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.

perfectly sealed. Installing it under tension could lead to the plate breaking.
