7 Instructions for assembly
7.1 Safety instructions for kitchen unit fi tters
•
Veneers, adhesives and plastic surfaces of
surrounding furniture must be temperature resistant
(at least 75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are not
suffi ciently heat resistant they may become deformed.
•
Ensure that all live connections are safely insulated
when installing the hob.
•
Cover strips between the wall and the worktop behind
the hob which are made of solid wood are permissible
as long as minimum clearances in accordance with
the installation diagrams are maintained.
•
Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards the
rear are to be maintained in accordance with the
installation diagram.
•
For installation directly next to a tall cupboard, a safety
distance of at least 50 mm must be ensured. The
side surface of the tall cupboard should be fi tted with
heat resistant material. Due to working requirements,
however, the distance should be at least 300 mm.
•
The packaging materials (plastic foil, polystyrene,
nails etc.) must be kept out of reach of children as
these parts are potentially dangerous. Small parts can
be swallowed and there is a danger of plastic sheeting
causing suff ocation.
7.2 Ventilation
•
The induction hob is fi tted with a fan that switches
on and off automatically. The fan starts slowly when
the electronic system temperatures exceed a specifi c
limit. When the induction hob is used intensively,
the fan will switch to a greater velocity. Once the
electronic system has cooled down suffi ciently,
the fan will reduce its velocity and switch off again
automatically.
•
Clearance between the induction hob and kitchen
furniture or built-in units must provide for suffi cient
ventilation of the induction hob.
•
If the power level of a cooking zone is automatically
raised or lowered (see section on thermal cut-off
device) it is likely that the cooling system does not
cool suffi ciently. In this case we recommend that
the back wall of the bottom kitchen unit in the area
of the worktop cut-out be opened and that the front
transverse strip of the unit be removed over the
entire width of the appliance in order to promote the
circulation of air.
In order to better ventilate the hob, an air gap of 5 mm
should be left at the front.

7.3 Installation
Important information
•
Remove any transverse strips underneath the worktop
at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit
delivered with the hob.
•
No liquids may penetrate between the edge of the hob
and the worktop or between the hob and the wall and
come into contact with any electrical appliances.
•
When installing a hob into an uneven worktop, e.g.
with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles etc.), the seal
on the hob is to be removed and the seal between the
hob and worktop made with plastic sealing materials
(putty).
•
The hob must under no circumstances be sealed with
silicone sealant! This would make it impossible to
remove the hob at a later date without damaging it.
Worktop cut-out
Cut out the worktop recess accurately with a good,
straight saw blade or recessing machine. The cut edges
should then be sealed so that no moisture can penetrate.
The area is cut out as illustrated. The glass ceramic hob
must have a level and fl ush bearing. Any distortion may
lead to fracture of the glass panel. Make sure that the
sealing of the hob is properly seated.
