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 un-
derside 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, tak-
ing 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.
