Instructions for the Installer

The procedures required below must be carried out by a skilled builder and/or joiner. The hob can be installed on various materials, including masonry, metal, solid wood and wood finished with plastic laminates, provided the material is heat-resistant (T 90° C).

2.1 Fixing to the supporting structure

Make a hole in the cabinet top with the dimensions shown here, maintaining a distance of at least 50 mm from the rear edge. This appliance may be installed against walls higher than the worktop surface, provided the distance "X" shown here is maintained, in order to prevent damage due to overheating. Make sure that there is at least 750 mm between the hob burners and a shelf or hood (if any) placed vertically above them.

If the hob is installed above a cupboard with doors, a separator panel must be installed underneath it. Leave a gap of at least 10 mm between the bottom of the hob and the surface of the panel, which must be easily removable to allow sufficient access for any servicing procedures.

Installation of an oven without cooling fan underneath the hob is forbidden.

2. Fitting the appliance in the top

In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a separating panel has to be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm between the bottom of the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be easily removable to allow access in the event of technical service.

Instructions for the Installer

Fit the insulating gasket provided carefully around the outside edge of the hole made in the top as shown below, pressing it down with your hands so that its entire surface fits snugly. Follow the dimensions shown, depending on the model of hob to be installed, bearing in mind that on both models the long front edge must be flush with the hole. Fix the hob to the structure using the brackets A provided. Carefully trim off the excess edge of the gasket B. The dimensions in the drawing below refer to the hole on the inside edge of the gasket.

See right for the precise holes to be used when securing the hob to the top correctly using the brackets.

Instructions for the Installer

3. Electrical connection

Check that the power supply line voltage and size are as specified on the nameplate underneath the appliance's casing. This nameplate must never be removed.

The plug on the end of the power supply lead and the wall socket must be of the same type and comply with the relevant regulations. Check that the power supply line is properly earthed.

Pass the power supply cable through the rear of the cabinet, taking care that it does not touch the bottom case of the hob, or the oven (if any) built in underneath it.

The appliance's power supply line must be fitted with an omnipolar breaking device with contact gap of at least 3 mm, located in an easily accessible position close to the appliance itself.

The use of reductions, adapters or junctions is not recommended.

If the power supply cable has to be replaced, the gauge of the wires in the new cable must be at least 0.75 mm2 (3 x 0.75 cable), bearing in mind that the earth wire (yellow-green) must be at least 20 mm longer at the end for connection to the appliance. Use only a type H05V2V2-F or similar cable resistant to a temperature of up to 90°C. The cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician, who must make the mains connection as shown below.

L = brown N = blue

= yellow-green
