APPLIANCE AND BE CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING THE APPLIANCE TEMPERATURES.

• Installation of the appliance into a kitchen worktop must be performed by an adequately
qualified technician.

• Veneer or other finish of the piece of kitchen furniture into which the hob is to be built in should
be treated with heat resistant glue (100°C); otherwise, the worktop finish may be discolored

• All sizes and distances to be taken for the proper functioning of the appliance are shown in

figures below.

• The kitchen furniture element underneath the hob should not be fitted with a drawer. If the kitchen
furniture element as a horizontal partition wall, it should be installed no less than min 20mm from
the lower surface of the appliance. The space between the partition wall and the appliance must
be empty; no objects should be placed into that gap.
