The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.

His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

2mm 2 3 5

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:

• The cut out sizes are:

Glass-size	Cut-size
780 x 520 mm	750 x 490 mm

- Ensure that there is a distance of 50 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 100 °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 be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer.
