Safety instructions for installation
Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.
Danger of electric shock!
Incorrect connection to the power supply may result in an electric shock.
The cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified electrician.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood
above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.
The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material.
The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
After installation, ensure that nothing can come into contact with
the connection cable and that it is without hindrance.
The connection cable may not come into contact with any moving
kitchen component (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical
obstruction which could damage it.
Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

Safety distances
Safety distance above the cooktop
The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the rangehood must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance 600 mm must
be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, observe the greatest
specified safety distance.
Minimum safety distance underneath
the cooktop
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a minimum distance must be
left between the underside of the
cooktop and any oven, interim shelf or
drawer.
The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and
- the top edge of an oven: 25mm
- the top edge of an interim shelf:
25mm
- the top edge of a drawer: 5mm
- the base of a drawer: 75mm

Safety distances to the sides and
back of the appliance
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
edge of the cooktop and a tall unit or
wall.
Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.

Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.

Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

Surface-mounted installation
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces of wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Do not apply the sealing strip under
tension.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal with the worktop.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radius (≤ R4) can be carefully scribed
to suit.
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Check that the cooktop works.

Installation notes –
flush-fit
A flush-fit cooktop is suitable only for
installation in natural stone (granite,
marble), solid wood and tiled
worktops. When using a worktop
made from any other material, please
check first with the worktop
manufacturer that it is suitable for
installing a flush-mounted cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Installation dimensions –
Flush”), so that the cooktop is easily
accessible from underneath after
installation and the bottom half of the
casing can be removed for
maintenance. If the underside of the
cooktop is not freely accessible after
installation, any sealant used to plug
the gaps around the appliance must
be removed to enable the cooktop to
be lifted out of the cut-out should this
be necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The cooktop is placed directly in the
cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops
The cooktop is placed on a wooden
frame inside the cut-out. The frame
must be provided on site and is not
supplied with the appliance.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.
