Damage from falling objects.Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehoodabove it.Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.

The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchenunits) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which willnot dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistantmaterial as well.

The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.

A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fatfryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essentialto maintain a distance of at least 300 mm between these twoappliances.

When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose andelectrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hotappliance parts.

The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must beinstalled in such a way so that they do not come into contact withany moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot becometrapped.

This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation withaftermarket lids or covers fitted.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobileinstallations (e.g. on a ship).

Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the followingpages.All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Safety distances

Preparing the worktop Create the worktop cut-out as shown

in “Building-in dimensions”.Remember to maintain the minimumsafety distances (see “Safetydistances”).

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitableheat-resistant sealant to avoidswelling caused by moisture. Thesealant must be temperature-resistant.

Make sure the sealant does notcome into contact with the topsurface of the worktop.

The sealing strip ensures that thecooktop will sit securely in the cut-outwithout slipping. Any gap between theframe and worktop will becomesmaller over time.

Installing the cooktop Feed the mains connection cable

down through the worktop cut-out.

Place the cooktop centrally in thecut-out. When doing this make surethat the seal of the appliance sitsflush with the worktop on all sides.This is important to ensure aneffective seal all round.

If the seal does not meet the worktopcorrectly on the corners, the cornerradii (≤ R4) can be carefully scribed tosuit.

Do not use any additional sealant(e.g. silicone).

Connect the cooktop to the mainselectricity supply.

Connect the cooktop to the gassupply (see “Gas connection”).
