The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.
The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
Do not install the hob above a unventilated oven.
To ensure a good air circulation, allow a space of 20mm under the bottom of the hob
casing
.
Warning: For the safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood consult the
instructions supplied by the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions a
distance minimum of 760 mm is recommended.
If a drawer is located under the hob, do not store flammable (e.g. aerosol sprays) or non
heat- resistant items inside.
Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given
to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket guarantees a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
The connection cord should be secured after building, with no mechanical constraint, for
example example: a drawer.
