2. Fitting the appliance in the top
The procedures required below must be carried out by a skilled builder and/or joiner.
The hob can be installed on various materials, including masonry, metal, solid wood
and wood finished with plastic laminates, provided the material is heat-resistant
(T 90° C).
2.1 Fixing to the supporting structure
Make a hole in the cabinet top with the dimensions shown here, maintaining a
distance of at least 50 mm from the rear edge. This appliance may be installed
against walls higher than the worktop surface, provided the distance "X" shown here is
maintained, in order to prevent damage due to overheating. Make sure that there is at
least 750 mm between the hob burners and a shelf or hood (if any) placed vertically
above them.
(*: 6 Burner Hob, UR2 at Side)
If the hob is installed above a cupboard with doors, a separator panel must be
installed underneath it. Leave a gap of at least 10 mm between the bottom of the hob
and the surface of the panel, which must be easily removable to allow sufficient
access for any servicing procedures.
Installation of an oven without cooling fan underneath the hob is forbidden.
In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a separating panel has to
be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of
10 mm between the bottom of
the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be easily removable to allow access
in the event of technical service.
