7 Instructions for assembly
7.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fi tters
•
Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding
furniture must be temperature resistant (at least 75°C).
If the veneers and surfaces are not suffi ciently heat
resistant they may become deformed.
•
Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated
when installing the hob.
•
Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind
the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible
as long as minimum clearances in accordance with the
installation diagrams are maintained.
•
Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the
rear are to be maintained in accordance with the instal-
lation diagram.
•
For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety
distance of at least 50 mm must be ensured. The side
surface of the tall cupboard should be fi tted with heat
resistant material. Due to working requirements, howe-
ver, the distance should be at least 300 mm.
•
The clearance between the hob and an extraction
hood must be at least as large as that stipulated in the
assembly instructions for the cooker hood.
•
The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails
etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these
parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be
swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting
causing suff ocation.
7.2 Ventilation
•
The induction hob is fi tted with a fan that switches on
and off automatically. The fan starts slowly when the
electronic system temperatures exceed a specifi c limit.
When the induction hob is used intensively, the fan will
switch to a greater velocity. Once the electronic system
has cooled down suffi ciently, the fan will reduce its
velocity and switch off again automatically.
•
Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furni-
ture or built-in units must provide for suffi cient ventilati-
on of the induction hob.
•
If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically rai-
sed or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off device) it
is likely that the cooling system does not cool suffi cient-
ly. In this case we recommend that the back wall of the
bottom kitchen unit in the area of the worktop cut-out
be opened and that the front transverse strip of the unit
be removed over the entire width of the appliance in
order to promote the circulation of air.
In order to better ventilate the hob, an air gap of 5 mm
should be left at the front.

7.3 Installation
Important information
•
Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g.
from a baking oven without a cross fl ow cooling device.
•
The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis
operation is taking place in a built-in oven.
•
When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is
essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored in
the drawer since these could become bent on the un-
derside of the hob and prevent the drawer from being
opened and closed.
•
If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there
must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside
of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is suffi ciently
ventilated.
•
The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, free-
zers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
•
To avoid danger of fi re, make sure that no combustible
objects which could easily catch fi re or become defor-
med on exposure to heat are directly next to or under
the surface.
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit deliver-
ed with the hob.
•
No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob
and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and
come into contact with any electrical appliances.
•
When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with
a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the
hob is to be removed and the seal between the hob
and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (putty).
•
The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with
silicone sealant! This would make it impossible to remo-
ve the hob at a later date without damaging it.
Working surface cut-out
Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight
saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should
then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated. The glass ceramic hob
must have a level and fl ush bearing. Any distortion may
lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the sea-
ling of the hob is properly seated.
