9. Mounting the appliance
For the installation of the appliance, there must be a free space as indicated in Fig. 1 – 6,
depending on the individual model (see type plate on appliance). The installation location
is limited only as follows:
there must be a distance of at least 400 mm between the cooktop and any furniture above
(e.g. hanging cabinets).
The appliance rests on the frame in the kitchen furniture. It must be fastened firmly to the
kitchen countertop using the included screws and 4 fastening elements (see Figure 1). Do
not use the gas lines, taps or parts of the burner for fastening.
Beneath the bottom of the appliance there must be a space of at least 10 mm in order to
provide for sufficient circulation of the cooling air.
To exhaust the heat under the cooktop it is needed to have ventilation openings of a
minimum free cross section of 7,5 cm2 underneath the cooktop. The minimum width of the
ventilation openings is 5 mm, that means the opening dimension has to be minimum 150 x
5 mm.
The position of the ventilation openings can be according to the built-in-situation on the
side, at the front, at the back or underneath the appliance.
