be of a heat resistant material.
The worktop and its support must be strong enough to carry the weight of
the hob plus full cooking pans.

The hob is a class X appliance, as such adjacent walls which project above

Before cutting the worktop, make sure that there is enough space
underneath to accept the hob, and that there are no supports or projections
which might interfere with fitting the hob.

Cut the aperture in the worktop to the dimensions shown in the relevant
diagram below, taking care that it refers to your hob. The cut edges of the
aperture should be sealed with paint or varnish to prevent any ingress of
moisture.

Installing your hob

Connecting the hob The connection to the electrical supply must be made before fitting

the hob in the worktop.
For your own safety, we recommend that your hob is connected by

a competent electrician. The installation must comply with current
I.E.E. Wiring Regulations.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!

The hob must be connected to the correct electrical supply as
stated on the voltage label, located on the underside of the
product, through a suitable double-pole control unit having a
minimum contact separation of 3mm in all poles. We recommend
that the circuit is rated to 32 Amps. We recommend P.V.C.
insulated twin and earth cable with a conductor size of 4mm ² to
connect the hob to the mains supply. The maximum size of cable
that can be used is 6mm ² twin and earth, the minimum is 4mm².

Access to the mains terminal block, for supply cable connection, is
gained by removing the small plate on the underside front left hand
corner of the hob. Pass the mains cable through the plastic
grommet provided and secure it by using the cable clamp. Connect
the mains cable as follows:

- Live to terminal L

- Neutral to terminal N

- Earth to terminal
Allow sufficient cable length for the hob to be removed for

maintenance, but ensure that the cable is looped well to the back
of the cabinet and is kept clear of the base of the hob.

Fitting the hob 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 that the hob glass is
covering the worktop along all four sides. Set the front edge of the
appliance parallel with the front of the worktop. Locate and attach
the securing clamps (x 2) 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.

Note that the clamps are

reversible to suit either
30mm or 40mm thick
worktop.
