Installation of the glass ceramic hob EMGF
Attention when using plastic worktops !
Some producers of plastic worktops refuse to flush-installed hobs into their
plastic worktops. Please make enquiries at the producer of your worktop
concerning usability in the case of flush-installed hobs. Should a producer not
expressly agree to installation, we must point out that we will not be held liable
for any consequential damage to the worktop (which may possibly tear due to
thermal expansion).
Device and
cutout dimensions
Installation on milling out the worktop.
Installation using supporting angles or strips of wood or
stone.
Making the worktop recess
The cut-out is produced in two work steps.
1. Make the opening for the base
trough.
2. Making the recess for the support
of the glass ceramic hob.
(For this recess at least one
recessing machine with guide strip
is required.)
The outside dimension of the recess should always be about 6 mm longer
than the outside dimension of the glass ceramic hob so that a seal can be
provided (see: “Gluing in the hob”).

Alternatively, instead of carrying out the second stage, the support of the
glass ceramic hob can be cut out completely and then glued in again
with the height adjusted.
It is also possible to install strips of wood or stone as well as steel angles.
1. Make the opening for the hob.
2. Fix the strip of wood or stone or
the supporting angle onto the
worktop.
With a stone worktop the glass ceramic hob can be inserted completely flush.
The recess must therefore be about 7 mm deep.
With wooden worktops the recess must be 6 mm deep. The resultant
protrusion of the glass ceramic hob compared with the worktop of min. 1mm
serves to protect the plastic surface of the worktop, preventing a hot saucepan
from being unintentionally placed on it.
Note!
The glass-ceramic plate, with glued-in sheet metal angles, is 5.5 to 6.5 mm
thick. In order to ensure that it is exactly flush with the stone worktop, the
recess may have to be modified accordingly.
Gluing in the hob
Notes
■
In order to avoid damage to the worktop and the hob, it is necessary to glue
the system worktop/hob with a permanent seal so that it is water-proof.
■
The parts to be glued together must be dry and free from grease.
■
In order to glue the hobs you will need the
resistive primer 101
and the
heat-resistant and moisture-resistant
silicon adhesive Pactan 7056
produced by
Heidelberger Baustofftechnik
, which is also available from
the Küppersbusch spare parts service.
It is absolutely necessary to observe the remarks concerning these
two products. You will find them enclosed processing indications!
There you will also f ind a calculation f ormula f or the hardening of the
silicone adhesive.
Do not operate the cooking zone before the
hardening process is over as otherwise the silicone adhesive can be
damaged.
■
Only glue the hob on its outer edges!
■
With stone worktops installation is to be flush, with heat-sensitive worktops
(e.g. wood) the hob must project about 1 mm.
■
Never place the hob with the glass ceramic surf ace unprotected on the
worktop or the floor. Dirt (metal chips, small pieces of stone etc.) can cause
scratches in the surface of the glass ceramic hob. Please always place it
on cardboard or a wool rug.
