Positioning the Hob

��

The hob should be ﬁtted into a work surface, which is at

��

least 600mm deep. In position, the hob has a maximum

��

thickness of 5mm from the top of the work surface, and an

overall thickness of 45mm (65mm max depth including the

connection block). The cut-out dimensions are shown in

��

(Fig.5-1), and the minimum clearances in (Fig.5-2).

��

Note: If installing the hob over a standard cabinet, you may

have to remove part of the cabinet panels to allow the unit to

��

ﬁt correctly.

��

The minimum recommended distances from the hob to

nearby surfaces are shown in (Fig.5-3).

Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the

hood manufacturer’s instructions.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob

��

should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of

ArtNo.315-0031 - RC77 cut-out dimensions

vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to

heat damage and discolouration.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by

normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates

or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room

��

temperature.

��

For safety reasons curtains must not be ﬁtted immediately

��

behind the hob.

��

Fixing the Hob

The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid

from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with

the hob.

Carefully follow these instructions to correctly apply the

Fig.5-3

seal: Turn the hob over and place in on a secure, level

surface. Detach the seal from the backing, checking that the

transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Carefully

position the seal along the edge of the hob. Take special care

in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the

strips must ﬁt together without overlapping.

��

If the surface that the hob is to be ﬁtted to is tiled or is not

reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof

silicone sealant may be required.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in the

worktop cut-out.

��

Secure the hob to the worktop using the brackets supplied.

The positioning of the bracket (and sleeve) is dependent on

��

the thickness of the worktop as shown in (Fig.5-4).

Note: Slide the optional sleeve onto the bracket if ﬁtting to thin work surfaces.

Locate the bracket to the slot on the hob base and then tighten the retaining screw until it is locked to the worktop.
