Installation instructions
Hints on installation
Make sure that the worktop is perfectly horizontal.
The front, rear and lateral clearances around the hob unit must be main-
tained in accordance with the dimensional drawing.
A corner moulding of solid wood may be fitted to the worktop at the
back of the hob unit provided that the minimum clearances are main-
tained.
For practical reasons the lateral clearance between the hob unit and an
adjacent tall cupboard unit must measure at least 300 mm.
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance underneath the cut-out. Any
furniture battens must be cut away to leave an area which is at least
the same size as the cut-out itself.
With regard for protection against overheating of surrounding surfaces
(kitchen unit parts), the appliance is a type Y appliance. This means that
the rear wall and one side wall of this appliance can be placed beside
arbitrarily high cupboard walls or room walis.
On the other side wall however, only one kitchen unit or appliance with
the same height as this appliance may be placed.
Make a point of ensuring that the plastic laminate or wood veneer on
your furniture surround has been applied by means of a heat-resistant
adhesive (100 °C).
The underside of the installed appliance must be protected by a panel
which prevents inadvertent contact with the live parts or connecting
leads between the control unit and the hob unit. It must not be possible
to remove the panel without tools.
Any cooker hoods or wall cupboards must have a vertical clearance of
at least 650 mm from the hob unit.
A Küppersbusch built-in oven can be fitted underneath the cooking area.
We recommend you to seal the cut surface of the worktop recesses for fit-
ted sinks and hobs with a protective water-proof paint.
The assembly seal is to be renewed after every dismantling operation. This
seal can be obtained from our customer service under the spare part
No. 53 80 17.
Installation
Be extremely careful when installingl Do not place or drop any sharp or
pointed tools (screwdrivers etc.) on the glass surface!
The glass-ceramic cooking area must have a level and flush bearing.
Any distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel.
Never use any electrically operated or air operated wrenches without an
adjustable slipping clutch! Any overtightening must be avoided!
Making the worktop recess
-
Make the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or
recessing machine in accordance with the dimensions in the illustrations.
The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
Insert the glass ceramic hob
-
Insert the glass ceramic hob into the horizontally installed worktop so
that the switch strip is on the right.
-
Carefully position the hob in the recess and firmly fasten to the worktop
with the appropriate attachment elements.
-
After attachment check the seal with the worktop.
Attachment of worktops made of wood
-
In the case of worktops made of wood, screw the attachment springs
into the recess as shown in the illustration and then press the hob even-
ly into these springs from above.
Attachment of worktops made of stone
-
With worktops made of stone, insert the angle nuts and introduce the
glass ceramic hob from above. Then fasten the hob with screws and at-
tachment brackets from below (see illustrations).
–
Align the glass ceramic hob horizontally. There is a risk of breakage if
the hob is canted or subjected to stress during installation!
Attachment of worktops with an uneven surface
-
When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or si-
milar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the
seal between the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials,
such as heat-resistant silicone rubber (not included in scope of delivery).
-
Clean the surfaces to be sealed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions on the cartridge. Apply the compound in a continuous strip,
pressing it firmly against the gap to be sealed.
-
Cut away any surplus sealing compound with a sharp knife and clean
the sealed joint with water.
