Instructions for the Installer

8. FITTING THE APPLIANCE

8.1 Fitting the appliance in the top

This appliance is in class 3. 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).

8.1.1 Installing to a traditional built-in structure

Make a hole in the cabinet top with the dimensions shown here,

maintaining a distance of at least 110 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 any shelving placed vertically above them.

CAUTION: IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A HOB WITH FISH BURNER, THE

DISTANCE "X" FROM THE REAR WALL INCREASES FROM 110 mm TO

300 mm.

Fit the insulating gasket provided carefully around the outside edge of the

hole made in the top, pressing it down with your hands so that its entire

surface fits snugly. Now place the 12 brackets supplied to secure the top to

the supporting structure. See point "6.2 Securing the appliance to the

cabinet"
