Leave a space in the front of the cabinet so
that the hot air can ventilate properly. The
opening should be at least 5 mm high. The
longitude should be the width of the cabinet.
An opening of 20 mm should be made in
the back part of the cabinet in order to
allow cold air to enter (see figure 1).
Warnings:
When hobs are handled before
being installed, care should be taken in
case there is any protruding part or
sharp edge which could cause injury.
When installing units or applian-
ces above the hob, the hob should be
protected by a board so that the glass
cannot be damaged by accidental
blows or heavy weights.
The glues used in manufacturing
the kitchen unit and in the adhesive on
the decorative laminate of the worktop
surface should be made to tolerate tem-
peratures of up to 100ºC.
TEKA assumes no responsibility
for any malfunction or damage caused
by faulty installation.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE GUA-
RANTEE DOES NOT COVER THE
GLASS IF IT SUFFERS A VIOLENT
BLOW OR IF IT IS USED IMPROPERLY.
Fastering the hob
When the gap has been properly sized, the
sealing washer should be put on the lower
face of the glass.
Silicone should not be
applied between the glass and the unit
worktop because if it becomes neces-
sary to remove the hob from its position,
the glass could break when trying to
detach it.
To secure the hob to the cabinet, four brac-
kets should be fastened to the existing holes
on the bottom part of the casing (two in the
front and two in the back). There are two
possibilities of where the brackets may be
placed, just as is shown in figure 2.
The model IR 831 includes ten brackets ins-
tead of four (three in the front, three in the
rear and two on each side).
Depending on the thickness of the cabinet, it
may be necessary to use the self tapping
screws that are provided as compliments for
securing; insert them in the circular holes of
the bracket. The thread of this hole will be
made when the screw is inserted inside of it.
The thread should be made before faste-
ning the bracket to the hob.
Connecting the electricity
The electric connection is made via an
omnipolar switch or plug where accessible,
which is suitable for the intensity to be tole-
rated and which has a minimum gap of 3
mm between its contacts, which will ensure
disconnection in case of emergency or
when cleaning the hob.
The connection should include correct ear-
thing, in compliance with current norms.
If the flexible supply cable fitted to these
appliances ever needs to be changed, it
