INSTALLATION

Check the appliance is electrically safe when you have finished.

Positioning the Hob

The hob should be fitted into a work surface, which is at least 
600mm deep. In position, it has a maximum thickness of 5mm 
from the top of the work surface. The cut-out dimensions are 
shown in (Fig.5-1) and the minimum clearances in  
(Fig.5-2). The minimum recommended distances from the 
hob to nearby surfaces are shown in (Fig.5-3).

Any hob hood should be installed in accordance with the 
hood manufacturer’s instructions.

Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of the hob 
should be heat, splash and steam resistant. Certain types of 
vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to 
heat damage and discolouration.

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by 
normal use of the hob to any material that de-laminates 
or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C above room 
temperature.

For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately 
behind the hob.

Fixing the Hob

The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid 
from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with 
the hob.

Carefully follow these instructions to correctly apply the 
seal: Turn the hob over and place in on a secure, level 
surface. Detach the seal from the backing, checking that the 
transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Carefully 
position the seal along the edge of the hob. Take special care 
in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the 
strips must fit together without overlapping.

If the surface that the hob is to be fitted to is tiled or is not 
reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof 
silicone sealant may be required.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in the 
worktop cut-out.

Secure the hob to the worktop using the brackets supplied. 
The positioning of the bracket is dependent on the thickness 
of the worktop as shown in (Fig.5-4).

Note: Slide the optional sleeve onto the bracket if fitting to 
thin work surfaces.

Locate the bracket to the slot on the hob base and then 
tighten the retaining screw until it is locked to the worktop.
