Frequently Asked Questions - SPG6075AZ SMEG

How do I install the Smeg SPG6075AZ splashback?

First, ensure the surface is flat, non-porous, dry and dust-free. Use 2 mm spacers to create a gap. Remove the adhesive backing and press firmly. Seal the edges with Low Modular Neutral Cure Silicone and let it cure for 2-3 hours before removing spacers.

What type of silicone should I use?

Only use Low Modular Neutral Cure Silicone that complies with BS 5889 A. Other adhesives may damage the glass finish.

Can I cut the glass splashback to size?

No, the glass is pre-cut and should not be modified. Drilling requires a suitably trained person with correct machinery. Always check dimensions before installation.

How to clean the glass splashback?

Use hot water with a mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners as they can scratch the surface.

Is the splashback heat resistant?

Yes, tempered glass splashbacks are heat resistant, but avoid direct contact with extremely hot pans or flames. Maintain a 2 mm gap and use spacers to prevent heat transfer to the worktop.

Can I drill into the splashback?

Drilling should only be done by a professional with specialized equipment. The product is fragile and corners are especially susceptible to cracking.

What if the glass cracks?

If the glass cracks, replace the panel immediately. Contact Smeg for a replacement glass panel. Do not use the product until replaced.

Can I install the splashback over existing tiles?

Yes, if the tile surface is flat, non-porous, dry and dust-free. Use extra silicone to fill any uneven gaps, but ensure a maximum 5 mm variation.

How long does the silicone take to cure?

Follow the silicone manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, initial set takes 2-3 hours, and full cure up to 24 hours. Do not use the appliance until fully cured.

Does the splashback come with a template?

No template is included. You must measure the area precisely before ordering. Use a tape measure and check dimensions as shown in the assembly guide.

IMPORTANT

Unfitted glass is fragile. Do not place on hard surfaces prior to fitting. Special care should be taken with the corners of the product as impact will cause the product to crack.

CHECK LIST

• Do you have everything you need to start the job?
• Check that the splashback / upstands fits.
• Is it the right colour?
• Ensure that your worktop is fitted securely.
• Check that your worktop is level.
• Clear all dust from the worktop.

- Ensure that your hob is fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

- Make sure that your extractor is securely fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

DO NOT

• Fit the splashback / upstands directly onto a hob or work surface - use spacers.
• Place the splashback / upstands on its edge or on any hard surface during the fitting process.
• Use the product until the silicone has cured (follow the manufacturer's instructions).

To prevent product failures ensure that:

• All fitting steps are completed.
• A space of 2mm is left between the product and all surfaces. The gaps must be filled with silicone.
• The surface to which the product is applied is flat, variations in level in excess of 5mm should be packed with silicone prior to fitting.
• You do not use any form of adhesive other than silicone as certain adhesives will degrade the finish of the glass.

SAFE HANDLING OF GLASS

All products are supplied with a safety packing but we recommend that glass is handled with care and in particular eye protection and suitable gloves should be worn.
