Installation
These instructions are intended for the qualified technician
installing the appliance in order to insure that the installation,
adjustments and maintenance procedures are performed
correctly and comply with the regulations currently in effect.
Important: the hob must be disconnected from the
power supply before making any adjustments or
performing any maintenance, etc.
Installing built-in hobs
The hob has a type X protection rating against overheating
in compliance with regulation CEI 335-2-6. Therefore, the
hob cannot be installed alongside of cabinets which are
higher than the surface of the hob itself. The following
precautionary measures should be observed in order to
ensure proper installation:
a) Hoods must be installed in compliance with the required
specifications contained in the instruction manual for the
hood itself.
b) The built-in ceramic hob can be installed on any counter
top as long as it is 600 mm or more in width and resistant
to temperatures of up to 100°C. The dimensions and
the position of the hole are shown below.
These measurements must absolutely be observed in
so far as improper installation can cause the surrounding
surface areas to overheat. It is recommended that the
hob be installed at a distance of at least 55 mm from the
back wall or other vertical surfaces to ensure that the air
circulates properly over the cooking area and to avoid
overheating the surrounding surfaces. A seal or gasket
is provided with the hob, make sure that it adheres
properly to the bottom part of the frame of the hob.
The seal must fit properly around the entire hob frame
and especially along the corners in order to create a
seal between the work top and the hob itself so as
to prevent spills or splashes from leaking into the
cabinet below.
The hob must be fixed into the worktop using the fixing clamps
- see diagram.
Very important
It is essential to install the hob on a totally flat surface. Any
damage caused by incorrect fitting may alter the characteristics
or impair performance.
Insert the hob into the hole, pressing firmly around the frame
to make it adhere to the counter top.
Note: If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, it is
preferable that the oven be installed in such a way that it is
set on two strips of wood; if the oven is installed on a
continuous base, there must be an opening in the back of
at least 45 x 560 mm.
The built-in oven must be equipped with a forced air
cooling system.
