INSTALLATION Important Information It is important when installing front control gas hobs, that the work top cut out is the same as is quoted in this installation manual. If the cut out is too large, then batons must be fitted to the front, rear and sides - to correct the discrepancy and ensure the correct fit. Please ensure that if batons are fitted they are level with the top surface of the work top Please ensure that the seal for the hob has full contact with the work top surface.
INSTALLATION Fit the hob into the cutout & secure to worktop Place the hob into the cutout and secure in place using the four brackets and screws provided. The brackets should be orientated to suit the worktop thickness as shown, then inserted into the four slots (two on the front edge and two on the rear) and screwed into the underside of the worktop using the woodscrews provided. The screws should be tightened just sufficiently to secure the hob and pull the top pressing flush with the worktop.

If the worktop is a composite type (backed with MDF or similar) there may be enough backing to screw directly into. This will depend on the worktop thickness and backing thickness and will have to be assessed at the installation. In this case, install the hob as for a standard worktop. 2.
