one side only, either to the right or left. Any adjacent cabinet must be no less than 50 mm from the
edge of the hob.

If the hob is to be installed beneath a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet, ensure there is a minimum
clearance of 760 mm between the worktop and the underside of the cabinet.
It is good practice to isolate the appliance from the cupboard below in the kitchen unit by means of
a separator, leaving a well space of at least 10 mm in depth. (fig. 2).
If the hob is installed over an oven, precautions must be taken to guarantee installation in
accordance accident prevention standards. Pay particular attention to the position of the electric
cable and gas supply hose: they must not touch any hot parts of the oven. Moreover, if the hob is
installed over an oven without a forced cooling system, to ensure adequate ventilation air vents
must be provided with lower intake surface area of at least 200 cm
2 and upper outlet surface area
of at least 60 cm 2 .
