2 POSITIONING OF THE HOB
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must
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 (T 90°C).
2.1 Attachment to support structure, traditional built-in
model (fig. 1)
Create an opening with the
dimensions shown in the
figure in the work surface,
observing a minimum
distance of 50 mm from the
rear edge.
This appliance can be
installed next to walls that are
higher than the work surface,
as long as the distance "X" is
kept between the appliance
and the wall, as shown in the
1)
figure, to avoid damage from overheating. Make sure there is a minimum
of 750 mm between the gas rings and any shelf that may be installed
directly above them.
Carefully position the gasket provided all around the outer edge of the
hole in the work surface as shown in figure 2, pressing it down lightly to
ensure it adheres properly. The front and rear sides of the gasket must
skim the hole. Having done this, place the hob on top of the gasket and
using the screws and fixing brackets “C” or “D” (depending on the depth
of the worktop – Fig.4) secure the hob to the support structure, ensuring
it is level. The brackets “C” secure the hob to a structure having a depth
of 20 to 30 mm. The brackets “D” on the other hand, are for use with
worktops having a depth of 30 to 50 mm.
Carefully trim any excess from edge “A” (Fig.3) of the gasket. The
distances in figure 2 refer to the hole on the inner side of the gasket.
