Instructions for assembly

Note

The KÜPPERSBUSCH induction hob may only be built-in in accordance to the instructions included in this manual: In case of a failure to observe these instructions, KÜPPERS- BUSCH shall decline any liability and the approved marks of conformity become invalid!

Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters

•Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furni- ture must be temperature resistant (>75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are not sufficiently heat resistant they can become deformed.

•Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated when installing the hob.

•Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible as long as mini- mum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams are maintained.

•Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the rear are to be maintained in accordance with the installation diagram.

•For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety dis- tance of at least 40 mm must be ensured. The side surface of the tall cupboard should be fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working requirements, however, the distance should be at least 300 mm.

•The clearance between the hob and an extraction hood must be at least as large as that stipulated in the assembly instruc- tions for the cooker hood.

•The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are poten- tially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.

Ventilation

•The back wall of the bottom cabinet must be open in the area of the cut-out in order to provide for air circulation.

•The front transverse strip of the unit must be removed so that an air flow opening of at least 7 mm is created below the work- top across the full width of the appliance.

•Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.

•Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen furniture or built-in units must provide for sufficient ventilation of the induc- tion hob.

•Avoid excessive thermal development from below e.g. from a baking oven without a cross flow cooling device.

•The induction hob may not be used when pyrolysis operation is taking place in a built-in oven.

Installation

Important

•If the cooking surface is located above furniture parts (side panels, drawers, etc.), then an intermediate shelf must be inserted at a minimum distance of 20 mm in order to prevent accidental contact with the underside of the cooking surface. The intermediate shelf may only be removed with tools.

•To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure to heat are placed directly next to or above the hob.

Sealing of the hob

Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit delivered with the hob.

•No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and come into con- tact with any electrical appliances.

•When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g. with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal on the hob is to be removed and the seal between the hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials (putty).

•The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with sili- cone sealant! This would make it impossible to remove the hob at a later date without damaging it.

Working surface cut-out

Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good, straight saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.

The area is cut out as illustrated.

The glass ceramic hob must have a level and flush bearing. Any distortion may lead to fracture of the glass panel.

Make sure that the sealing of the hob is properly seated.

The glass ceramic hob is fastened with clips or with brackets.
