Alternative clamp positions
If the front and rear clamp positions
are problematic, alternative positions
can be used on the sides of the hob,
dependant on the particular installa-
tion.
These positions will require clearance
from any cabinet sides and may effect
how tightly the hob will meet the work-
top.
Stone (Granite or equivalent)
worktops
Depending on the type of worktop
being used, there may or may not be
any backing material to screw the
clamp screws into.
1. If the worktop is a composite type
(backed with MDF or similar) there
may be enough backing to screw
directly into. This will depend on
the worktop thickness and backing
thickness and will have to be
assessed at the installation. In this
case, install the hob as for a stan-
dard worktop.
2. If there is insufficient backing mate-
rial to screw into, or if the worktop
is completely solid in construction,
then it will be necessary to glue a
strip of wood, MDF, fibreboard or
similar to the underside of the work-
top, along the front and rear edges
of the cutout. Use a strong, propri-
etary adhesive to bond these strips
and allow to cure before attempt-
ing to clamp the hob into position.
