• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The ventilation distance between the plate base and the upper section of a
ventilated oven must be at least 20mm. The separation distance for non-forced
ventilation ovens mus be greater in accordance with the oven manufacturer's
recommendations.
• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.

furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
• Do not install the hob at the top of a non ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• Ensure under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure good air
circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the hob, avoid putting into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or non heat-resistant objects. Take care when placing metal objects
such as cooking pans or cutlery as these may overheat and cause burns
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be taken
when applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket ensures a good seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must comply with the
recommendations of the hood manufacturer. In the case of no instructions, a distance of
760 mm minimum should apply.
• The connection cord should not be subjected to any mechanical constraint.

or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or
hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
