to prevent damage due to
overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate flames
and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.
Carefully position the insulation gasket (supplied) on the external
perimeter of the hole made in the top surface (see figures below) and try
to make it stick to the entire surface by applying light pressure with your
hands. Refer to the coordinates shown in the figure, bearing in mind that
sides A should be adjacent to the hole. Secure the hob to the counter
