Silicone Sealing - Gaggenau CG 492 Installation Manual

Silicone Sealing

Important notes:
seal the space between the work surface and the
hob with a suitable temperature resistant silicone
(e.g. Novasil, Pactan) and smooth the joint with the
suitable wetting agent recommended by the
manufacturer. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Use of unsuitable silicone on natural stone worktops
can cause permanent discoloration.
Wait until the silicone has hardened completely (at
least 24 hours depending on the room temperature)
until switching on the cooker.
Silicone starts to cure after a few minutes.
Therefore the installation has to be done
swiftly. It is advisable you test the following
installation steps and check the proper
alignment before applying the silicone to
guarantee a perfect installation.

(APPLIES NOT TO the version welded into a stainless-steel worktop)
Important: before sealing with silicone, check the
whole appliance is aligned level with the worktop.
• Completely fill the gap between worktop and
supporting frame with silicone (also the corners).
There should be a bead of silicone all around. The
silicone should protrude 1-3 mm above the
worktop.
• Place the decorative frame onto the silicone bead.
Do not press down the decorative frame.
• Place the trough into the supporting frame and
screw on evenly.
• Replace the sealing strip at the back of the
appliance and tighten the 3 screws.
• Gently and evenly push the decorative frame all
around into the silicone bead until it is flush with
the worktop. Remove excess silicone flush with
the worktop.
• Should the decorative frame protrude above the
worktop apply pressure to adjust. Place an even
weight on the decorative frame while the silicone
hardens.
• Replace all burner parts correctly.
• Replace the three cast iron covers on the rear of
the cooker and push down until they engage: first
the (longer) middle part, then the parts on the
sides.
• Replace the pod grids. The Gaggenau logo must
be facing to the front.
