Installation notes
Flush-fit installation
Flush-fit installation is only possible in
natural stone (granite, marble), solid
wood and tiled worktops. Certain
models are suitable for building into
glass worktops - please see advice
under "Building-in dimensions". When
using a worktop made from any other
material, please check first with the
worktop manufacturer that it is
suitable for installing a flush fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see chapter "Building-in
dimensions"), so that the hob is easily
accessible from underneath after
installation and the bottom half of the
casing can be removed for
maintenance. If the underside of the
hob is not freely accessible after
installation, any sealant used to plug
the gaps around the appliance must
be removed to enable the hob to be
lifted out of the cut-out should this be
necessary.

The hob can be installed
– in a suitable cut-out in a natural stone
worktop,
– in a suitable cut-out in a solid wood,
tiled or glass worktop with a wooden
support frame. The frame must be
provided on site, and is not supplied
with the appliance.

Housing unit back panel
The extraction ducting is laid behind the
