Installation

Fit wall units and extractor hood before fitting the hob, to avoid damaging the ceramic surface.

The veneer or laminate coatings of

worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material.

When installing a hob there may be

a wall at the back and a wall or tall unit at one side. On the other side there must not be a unit or wall which stands higher than the hob.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

Safety instructions

recommended

not recommended

a A minimum safety distance of

50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and an adjacent wall and/or tall unit except if these are of a non-combustible material. See: Installation of appliance on wall with additional niche cladding

not allowed

Safety instructions

These hobs must not be installed

above ovens or cookers unless these have a built-in cooling down fan.

If the hob is built in above a

pyrolytic oven or cooker, it must not be used during the pyrolytic cleaning process.

To ensure adequate ventilation for

the electronic unit on the hob an interim shelf must not be fitted underneath hobs with induction heating.

Spray canisters, aerosols and other

inflammable substances should not be stored in a drawer under the hob.

After installation of the hob ensure

that the connection cable is without hindrance and that there is no mechanical obstruction which could damage it such as a drawer.

These appliances must not be

installed over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, refrigerator or freezer. The high temperatures radiated by hobs could damage the appliance below.

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Keep these instructions in a safe place and pass them on to any future owner of the appliance.

Safety distance above appliances

A minimum safety distance b must be maintained between the hob and a cooker hood above it. See the manufacturer’s operating and installation instructions for details. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails etc. a minimum safety distance of 760 mm should be maintained between it and the hob below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a cooker hood, e.g. an electric hob and a gas wok combiset, which have different safety distances given in their installation instructions you should select the greater distance of the two.

This distance is only necessary when the niche cladding material is wood or any other combustible material. For non-combustible materials (metal, ceramic tiles or similar) this dimension can be reduced by the thickness of the niche cladding material. The materials can warp or distort when subjected to high temperatures.
