Before installing
The units next to the appliance must be made of nonflammable materials. The laminated covering and glue
for adhering it must be heat resistant.
This appliance cannot be installed on fridges, wasshing
machines, dishwashers or similar.
If there is a drawer underneath the appliance, it must not
contain temperature sensitive or easily inflammable

An oven must have power ventilation to install a hob
above it. Check the oven’s dimensions in its installation
manual.
Preparing the kitchen unit
Make the appropriate size cut in the work surface. Fig. 4.
If there is no oven below the cooking hob, place a noninflammable separator (e. g. metal or plywood) 10mm
from the bottom of the cooking hob. This will prevent
access to the base of the hob.
On wood work surfaces varnish the cutting surfaces with
a special glue. This protects them from water vapour
which could collect under the work surface.
