Installing your hob in all simplicity
The hob must be built into the work-
top of a support cupboard. This work-
top must be at least 3 cm thick and
heat-resistant or else coated with a
heat resistant material.
A side-clearance of at least 30 cm
should be left to the right and left of
the hob. A tall cupboard or partition
too close to the hob would hinder free
movement of kitchen utensils.
If a horizontal partition is put under
the hob, it must be placed between 10
and 15 cm from the bottom of the
work top. In any case, do not keep
any sprays or pressurized containers
in the compartment which could be
just under the hob.
To ensure the seal between the hob
and the worktop, affix the joint provi-
ded in the folder before installing the
hob:
1- Remove the pan support grates, the
burner caps and heads after checking
their position.
2- Turn the hob over and place it gently
over the opening in the worktop paying
attention not to damage the control
knobs and lighters.
3- Stick the foam seal around the out-
side of the hob.
4- Put the hob back the right way up
and place the burners, caps and pan
grates back in position.
