Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any
back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent vertical
surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to
100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for
example). These dimensions are shown in Fig. 5.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air
intake, from the air outlet and in the base and run of units into which
it is installed (Fig 3). Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause
damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not
covered by the warranty.
Notes:
•
This could be a simple slot cut out of the plinth, or a dedicated
ventilation grille.
•
The furniture top rail should not be fitted to the unit. This allows the
induction hob to exhaust air into the kitchen space.
•
The recommended ventilation sizes are for guidance only.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of
the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
