Rangemaster RI77 manual Positioning the Hob, Fixing the Hob

INSTALLATION

Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.

Positioning the Hob

The hob should be fitted into a work surface, which is at least 600mm deep. In position, the hob has a maximum thickness of 5mm from the top of the work surface, and an overall thickness of 45mm (65mm max depth including the connection block). The cut-out dimensions are shown in (Fig.5-1), and the minimum clearances in (Fig.5-2).

Note: If installing the hob over a standard cabinet, you may have to remove part of the cabinet panels to allow the unit to fit correctly.

It is recommended that there is a minimum air gap of 100cm² underneath the hob to allow sufficient air circulation to the unit.

It is recommended that the hob be installed in a worktop with a minimum thickness of 40mm. If installing a built-in oven directly under the hob then there should be a minimum air gap of 20mm between the oven and the bottom of the hob.

Failure to maintain a suitable clearance may impair the performance of the hob.

ArtNo.315-0031 - RC77 cut-out dimensions

The minimum recommended distances from the hob to nearby surfaces are shown in (Fig.5-3).

Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the hob.

Fixing the Hob

The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with the hob.

Carefully follow these instructions to correctly apply the seal: Turn the hob over and place in on a secure, level surface. Detach the seal from the backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Carefully position the seal along the edge of the hob. Take special care in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping.

If the surface that the hob is to be fitted to is tiled or is not reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof silicone sealant may be required.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in the worktop cut-out.
