INSTALLATION
Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.
Positioning the Hob
The hob should be fitted into a work surface, which is at
least 600mm deep. In position, the hob has a maximum
thickness of 5mm from the top of the work surface, and an
overall thickness of 45mm (65mm max depth including the
connection block). The cut-out dimensions are shown in
(Fig.5-1), and the minimum clearances in (Fig.5-2).
Note: If installing the hob over a standard cabinet, you may
have to remove part of the cabinet panels to allow the unit to
fit correctly.
It is recommended that there is a minimum air gap of 100cm²
underneath the hob to allow sufficient air circulation to the unit.
It is recommended that the hob be installed in a worktop with a
minimum thickness of 40mm. If installing a built-in oven directly
under the hob then there should be a minimum air gap of 20mm
between the oven and the bottom of the hob.
Failure to maintain a suitable clearance may impair the
performance of the hob.
The minimum recommended distances from the hob to
nearby surfaces are shown in (Fig.5-3).
Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of
vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to
heat damage and discolouration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by
normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room
temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the hob.
Fixing the Hob
The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid
from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with
the hob.
Carefully follow these instructions to correctly apply the
seal: Turn the hob over and place in on a secure, level
surface. Detach the seal from the backing, checking that the
transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Carefully
position the seal along the edge of the hob. Take special care
in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the
strips must fit together without overlapping.
If the surface that the hob is to be fitted to is tiled or is not
reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof
silicone sealant may be required.
Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in the
worktop cut-out.
