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.
min. 5 mm
In order to better ventilate the hob, an air gap of 5 mm
should be left at the front.

7.3 Installation
Important information
•
Sealing of the hob
Before installation, correctly insert the sealing unit
delivered with the hob.
•
•
•
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 induction
surface 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.
Remove any transverse strips underneath the
worktop at least in the area of the worktop cut-out.
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.
