Instructions for the installer
Installing a domestic appliance can be a
complicated operation which if not carried
out correctly, can seriouslyaffect consumer
safety. It is for this reason that the task
should be undertaken by a professionally
qualifiedperson who will carry it out in
accordance with the technical regulations in
force. In the event that this advice isignored
and the installation is carried out by an
unqualified person, the manufacturer
declines all responsibility for any technical
failure of the product whether or not it
results in damage to goods or injury to
individuals.
BUILDING IN
The hob may be installed in any worktop which is
heat resistant to a temperature of 100°C, and
has a thickness of 25-45 mm. The dimensions
of the insert to be cut out of the worktop are in
shown in Figure 2*.
When there is an accessible space between the
built-in hob and the cavity below, a dividing wall
made of insulating material should be inserted
(wood or a similar material) (Figure 3*).
If the Hob is fitted next to a cabinet on either
side, the distance between the cut out and the
cabinet must be at least 170 mm for 60 cm
hobs and 250 mm for 75 cm hobs (see Figure
2*); while the distance between the hob and the
rear wall must be at least 70 mm for frontal
control hobs and 50 mm for lateral control hobs.
The distance between the hob and any other
unit or appliance above it (e.g. An extractor hood)
must be no less than 700 mm (Figure 4*).
Metal objects in the drawer may reach high
temperatures due to air recirculation. It is
therefore recommended to use an intermediate
wood panel.
Important - The diagram in Figure 1* shows
how the sealant should be applied.
The Hob unit is fitted by attaching the Fixing
Clamps supplied, using the holes at the base of
the unit.
When a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven,
the latter must be fan cooled.
When a 60 cm hob is fitted over a built in oven,
the latter must be fan cooled.

SUITABLELOCATION
This appliance must be installed in accordance
with the regulations in force and only used in a
well ventilated space. Read the instructions
before installing or using this appliance.
A gas-powered cooking appliance produces
heat and humidity in the area in which it is
installed. For this reason you should ensure
good ventilation either by keeping all natural air
passages open or by installing an extractor
hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive and
prolonged use of the appliance may require
extra ventilation, such as the opening of a
window or an increase in speed of the electric
fan, if you have one.
If a hood can not be installed, an electric fan
should be fitted to an outside wall or window to
ensure that there is adequate ventilation.
The electric fan should be able to carry out a
complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5 times
every hour. The installer should follow the
relevant national standards.
