Safety instructions for installation
Damage risk from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the hob.
The hob must only be installed by a qualified person.
Risk of electric shock.
Incorrect connection to the mains supply may result in an electric shock.
The hob must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified person only.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the hob when fitting wall units or a cooker hood above
it.
Fit the wall units and the cooker hood before the hob.
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 backmoulds must be of heat-resistant
material.
The hob 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 electrical 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.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

Safety distances
Safety distance above the hob
The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the cooker hood must
be maintained between the hob and the
cooker hood above it.
If combustible objects are installed
above the hob (e.g., cabinets, utensil
rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of
600mm must be maintained.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a cooker
hood, you should observe the
greatest specified safety distance.

Safety distances to the sides and
back of the appliance
It is advisable to install the hob with
plenty of space either side of it.
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
of the hob and a tall unit or wall.
The minimum distance , shown
below must be maintained between a
tall unit or a wall to the left or right of
the hob with a minimum distance of
300mm on the opposite side.
Minimum distance between the back
of the worktop cut-out and the rear
edge of the worktop:
50mm
Minimum distance between the
worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to
the right of it:
70mm.
Minimum distance between the
worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to
the left of it:
50mm.

Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the hob but one may be
fitted if you wish.
If an interim shelf is fitted under the
hob, there must be a minimum gap of
110 mm between the top of the
worktop and the top of the shelf.
A gap of 10mm should be left at the
back of the shelf to accommodate the
cable. For hobs with an external mains
connection box, this gap must be at
least 30mm.

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional
niche cladding
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and
any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum
safety distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and the
cladding.
If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural
stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the cut-out and the
cladding will be 50 mm less the thickness of the cladding.
Example: 15 mm niche cladding
50mm - 15mm = minimum safety distance of 35mm

Installation notes
Seal between the hob and the
worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the hob could
result in damage to the hob and the
worktop if the hob ever needs to be
removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the hob
and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the hob provides a sufficient seal for
the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the hob.
Tiled worktops
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the hob frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not the
hob will not sit flush with the worktop
and the sealing strip underneath the
hob will not provide a good seal
between the hob and the worktop.

Surface-mounted installation
Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Installation –
Safety distances”).
Wooden worktops
Seal any cut surfaces on wooden
worktops with a special varnish,
silicone sealant or resin to prevent the
wood from swelling as a result of
moisture ingress. The sealant must
be heat-resistant.
Make sure that the sealant does not
come into contact with the top of the
worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures
that the hob will sit securely in the cut-
out without slipping. Any gap between
the appliance frame and worktop will
become smaller over time.
Secure the spring clamps
The exact positioning of the spring
clamps is shown in the individual hob
diagrams.
Wooden worktops
Position the spring clamps on the
top edge of the cut-out as shown in
the hob illustration.
Fasten the spring clamps using the
3.5x25mm wood screws supplied
with the appliance.

Installation
*INSTALLATION*
Natural stone worktops
You will need heavy duty double-sided
adhesive tape (not included with the
hob) to fasten the spring clamps.
Attach the adhesive tape along the
top edge of the cut-out in the
positions shown in the hob
illustration.
Position the spring clamps on the top
edge of the cut-out and press them
firmly into place.
Coat the side edges and the lower
edges of the spring clamps with
silicone.
Install the hob
Feed the mains connection cable for
the hob down through the worktop
cut-out.
Position the hob in the worktop cut-
out.
Using both hands, press down evenly
on the sides of the hob until it clicks
into position. 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 all round.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radius (≤R4) can be carefully scribed
to suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone) on the hob.
Connect the hob to the mains.
Check that the hob works.
The hob can only be removed using a
special tool.

distance of at least 3mm must be
observed in the switched-off state. The
disconnecting devices are overcurrent
protection devices and residual current
protection devices.
