Flush-fit installation
Flush-fit installation is only possible in
natural stone (granite, marble), solid
wood and tiled worktops. Certain
models are suitable for building into
glass worktops – please see the relev-
ant label on the hob. When using a
worktop made from any other mater-
ial, please check first with the worktop
manufacturer that it is suitable for in-
stalling a flush-fit hob.
The internal width of the base unit un-
derneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut-
out (see “Installation – Building-in di-
mensions – flush fit”), so that the hob
is easily accessible from underneath
after installation and the bottom half of
the casing can be removed for main-
tenance. If the underside of the hob is
not freely accessible after installation,
any sealant used to plug the gaps
around the appliance must be re-
moved to enable the hob to be lifted
out of the cut-out should this be ne-
cessary.
Natural stone worktops
The hob is set directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops
The hob is secured inside the cut-out
with wooden battens. The battens must
be provided on site, and are not sup-
plied with the appliance.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service pur-
poses may damage the sealing strip
underneath the edge of the hob.
Always replace the sealing strip be-
fore reinstalling the hob.
