Fitting Into Worktop - Belling IH6013 Users Manual & Installation Handbook

Fitting into worktop

Cut a hole in the work surface to the
required size.
A clearance of at least 50mm should be
maintained between the cutout and any
rear or side wall.
The worktop must be of heat-resistant
material or covered with heat-resistant
material.
Protecting the cut-out;
The types of chipboard used for work
surfaces swell relatively quickly in contact
with humidity.
Apply a special varnish or adhesive to
the cut edge to protect it from steam or
condensation which may form under the
work surface under the hob.
This hob can be installed conventionally
(glass above the work top) or recessed
into the work top for a flush fit.
Conventional Installation
Apply the self adhesive seal to the
underside edges of the hob glass. For
best results, the seal should be adhered
along each side in turn, as close to the
edge as possible, and trimmed at each
corner, taking care to ensure a neat join.
Place the hob in the aperture, checking
the hob glass is covering the work top
along all four sides.
Set the front edge of the appliance paral-
lel with the front of the work top.
Locate and attach the securing clamps
as required, Tighten the screws so that
the hob is pulled down firmly against the
worktop, thus ensuring a good seal.
INSTALLATION
Recessed Method (selected models)
Recess the work top to the appropriate
depth (Approx 5mm) and shape to fit the
hob (add 1mm to overall glass size.
Apply the self adhesive seal to the
underside of the hob glass. For best
results, the seal should be adhered along
each joint in turn, as close to the edge
as possible, and trimmed at each corner,
taking care to ensure a neat join. Insert
the hob into the recess, ensuring that the
foam seal is sitting correctly.
Locate and attach the securing clamps to
the front and rear underside of the hob,
using the screws provided. Tighten the
screws so that the hob is pulled down
firmly against the worktop, thus ensuring
a good seal.
You may want to fill any gap between the
hob top glass and the work top surface
with silicone sealant. DO NOT fit silicone
sealant under the glass hob instead of
foam seal.
