Instructions for assembly
The KÜPPERSBUSCH hob may only be built-in in accord-
ance to the instructions included in this manual: In the case
of failure to observe these instructions, KÜPPERSBUSCH
shall decline any liability and the approved marks of con-
formity will become invalid!
Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
• Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furni-
ture must be temperature resistant (at least 75°C). If the
veneers and surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they
may become deformed.
• Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when
installing the hob.
• 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 50 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 information
• If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side
panels, drawers, etc.), then an intermediate shelf must be
inserted at a minimum distance of 20 mm in order to prevent
accidental contact with the underside of the cooking surface.
The intermediate shelf may only be removed with 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 placed directly next to or above the hob.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
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.
