Instructions for the installer

11.4 Hob seal

Before installing, check that the hob seal is

attached properly.

• Ensure that no liquid gets between the frame of the hob and the work surface, or between the hob and the wall, as it could then fall onto appliances below.

• If the hob is installed into a work surface which is not flat, e.g. ones with ceramic or similar coverings (tiles, etc.), any seal on the hob must be removed and the cooking surface must be sealed using plastic sealant.

Do not fix the hob using silicon as this would make it impossible to uninstall the hob, if necessary, without damaging it.

11.5 Section cut from the work surface

• Cut the work surface precisely, using a good, straight saw blade or a vertical milling cutter. The surfaces of the cut area must then be sealed to prevent the ingress of moisture.

The area for the hob must

be cut out in accordance with the appropriate designs.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface must be perfectly horizontal and perfectly sealed. Installing it under tension could lead to the plate breaking.

Check that the hob seal is attached properly.

The hob should be fixed in place using clips or tongues.
