Worktop
Follow the worktop manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
¡ Level, horizontal, stable.
¡ The worktop into which you are fitting the appli-
ance must be able to withstand loads of approx.
60 kg.
¡ For thin worktops, use heat-resistant and moisture-
resistant reinforcement material.
¡ Only check the evenness of the hob after it has
been installed.
¡ You can install the appliance in the following tem-
perature-resistant, water-resistant worktops:
– Marble or natural stone worktops.
– Plastic worktops.
– Solid wood worktops: Only in agreement with
the worktop manufacturer (seal the cut-out
edges).
– For other worktops: Only in agreement with the
worktop manufacturer.
¡ To level the appliance, do not use supports at indi-
vidual points.
¡ The cut-out work on the worktop must be carried
out by a specialist company in accordance with
the installation diagram. The cut edge must be
neat and precise because it is visible on the sur-
face. Clean the cut edges with a suitable cleaning
product and degrease them.
Extractor hood
¡ The clearance between the extractor hood and the
hob must correspond at least to the clearance
specified in the installation instructions for the ex-
tractor hood.
Preparing the fitted units
Mark the unit cut-out in accordance with the in-
1.
stallation diagram.
Ensure that the angle of the cut surface to the
‒
worktop is 90°.
→ Fig.
1
After making the cut-outs, remove any shavings.
2.
Seal the cut surfaces with heat-resistant material.
3.
Ventilation
To guarantee that the appliance works correctly, the
hob must be sufficiently ventilated. The ventilation in
the lower section of the appliance requires a suffi-
cient supply of fresh air. Therefore, if required, adjust
the units for this purpose.
Maintain a minimum clearance between the rear
1.
of the unit and the kitchen wall.
→ Fig.
2
Ensure that an opening at the top of the rear of
2.
the unit is unobstructed.
→ Fig.
3
If the clearance from the back wall of the unit is
3.
less than 20 mm, create an opening on the under-
side.
→ Fig.
4
If the inside of the unit is not wider than 780 mm,
4.
make cuts on the side panels.
→ Fig.
5
Do not hermetically seal the lower base.
