Installation

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 on wood/laminated worktops 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.

These hobs have a seal underneath them to keep the hob securely in position. Clamps are not required. Any gap between the frame and worktop will reduce with time.

Installing the hob

￿Feed the hob 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 corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop surface, the corner radius (￿ R4) can be carefully scribed to fit.

￿Connect the hob to the mains.

￿Check that the hob works.
