11. INSTALLATION
11.1 Safety instructions for installing kitchen furniture
Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperature-resistant
(>75°C). If they are not sufficiently temperature-resistant, they may warp over time.
When the appliance has been installed, it must be protected from accidental contact with the electric
cables.
If the required minimum distances are respected, decorative solid wood panels can be applied to the
bottom edge of the work surface.
The minimum distances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in
the installation illustrations.
Maintain a safe lateral distance from wall units of at least 50 mm. The side coating of wall units must
be a heat-resistant material. For operational technical requirements, the vertical distance from wall
units must be at least 750 mm.
The minimum distance between a ventilation hood and the cooking surface must be at least the
distance indicated in the ventilation hood installation instructions.
The packaging materials (e.g. plastic sheets, expanded polystyrene, pins, etc.) must be kept out of
reach of children as they may present a danger to the children's safety. There is a risk of them
swallowing small parts or risking suffocation when playing with plastic films.
11.2 Ventilation
If installed on top of an oven, the oven must
be equipped with a cooling fan.
The back wall of the lower unit must be open
at the height of the section cut out of the work
surface to ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation.
Remove the front transverse strip on the unit
to create an opening for the air flow of at least
4 mm under the work surface across the full
width of the appliance.
Remove any transverse strips in the area
below the section cut out of the work surface.
The distance between the induction hob and
the kitchen furniture or other installed
appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge.
Avoid excessive overheating of the bottom of the hob, caused, for example, by ovens without a fan
with a transverse current.
Do not use the hob if pyrolysis is taking place inside the oven.
Do not obstruct the ventilation grille in front of the product in any type of installation
The illustration below shows two examples of installation suitable for proper ventilation and one
example of incorrect installation to be avoided.
