Instructions for assembly
Note
The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob may only be built-in in
accordance to the instructions included in this manual: In
the case of failure to observe these instructions, KÜPPERS-
BUSCH shall decline any liability and the approved marks of
conformity will become invalid!
Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furni-
ture must be temperature resistant (>75°C). If the veneers and
surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can become
deformed.
• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when
installing the hob.
• Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob
which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as mini-
mum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams
are maintained.
• Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to
be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.
• For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety dis-
tance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface of
the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant material.
Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be
at least 300 mm.
• The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must
be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instruc-
tions for the cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.)
must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are poten-
tially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a
danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.
Installation
Important
• If the hob is located above kitchen units (side panels, drawers,
etc.), it is recommended that an intermediate shelf be installed
with a minimum clearance of 20 mm to the underside of the
hob.
• To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects
which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure
to heat are directly next to or under the surface.
• When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is essential
to ensure that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since
these could become bent on the underside of the hob and pre-
vent the drawer from being opened and closed.
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with
the hob.
• No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the
worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into con-
tact with any electrical appliances.
• When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a
ceramic or similar 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 (putty).
•
The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with sili-
cone sealant!
This would make it impossible to remove the
hob at a later date without damaging it.
Ventilation
• The back wall of the bottom cabinet must be open in the area
of the cut-out in order to provide for air circulation.
• The front transverse strip of the unit must be removed so that
an opening is provided for air flow underneath the worktop
over the entire width of the appliance.
• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least
in the area of the worktop cut-out.
• Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture or
built-in units must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induc-
tion hob.
• It is recommended that the openings for ventilation and
exhaust air be thermally separated with the screen supplied.
Thus a back-flow of warmed air is prevented from entering the
cool air intake.
•
Attention!
The screen shield must not cover the ventilation
openings. If necessary, shorten the shield up to the furniture or
built-in unit.
• Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a
baking oven without a cross flow cooling device.
• The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation
is taking place in a built-in oven.
Working surface cut-out
Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw
blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be
sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated.
The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any
distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that
the sealing of the hob is properly seated.
The glass ceramic hob is fastened with clips or with brackets.
