Bottom of the hob
Front
Ventilation
• The back wall of the cabinet must be open in the area of the cut-out in
order to provide for air circulation.
• The front transverse strip of the furniture must be removed so that an
opening is provided for air flow underneath the worktop over the entire
width of the unit.
• Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the
area of the worktop cut-out.
• The distance between induction hob and kitchen furniture resp. built-
in unit must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induction.
• The ventilation openings must be thermically devided with the attached
screen shield. 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.
Safety instructions for the kitchen fitter
• Veneers, stuck-on or plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture 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 minimum 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 distance of at
least 40 mm. 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 instructions for the
cooker hood.
• The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be
kept out of reach of children as these parts are potentially dangerous.
Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of suffocation.
Installation
Important
• If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side panels,
drawers, etc.), then an intermediate bottom must be inserted at a
minimum distance of 20 mm in order to prevent accidental contact
with the underside of the cooking surface. The intermediary shelf may
only be removed by tools.
• 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 above the surface.
Sealing of cooking zone
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with the hob.
• In addition, make sure that no liquids can penetrate between the edge
of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come
into contact 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 silicone
sealant! This would make it impossible to remove the hob at a later
date without damaging it.
Note
The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob may only be built in in accordance
to the instructions included in this manual:
- above an intermediate bottom
- above a KÜPPERSBUSCH Collection electrical built-in oven with
cooling fan
The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob must not be installed above a
dishwasher. In case of a failure to observe these instructions,
KÜPPERSBUSCH shall decline any liability and the approved marks
of conformity become invalid!
