Dealing with sides, cross-rails
and back-panels in cabinetry
Depending on the cabinets, the work-
top thickness and the hob positioning,
it is possible for the hob base, the
clamp brackets and/or the gas con-
nection to interfere with parts of the
cabinet. These can be dealt with as
follows:
Cabinet sides
If the hob is to be installed across the
top of two cabinet housing units, then
the base of the hob may interfere with
the sides of these units. It will be nec-
essary to cut away the top of the unit
sides locally to clear the hob, clamp
brackets and/or gas connection.
Cross-Rails
1. Interference with hob base
If there are any cross-rails which
obstruct the hob base by running
across the worktop cutout, they can
simply be removed or locally cut-
away to allow the hob to be
installed, depending on the partic-
ular installation. Any modifications
must ensure that the strength of the
cabinet is maintained.
2. Interference with clamp brackets
If there are any cross-rails which
prevent the clamps from being
positioned on the front or rear
edges of the hob, then they can be
removed or locally cut-away
around the brackets to allow the
brackets to be installed.
Any modifications must ensure that
the strength of the cabinet is main-
tained.
Back-panel
1. Interference with clamp brackets
If the cabinet has a back-panel
which prevents the clamps from
being positioned on the rear edge
of the hob, then this panel can be
completely removed or locally cut-
away to allow the brackets to be
installed.
2. Interference or restriction of gas
connection
If the cabinet has a back-panel
which interferes with the position
of the gas supply to the hob, then
the panel can be completely
removed or locally cut-away to
allow connection to the gas sup-
ply.
