 Ensure that there is a distance of 40 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
 The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.
 The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 75 °C.
 The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
 Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
 To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
 If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
 Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given
to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
 The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance
minimum of 760 mm.
 The connection cord should not be subjected, after building-in, to any mechanical
constraint (for instance constraint given by a drawer installed below).
 WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance
or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or
hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
Ventilation
 The cooktop ventilation can be improved by adding an opening in kitchen furniture back
wall, just under the cut out of the worktop.
 The front cross member of the furniture must be fined down on the whole width of the cut
out, in order to allow an air passage under the worktop.
 Any cross beneath the worktop must be removed if it is located partly or totally into the cut
out area .
 When building-in the cooktop, make sure not to obstruct the openings foreseen in the
casing of the hob. These holes are necessary for an efficient ventilation of the appliance.
 Avoid any excessive heating under the cooktop, eg related to a poorly ventilated and/or
insulated oven.
 If the induction hob is installed over a pyrolytic oven, it cannot be used as long as the
pyrolytic function is activated.
