Installing the hob
Flush fit hobs are only suitable for
installation in granite, marble, tiled or
solid wood worktops.
When using a worktop made from
any other material, please check first
with the worktop manufacturer that it
is suitable for installing a flush fit
hob.
Certain models are suitable for
building into glass worktops - please
see advice under "Building-in
dimensions".
The internal width of the base unit
must be at least as wide as the
internal cut-out width for the hob
(see "Building-in dimensions"). This
is to ensure that the casing can be
easily removed for maintenance.
If the underside of the hob is not
freely accessible after installation,
any sealant used to plug the gaps
around the appliance must be
removed to enable the hob to be
lifted out of the cut-out should this
be necessary.
The hob can be installed
–
in a suitable cut-out in a granite or
marble worktop.
–
in a suitable cut-out in a tiled or solid
wood worktop or a glass worktop
with a wooden support frame. The
frame must be provided on site, and
is not supplied with the appliance.
