instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and
animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms
in accordance with current national regulations. The following requirements
must be observed:

The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:
• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the
hob must be at least 200 mm from the edge of the hob.

the Outside
The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an
inner cross section of at least 100 cm
opening must not be vulnerable to any type
of blockages.
The system can also provide the air needed for
combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms
fitted with air circulation tubes as described
above. However, these rooms must not be
communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that
may present a fire hazard.

• The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure.
Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that
are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened

! Use the hooks contained in the "accessory pack".
• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel must
be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of
20 mm from the lower part of the hob.
Ventilation
To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be
removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of
wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560
mm (see diagrams).
If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet,
the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700
mm above the hob.
