Instructions for disposal

2. Instructions for disposal – our enviromental care

Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the
environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing correctly. Find the
addresses of collection, recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the
competent local organisations.
Do not throw the packing or any part of it away. They can constitute a suffocation hazard
for children, especially the plastic bags.

Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of
household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal means intelligent recycling of
valuable materials.

It is also necessary to cut the interconnecting cable to the power supply network, removing
it along with the plug.

Instructions for the Installer

If the hob has to be adapted for a type of gas different from the one for which it
is preset in the factory, make this adjusting before building it into the unit,
following the instructions in point “5. Adapting to different types of gas”.

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).

4.1 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 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.

4. Fitting the appliance in the top

If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven must be fitted with a cooling fan.

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.

Instructions for the Installer

4.2 Fitting the adhesive foam rubber strip

Fit the adhesive foam rubber strip
(supplied with the hob) around the
outside edge of its surround.
It will act as a cushion between
the surface of the surround and
that of the cabinet. The diagram
on the right shows the correct
position for the foam rubber strip.
Take great care when fitting it to
ensure that it does not project

beyond the outside edge of the
frame.

4.3 Fitting the fixing clips

Fit the fixing clips in all the points
marked with an arrow. The clips
fix the hob an ensure that it is
centred correctly.

To fit the clips to the hob, simply
press them gently horizontally into
the groove provided (fig. A).
Then turn them upwards to fix
them permanently in place (fig. B).

4.4 Fitting the hob into the hole in the work-top

Take special care when fitting the hob into the work-top. If the procedures are not
carried out correctly, exactly as described, the hob may be damaged.

Before fitting the hob, remove
the pan stands (if fitted) and the
burners from the hob.

When fitting the hob, first rest the
surround entirely on the back
edge of the hole in the work-top.
Do not apply leverage to the
surround; since this part is very
delicate there is a risk of
damaging it.
Then lower the front of the hob
until the appliance is completely in
place.
