Hotpoint EV302X manual Installation, Very important

Installation

These instructions are intended for the qualified technician installing the appliance in order to insure that the installation, adjustments and maintenance procedures are performed correctly and comply with the regulations currently in effect.

Important: the hob must be disconnected from the power supply before making any adjustments or performing any maintenance, etc.

Installing built-in hobs

The hob has a type X protection rating against overheating in compliance with regulation CEI 335-2-6. Therefore, the hob cannot be installed alongside of cabinets which are higher than the surface of the hob itself. The following precautionary measures should be observed in order to ensure proper installation:

a)Hoods must be installed in compliance with the required specifications contained in the instruction manual for the hood itself.

b)The built-in ceramic hob can be installed on any counter top as long as it is 600 mm or more in width and resistant to temperatures of up to 100°C. The dimensions and the position of the hole are shown below.

These measurements must absolutely be observed in so far as improper installation can cause the surrounding surface areas to overheat. It is recommended that the hob be installed at a distance of at least 55 mm from the back wall or other vertical surfaces to ensure that the air circulates properly over the cooking area and to avoid overheating the surrounding surfaces. A seal or gasket is provided with the hob, make sure that it adheres properly to the bottom part of the frame of the hob.

The seal must fit properly around the entire hob frame and especially along the corners in order to create a seal between the work top and the hob itself so as to prevent spills or splashes from leaking into the cabinet below.

The hob must be fixed into the worktop using the fixing clamps - see diagram.

Very important

It is essential to install the hob on a totally flat surface. Any damage caused by incorrect fitting may alter the characteristics or impair performance.

Insert the hob into the hole, pressing firmly around the frame to make it adhere to the counter top.

Note: If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, it is preferable that the oven be installed in such a way that it is set on two strips of wood; if the oven is installed on a continuous base, there must be an opening in the back of at least 45 x 560 mm.

The built-in oven must be equipped with a forced air cooling system.
