Instructions for the installer

6.2Fixing to the electric model support structure

Create an opening with the dimensions

 

shown in the figure in the top surface of the

 

counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50

 

mm from the rear edge.

 

The lower part of the casing must be fully

 

accessible after the appliance has been

 

installed. This appliance can be mounted

 

against walls higher than the work surface

 

on condition that a distance of "X" be kept

1)

between the appliance and the wall as

 

shown in the figure so as to avoid damage

 

from overheating.

 

Make sure that there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hob ring flames and any shelves placed directly above them (Fig. 1). Furthermore, this kind of appliance needs a milling on the hob top of 3 mm in depth; the measurements are indicated in figure 4 (detail A of figure 2).

Before positioning the hob, the supplied adhesive sponge “E” should be spread out flat over the milling surface (fig. 2). Carry out this operation by supporting the hob on the isolating seal and using screws and clamping brackets (Fig. 3 sequence) to fix the hob to the support structure, in order to obtain the complete flatness. The small brackets in figure 3 are only positioned after having mounted the hob.

If laminated surfaces are used, it is advisable to spread a layer of anti-infiltration “primer” across the milled surface.

Important: Other types of installation are possible if supervised by the manufacturer!
