Kuppersbusch EKI8340.2 Manuel D'instructions page 38

 The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 75 °C.
 The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
 Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
 To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
 If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
 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 given to
applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting
furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work
top surfaces.
 The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance
minimum of 760 mm.
 The connection cord should not be subjected, after building-in, to any mechanical
constraint (for instance constraint given by a drawer installed below).

WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance 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.
Ventilation
 The cooktop ventilation can be improved by adding an opening in kitchen furniture back
wall, just under the cut out of the worktop.
 The front cross member of the furniture must be fined down on the whole width of the cut
out, in order to allow an air passage under the worktop.
 Any cross beneath the worktop must be removed if it is located partly or totally into the cut
out area .
 When building-in the cooktop, make sure not to obstruct the openings foreseen in the
casing of the hob. These holes are necessary for an efficient ventilation of the appliance.
 Avoid any excessive heating under the cooktop, eg related to a poorly ventilated and/or
insulated oven.
 If the induction hob is installed over a pyrolytic oven, it cannot be used as long as the
pyrolytic function is activated.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
 The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be
entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which
respects them scrupulously.
 Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after the building-in.
 The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the
connection box.
 The connection to the main must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit
breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm.
 The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example:
circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
 If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be
incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
 The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob
or even.
