INSTALLATION

Recommendations

Important: Disconnect the hob from the mains before carrying
out any installation work or servicing.

• All electrical connections must be made before connecting the
appliance to the power supply.

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in
compliance with local regulations.

• Unpack the hob and make sure that the appliance has not been
damaged during transport. If you are not sure contact the

dealer or the nearest service centre.

Preparing the housing unit

• Cut the worktop to fit before installing the appliance. Carefully
remove any shavings or sawdust that could prevent the
appliance from running properly.

Attention: to install the cooktop on other surfaces than wood
(plastic, ceramic, marble, stone, etc.) remember to ask After Sales
Service for the fixing plates (fig. 6).

• The hob must be fitted in a worktop with a minimum thickness
of 20 mm and a maximum of 50 mm.

• There must be nothing between the hob and the oven
(e.g. cables, insulating material, etc.).

• An adjacent column unit must be installed at least 100 mm
from the edge of the hob.

• Cut an opening in the worktop of the given dimensions.

• We recommend you seal the internal edges of the worktop
with wood glue or silicone.

• If not already in place, apply the supplied seal to the hob,
after cleaning the adhesive surface thoroughly.

Glass-ceramic hob

Important: remove any protective film before installing the
hob.

Make sure that that the opening in the worktop for the hob is cut
according to the dimensions given in the drawing, paying attention to
the tolerance range.
The hob should not be forced into the worktop. Forcing the glass­ceramic top may cause it to crack (even at a later date)!

• If the worktop is made of wood, use the appropriate
brackets, spring clips and screws provided.

• Position the 4 clips (A), if not alreay fitted, around the cooktop
frame, in the slots provided, see Fig. 1.

• Measure the centre of the vertical sides of the cut out a shown
in Fig. 2.

• Position the centre of the brackets (C) on the centre of the
side previously identified.

worktop surface.

into the pre-prepared holes.

• Insert the cook hob into the pre-prepared hole ensuring that
the clips (A) lodge into the bracket slots provided
(C Fig. 4 and 5).

the oven (F) matching the colours and alignment of the housing
guides visible on the top of the connectors.
