ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS - worktop - base cabinet
Safety instructions for the kitchen furnitu-
re fitter
• Veneers, adhesives or plastic coverings of
adjacent furniture must be temperature-
resistant (min. 75°C). If the veneers and
coverings are not sufficiently temperature-
resistant, they may deform.
• The use of solid wood wall end strips on
the worktop behind the hob is permitted,
provided that the minimum distances are
observed in accordance with the installati-
on sketches.
• The minimum distances of the recess cut-
outs to the rear according to the installati-
on sketch must be observed.
• For installation directly next to a tall cabi-
net, a safety distance of at least 50 mm
must be maintained. The side surface of
the tall cabinet must be covered with heat-
resistant material. For technical reasons,
however, the distance should be at least
300 mm.
• The packaging materials (plastic foils, poly-
styrene, nails, etc.) must be taken out of
the reach of children, as these parts re-
present possible sources of danger.
Small parts could be swallowed and foils
pose a suffocation hazard.
Ventilation
• The induction hob has a fan that automati-
cally switches on and off. If the tempera-
ture values of the electronics exceed a
certain threshold, the fan starts at a low
speed. If the induction hob is used intensi-
vely, the fan switches to a higher speed. If
the electronics have cooled down suffi-
ciently, the fan reduces its speed and
switches off again automatically.
• The distance between the induction hob
and kitchen furniture or built-in appliances
must be chosen so that sufficient ventilati-
on of the induction is guaranteed.
Installation, important notes!
Avoid excessive heat generation from below,
e.g. from a baking oven without cross-flow fan.
• The induction hob must not be used when
pyrolysis operation takes place on built-in
cookers.
• When installing above a drawer, care must
be taken to ensure that no sharp objects
are stored in the drawer. These could tilt
on the underside of the hob and block the
drawer.
• Ensure that the cooktop inductors are
adequately ventilated.
• The cooktop must not be installed above
refrigerators, dishwashers, washing ma-
chines or dryers.
• It must be ensured that no flammable,
easily ignitable or heat deformable objects
are placed directly next to or below the
hob due to the risk of fire.
Hob gasket
Wood worktops must be sealed on the cut
surfaces.
Before installation, the enclosed cooktop
gasket must be inserted without gaps.
It must be prevented that liquids can penet-
rate between the edge of the hob and the
worktop or between the worktop and the wall
into any electrical appliances installed un-
derneath.
If the hob is installed in an uneven worktop,
e.g. with a ceramic or similar covering (tiles,
etc.), the sealing must be carried out with
level compensation of the cooking surface
against the worktop using plastic sealing
materials (e.g. Novasil® or Ottoseal® ).
Note:
If sealing adhesive is used for sealing and
fixing, a later, non-destructive removal of the
hob cannot be guaranteed.
• To ventilate the hob electronics, open the
rear wall of the base cabinet in the area of
the hob. The front crossbar of the base
cabinet must be removed over the entire
width of the hob.
• In addition, an air gap of at least 5 mm at
the front below the worktop is mandatory.
