2 POSITIONING OF THE HOB

The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must
be carried out by a competent tradesman.
Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry,
metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood, as long as they are heat­resistant (T 90°C).

2.1 Attachment to support structure, traditional built-i

Create an opening with the dimensions
shown in the figure in the work surface,
observing a minimum distance of 50 mm from
the rear edge.
This appliance can be installed next to walls
that are higher than the work surface, as long
as the distance "X" is kept between the
appliance and the wall, as shown in the figure,
to avoid damage from overheating. Make
sure there is a minimum of 750 mm
between the gas rings and any shelf that
may be installed directly above them.
Carefully position the gasket provided all around the outer edge of the hole in the
work surface as shown in figure 2, pressing it down lightly to ensure it adheres
properly. The front and rear sides of the gasket must skim the hole. Now place the
hob on the insulating gasket and use the screws and fixing brackets (fig. 4) to secure
the hob to the supporting structure, adjusting it until perfectly horizontal.
Carefully trim off the excess edge of the gasket C (Fig.3). The dimensions in figure 2
below refer to the distance between the hole and the inside edge of the gasket. Do
not fit the brackets shown in fig. 4 until the hob has been set in place.

The lower part of the protective cover
must be fully accessible when the
appliance is installed. This appliance can
be installed next to walls that are higher
than the work surface, as long as the
distance "X" is kept, as shown in the
figure, to avoid damage from overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm (Fig. 1) between the gas rings and any shelf
that may be installed directly above them. This type of appliance also requires a cut 3
mm deep in the work-top with the dimensions shown in figure 4 (detail A, figure 2).
Before positioning the hob, position the adhesive sponge material “E” supplied over
the milled surface (fig. 2). Now place the hob on the cut in the work-top and use the
screws and fixing brackets (sequence shown in Fig. 3) to secure the hob to the
supporting structure, adjusting it until perfectly horizontal. Do not fit the brackets
shown in fig. 3 until the hob has been set in place.
