Hob with frame or bevelled edge

Installing the hob

Preparing the worktop

￿Make the worktop cut-out according to the dimensions given in the building-in diagram. Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (see "Safety instructions for installation").

￿Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.

Make sure that the sealant does not come into contact with the top of the worktop.

No spring clamps are needed to install the hob. The seal underneath the hob will hold it securely on the worktop.

Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.

Installing the hob

￿Feed the mains connection cable down through the cut-out.

￿Place the hob centrally in the cut-out. When doing this, make sure that the seal under the hob sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all round. Do not use sealant (e.g. silicone).

If the seal does not meet the worktop correctly on the corners the corner radius (￿ R4) can be carefully scribed to suit.

￿Connect the hob to the mains.

￿Check that the hob works.

Connecting the mains cable to the appliance

The mains cable must only be connected to the appliance by a qualified and competent electrician in strict accordance with current local and national safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK).

￿Follow the instructions in the wiring diagram (see "Electrical connection - Wiring diagram").
