Safety instructions for kitchen unit fitters
•Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of surrounding furniture 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 minimum clearances in accordance with the installation diagrams are maintained.
•Minimum clearances of the hob
•For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety distance 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 instructions for the cooker hood.
•The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene, nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as these parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting causing suffocation.

Installation
Important
•Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop at least in the area of the worktop
•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
•When installing the appliance on top of a drawer it is essential to ensure that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since these could become bent on the underside of the hob and prevent the drawer from being opened and closed.
•If a shelf has been inserted underneath the hob, there must be a clearance of at least 20 mm to the underside of the hob in order to ensure that the hob is sufficiently ventilated.
•The hob may not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines or dryers.
•To avoid danger of fire, make sure that no combustible objects which could easily catch fire or become deformed on exposure to heat are directly next to or under the surface.
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 silicone 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.
