Making the worktop recess
The cut-out is produced in two work steps.
1. Making the opening for the base trough.
2. Making the recess for the support of the glass ceramic hob.
(For this recess at least a recessing machine with guide strip
is required.)
The outside dimension of the recess should always be about
6 mm longer than the outside dimension of the glass ceramic hob
so that a seal can be provided (see: "Gluing in the hob").
Alternatively, instead of carrying out the second stage, the sup-
port of the glass ceramic hob can be cut out completely and then
glued in again with the height adjusted.
It is also possible to install strips of wood or stone as well as steel
angles.
1. Make the opening for the hob.
2. Fix the strip of wood or stone or the supporting angle onto
the worktop.
With stone worktops the glass ceramic hob can be inserted com-
pletely flush. The recess must therefore be about 5
With wooden worktops the recess must be 4
resultant protrusion of the glass ceramic hob compared with the
worktop of min. 1 mm serves to protect the plastic surface of the
worktop, preventing a hot saucepan from being unintentionally
placed on it.
Note
In order to ensure that it is exactly flush with the stone worktop,
the recess may have to be modified accordingly.
