Even your old appliance must be disposed of properly, this will contribute to avoiding negative environmental and health consequences, that would occur as a result of improper disposal.
IMPORTANT: this appliance cannot be treated as household waste. Deliver the old
appliance to the local company that is authorised to collect appliances that are no
longer in use. A proper disposal makes an intelligent recovery of precious materials. It

4. Know your appliance
All drawings relating to the Foster cooker hobs manufactured today, are at the end of this manual, Gas
cooker hobs summary [Page 182].
We ask that you recognise the drawing of the cooker hob you have purchased to familiarise with the
main technical-functional features.
ENGLISH
For research practicality the cooker hobs are distinguished in two macro-families:
• Traditional built-in cooker hobs: “8 mm edge”, “Q4 edge” and “semi-flush edge”;
• Flush built-in cooker hobs: “flush-mount” edge.
Regardless of the type of edge, the first group has a simple traditional built-in hole. The cooker
hobs with "flush-mount" edge have a more detailed drawing to enable realisation of the "made to
measure" hole, or having a step necessary to house the edge of the cooker hub so it is "flush" with
the worktop.
Numbers in correspondence with the burners are present in all drawings. Such numbers identify the
type of burner depending on the key below. To know the powers of the burners of the gas cooker hub
you purchased, refer to reading the powers table depending on the type of gas used
[Page 182].

INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS
5. First installation
ENGLISH
Do not leave packaging material waste unguarded in the household environment.
Separate the various packaging waste materials and deliver them to the
closest selective waste collection centres.
In order to remove all manufacturing residues, we recommend cleaning the appliance.
ENGLISH
For further information on cleaning see Chapter 15
[Page 37].
6. Positioning in the work top
The following interventions require masonry and/or carpentry work and must therefore be completed by a competent technician. Installation can be completed on different materials, such as masonry, metal, solid wood and plastic laminated wood, as
long as it is heat resistant (T 100°C).
6.1 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a traditional built-in
cooker hob (8 mm edge, Q4 edge, semi-flush edge)
Cut an opening on the top surface of the
cabinet with the dimensions and position
indicated here below and represented in
the drawing [Fig. 2].
The dimensions of the built-in hole are
shown in the Gas cooker hobs sum-
mary - models with traditional builtin [Page 182], in correspondence of the
drawing of the purchased cooker hob.

• The distance of the cooker hob
from the back edge must be at least
50mm;
• The distance of the cooker hob from
the walls that exceed worktop height
must be at least 100 mm;
• Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 750 mm from the burner

cooker hob distances
• Make sure that any exhaust appliances installed above the cooker hob are positioned according to the measurements indicated in the hood instructions booklet.
• Carefully position the supplied insulating gasket along the external
perimeter of the hole created on the
worktop, trying to make it adhere
along the entire surface by slightly
pressing it by hand [Fig. 4].
• Once these operations have been
completed, use the supplied brackets to fasten the hob to the structure.
Refer to the “Fastening the cook-
er hob to the cabinet” paragraph
[Page 26].

ENGLISH
6.2 Installation on the support structure (worktop) of a flush built-in cooker
hob (flush-mount edge)
This type of appliance requires milling on the 1.5 mm deep worktop,
which measurements are indicated in the top drawing, identifiable in the section
Gas cooker hobs summary - models with "flush" built-in [Page 182].
The step is necessary to house the cooker hub edge so that it is "flush" with the
worktop.
25
ENGLISH
INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS
• Accurately clean milling.
• Before positioning the top, lay the
sealer gasket provided on the entire
milling surface [
Fig. 5].
• Once these operations have been
completed, use the supplied brackets
to fasten the hob to the structure. Refer to the “Fastening the cooker
hob to the cabinet” paragraph
[Page 26].
Fig. 5:
positioning the insulating gasket
A constant light of at least 0.5 mm is envisioned between the external dimensions of the
stainless steel platform and the internal dimensions of the lowering that must be respected
during assembly. The temperatures that develop during use of the cooker hub induce a
slight elongation on the stainless steel platform, therefore, the envisioned light enables
avoiding any interferences. With regard to the kitchen worktop, the temperatures induced
by the cooker hub - whether in the section and on the contact top - are very contained.
We recommend assembling the cooker hubs with flush-mount edge on water-repellent materials.
7. Fastening the cooker hob to the cabinet
Fasten the supplied hooks to the brackets under the appliance, as shown here below.
The supplied hooks make it possible to fasten to a top whose thickness is between
30 and 40 mm.
IMPORTANT:
• For fastening this product to the support structure, the use of mechanical or
electric screwdrivers is not recommended and only moderate pressure
must be exerted by hands to the clamping parts.
• The surface under the appliance must be at at least 5 mm from the bottom of it
and must have an opening for passing gas and electric conduit that is
at least 50x50 mm.
• If this product is installed above an oven, it must be equipped with a
cooling fan.

It is necessary to verify that local distribution conditions (gas nature and pressure)
and the appliance adjustment status are compatible.
