Installation 5.2 Section cut from the countertop The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (>90°C). 5.1 Safety instructions Heat production during appliance operation Risk of fire • Check that the carcase material is heat resistant.
Installation Hob seal Hobs with a straight edge To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the countertop, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer edge of the hob before assembly. For this kind of hobs additional milling is needed in the recessed hole if you wish to install the hob flush with the work surface. Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob, if necessary, without damaging it.
Installation To ensure the hob is fixed and centred as accurately as possible, the clips provided must be positioned as described below: 1. Fit the clips by gently pressing them horizontally into the appropriate space. A min. 50 B min. 460 C min. 750 D 20-60 E min. 50 2. Then turn them upwards to fix them in place. After laying the adhesive seal (A) on the glass surface and after positioning and securing the hob, fill the edges with insulating silicone (B) and wipe away any excess.
Installation Fixing brackets 5.3 Mounting • Screw the fixing brackets into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure. Over built-in oven unit The clearance between the hob and the kitchen furniture or other installed appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge. If installed above an oven, a space must be left between the bottom of the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.
Installation If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges under the hob, a double-layer wooden base must be installed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must only be possible to remove the double-layer base by using suitable tools. opens on bottom 5.4 Electrical connection Power voltage Danger of electrocution • Have the electrical connection performed by authorised technical personnel.
Installation General information Check the grid characteristics against the data indicated on the plate. The identification plate bearing the technical data, serial number and brand name is visibly positioned on the appliance. Do not remove this plate for any reason. Perform the ground connection using a wire that is 20 mm longer than the other wires. The diagram below illustrates the power supply terminal from below, with no cables connected. Terminals 4 and 5 must be connected at all times.
Installation Fixed connection Fit the power line with an omnipolar circuit breaker in compliance with installation regulations. The circuit breaker should be located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position. 4 x 4 mm² four-core cable. Run the power cable in the rear part of the unit. Make sure that it does not come into contact with the lower part of the hob or a builtin oven below it. • 220-240 V 3~ Be careful when connecting additional electrical appliances.
