Protective Shelf; Sealant - Miele KM 523 Operating And Installation Instructions

Installation

Protective shelf

After installing the hob, you need to
make sure that the underside of the
appliance cannot be accessed or
touched.
A panel and a protective shelf must be
fitted if:
– there is no oven underneath the
appliance
– the appliance is wider than the oven
– the appliance and the oven are offset
from one another.
A minimum distance of 75 mm is
required between the upper surface of
the worktop and the protective shelf.
A gap of 10 mm must be maintained
between the shelf and the rear wall.

Sealant

Do not use any sealant unless
expressly instructed to do so. The
sealing strip under the edge of the top
part of the hob provides a sufficient
seal for the worktop.
Do not use sealant between the
frame of the top part of the hob and
the worktop.
This could cause difficulties if the
hob ever needs to be taken out for
servicing and possibly result in
damage to the hob frame or the
worktop.
