Installation instructions

Notes on installation

The model, voltage and rated load are
given on the hob data plate. These
must match the mains supply. When
contacting the Service Department
please quote voltage, model and serial
numbers given on the data plate.
Fit wall units and adjacent tall units
before fitting the ceramic hob, to
avoid the danger of damaging the
hob.
The veneer or laminate coatings of
worktops (or adjacent kitchen units)
must be treated with 100 °C heat resis-
tant adhesive which will not dissolve or
distort.
The hob may not be built in over a
dishwasher or fridge, fridge-freezer
or freezer. The high radiant tempera-
tures which are sometimes gener-
ated by the hob could damage
such appliances.
If the hob is built in above an oven,
the connecting cable of the hob
must be positioned in such a way
that it cannot come into contact with
the oven housing.
Installation instructions
Ceramic hob
These hobs are classified as "Y" class
for heat protection
(IEC regulation 335-2-6) (not Australia).
Ideally the hobs should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and
wall or tall units at one side. On the
other side however no unit or divider
must stand higher than the hob.
Due to the heat radiated from the
hob unit, it is essential that the fol-
lowing minimal distances are main-
tained.:
– 40 mm between the worktop cut-
out and adjacent kitchen units
(e. g. Tall unit)
– 50 mm between the worktop cut-
out and the rear wall
