11.3 Positioning
If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls, drawers, etc.) under the hob, a double-layer base
must be installed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must
only be possible to remove the double-layer base using suitable equipment.
In any event, if installed above an oven, a dishwasher or a refrigerator, a space of at least 5 cm must
be left between the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.
Due to the risk of fire, make sure that there are no objects which are flammable or subject to
deformation in the presence of heat in the immediate vicinity of the hob.
11.4 Hob seal
Before installing, check that the hob seal is
attached properly.
Ensure that no liquid gets between the frame of
the hob and the work surface, or between the hob
and the wall, as it could then fall onto appliances
below.
If the hob is installed into a work surface which is
not flat, e.g. ones with ceramic or similar
coverings (tiles, etc.), any seal on the hob must be
removed and the cooking surface must be sealed
using plastic sealant.
Do not fix the hob using silicon as this would make it impossible to uninstall the hob, if necessary,
without damaging it.
11.5 Section cut from the work surface
• Cut the work surface
precisely, using a good,
straight saw blade or a
vertical milling cutter. The
surfaces of the cut area
must then be sealed to
prevent the ingress of
moisture.
The hob must be cut in
accordance with the
appropriate designs.
The glass ceramic
cooking surface must be
perfectly horizontal and
perfectly sealed.
Installing it under tension
could lead to the plate
breaking.
Check that the hob seal is
attached properly.
The hob should be fixed in place using clips or tongues.
