Installation (Cont.)
Applying the seal
The installation hardware includes a length of sealing tape, which when
applied around the cooktop prevents liquid from entering the cabinet.
Follow the instructions below in order to correctly apply this sealing tape
before inserting the cooktop into the work surface.
• Remove the enamelled trivets and the burner caps, then turn the
cooktop upside down and place it on a cushioned mat, taking care not
to damage the ignition plugs and the thermocouples.
• Detach the backing strip from the sealing tape but ensure that the
transparent adhesive still adheres to the seal itself.
• Apply the sealing tape as illustrated below (Fig. 4). Correctly position
the sealing tape under the edge, ensuring that the outer part of the seal
perfectly matches the outer edge of the cooktop. The ends of the strips
must fit together without overlapping.

• Evenly and securely fix the seal to the cooktop, pressing it firmly in place
at the underside of the cooktop.
•
IMPORTANT:
Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against
the aperture. This will make it difficult to remove the cooktop from the
aperture in future if it needs to be serviced.
Inserting and fixing the cooktop
• Place a mounting bracket over the hole that matches the size of the
screws
—
there are appropriate screw holes in each corner of the hob.
• Insert a screw (A) through the mounting bracket (B) and slightly tighten it
so that the bracket is attached to the cooktop, but you can still adjust its
position (Fig. 5, page 15).
• Carefully turn the cooktop back over and then gently lower it into the
aperture hole that you have cut out until it is resting firmly on the cabinet/
benchtop surface.
