Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to guarantee
proper installation in compliance with the applicable norms in
force regarding accident-prevention for electrical connection.
For the correct operation of the appliance when built into the
cabinet, it is vital that the minimum distances illustrated in
Fig. 3 be respected. The hob features a type Y degree of
protection against overheating in compliance with norms. All
surfaces adjacent to the cabinet and the back panel should
be made of materials resistant to a temperature of 65°C.
Securing the appliance to the cabinet
There are three different groups of appliance as far as
installation is concerned:
85 mm
1- Built-in hobs to be slotted in (Class 3 - see figure 4,
detail H1). In this case it is necessary to make a hole in the
worktop whose measurements match those of the hob. The
measurement at the side should be reduced by 2 cm so as
to ensure that 1 cm of the perimeter of the hob overlaps with
and rests on top of the supporting surface. To slot in the hob
flush with the worktop, the cut-out on this supporting surface
must be lowered (see figure 5), so that both the edge of the
hob and the seal "X" under it can be positioned there.
Before fitting the hob to the worktop, position the seal
provided along the perimeter of the hob, as illustrated in figure
5.

2-Built-in hobs (Class 3) with edges lower than 85 mm
(see figure 4, detail H2). To install this type of hob, a hole
large enough to accommodate the whole lower casing of the
appliance must be made on the worktop intended to be under
the hob. Remember to leave a gap of at least 1 cm between
the lower casing and the worktop around the whole perimeter
of the appliance (the underside of the casing can, however,
touch the surface below it).
3-Sit-on hobs (Class 1) with edges higher than 85 mm
(see figure 4, detail H3). In this case, the lower casing of the
hob does not protrude further than the edge of the appliance.
Even when the hob is resting on the worktop, it will suffice to
leave space for the gas supply tube and electricity supply
cable.
The appliance must be fixed to the kitchen cabinets using
suitable fixing accessories (these are provided) which may
vary according to the type of installation required and the
proportions of the appliance.
N.B.: to make maintenance operations more efficient, the
area around the hob must be easily accessible after it
has been installed (i.e. there are no completely shut-off
elements).
