Installation of Built-in Hobs

The gas hob is equipped with type X degree protection against overheating. Therefore, the appliance can be installed next to cabinets,providedtheheightofthecabinetdoesnotexceedthatof the hob. For proper installation of the hob, the following guidlines must be followed:

a)If the cabinet(s) located next to the hob are higher than the hob itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed at least 110 mm from the hob edge.

b)Hoods must be installed in accordance with the instructions contained in the installation manual for the hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm from the hob.

c)In the case of the 600 mm cooker hoods, besides following the recommendations in point b), the cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 540 mm from the top since this will make it possible to install the lid and move it correctly.The cabinet should always be installed at a height from the top which allows easy use of pots and pans on the cooker.
