units or applian-
ces above the hob, the hob should be
protected by a board so that the glass
cannot be damaged by accidental
blows or heavy weight.
The glues used in manufacturing
the kitchen unit and on the decorative
laminates and on the laminates that are
part of the worktop surface should be
made to tolerate temperatures of up to
100ºC.
The manufacturer does not assu-
me any responsibility for any malfunc-
tion or damage caused by faulty insta-
llation.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GUA-
RANTEE DOES NOT COVER THE
GLASS IF IT SUFFERS A VIOLENT
BLOW OR IF IT IS USED IMPROPERLY.
Fixing the hob
When the gap has been properly sized,
the gasket should be put on the lower side
of the glass.
Silicone should not be
applied between the glass and the unit
worktop because if it becomes neces-
sary to remove the hob from its posi-
tion, the glass could break when trying
to detach it.
To attach the cooking countertop to the fur-
niture, a set of clamps are supplied that
should be fastened in the existing holes in
the lower part of the framework. There are
two possible ways to position the clips, as
can be seen in figure 2.
Depending on the thickness of the worktop,
it is possible to use the self-tapping screws
that are provided as a fastening accessory
by putting them into the clip's round hole.
This hole will be threaded as the screw is
inserted into it. This should be done before
fixing the clip to the worktop.
Connecting the electricity
The electric connection is made using an
omnipolar switch or plug, where accessi-
ble, that is suitable for the intensity to be
tolerated and that has a minimum gap of 3
mm between its contacts. This will ensure
disconnection in case of emergency or
when cleaning the hob.
The connection should include correct ear-
thing, in compliance with current norms.

appliance ever needs to be changed, it
