18.1 Safe installation
Follow these safety instructions when in-
stalling the appliance.
¡ Electrical connection must only be carried
out by licensed specialist staff. Incorrect
connection will invalidate the warranty.
¡ The safe operation of this appliance can
only be guaranteed if it has been installed
to a professional standard in accordance
with these installation instructions. The in-
staller shall be liable for any damage result-
ing from incorrect installation.
18.4 Preparing the units
The worktop must be level, horizontal and stable.
¡ The fitted units, including wall finishing strips, must
be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C.
¡ Niche cladding within 50 mm of the back wall must
not be combustible (e.g. tiles, stone).
18.5 Installing fixing rails
For stone work surfaces, bond the fixing rails in place.
¡ The hob can also be installed in an existing cut-out
that has a depth of 500 mm.
18.2 Built-under
Do not install refrigerators, dishwashers, non-ventilated
ovens or washing machines underneath the appliance.
¡ If you fit an oven below the appliance, the worktop
must be at least 20 mm thick, in certain cases even
thicker. Observe the information in the oven installa-
tion instructions.
¡ Make sure that projecting parts such as the mains
housing or the mains cable do not collide, e.g. with
a drawer.
18.3 Intermediate floor
If the underside of the hob can be touched, an interme-
diate floor must be fitted.
¡ Ask your specialist retailer for an intermediate floor
as an accessory.
¡ If you use your own intermediate floor, the minimum
distance to the mains connection of the appliance
must be 10 mm.
¡ Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant.
This prevents the worktop from swelling as a result
of moisture.
