DIAGNOSTIC
14.1.3. - Breakage resulting from a tight assembly
A tight assembly is due to bad flush mounting of the hob in the frame, or
to bad assembly of the frame onto the hob.
This result in only few cracks, often only one, as shown by the two
drawings. Regions of contractions (jamming) can be in a. b. or c. In
some cases, cracks do not break completely the plate.
14.1.4. - Breakages due to the use of a container with a nonflat bottom
Containers with nonflat bottoms may cause a breakage. The container creates a
hot point (The small point in the drawing) which fuses together the glass and
the container itself. When one takes off the container, a piece of glass can
be removed from the top.
The overheating point can be checked on the inducer screen.
Containers with flat bottoms must be used
14.1.5. - Flush-mounted hob subjected to contractions
This type of break due to the fact that the hob is flush mounted too fit in
the kitchen furniture, more often than not when edges of the working
plane are not flat (e.g.: tiled plane).
It is typical in this type of break, that there is only one crack (a or b)
parallel to one of the plate sides and approximately in the centre of this
plate. In certain cases, the crack does not separate completely the hob.
Precautions:
- Check the flatness of the flush-mounting surface.
– Do not tight too forcefully the hob when mounting it flush.
