Safety instructions for installation

warning 2 Risk of damage from the incorrect connection. Incorrect installation can cause damage to the hob. The hob must only be installed by a qualified person.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the hob when fitting wall units or a cooker hood above it.
Fit the wall units and the cooker hood before the hob.

  • The room in which the hob is installed must conform to all relevant local and national building regulations and safety regulations.
  • The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any back molds must be of heat-resistant material.
  • The hob must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
  • A gas hob must not be installed directly next to a deep fat fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential to maintain a distance of at least 300 mm between these two appliances.
  • When installing the hob, make sure that the gas pipe and electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.
  • The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped.
  • Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

Safety distances

Safety distance above the hob A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood manufacturer’s operating and installation instructions for details. If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the cooker hood or if any flammable objects (e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc) are installed above the hob a minimum safety distance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances that have different safety distances are installed together below a cooker hood, you should observe the greatest safety distance.

Safety distances to the sides and back of the hob

Not allowed

Highly recommended

Not recommended

Not recommended

Ideally, the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear or a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left) (see illustrations).

  1. The minimum distance between the back of the worktop cut-out and the rear edge of the worktop: is 50 mm
  2. The minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the right of it: is 150 mm.
  3. The minimum distance between the worktop cut-out and a wall or tall unit to the left of it: is 150 mm.

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding
A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and any niche cladding to protect it from heat damage.
If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum safe y distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and the cladding. If the niche adding is made from a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the cut-out and the cladding will be 50 mm less than the thickness of the cladding.
Example: 15 mm niche cladding 50 mm – 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

  1. Masonry
  2. Niche cladding dimension x = thickness of the niche cladding material
  3. Worktop
  4. Worktop cut-out
  5. Minimum distance to
    combustible materials 50 mm
    non-combustible materials 50 mm – dimension x

Installation notes

Seal between the hob and the worktop

Damage caused by incorrect installation.
Using sealant under the hob could result in damage to the hob and the worktop if the hob ever needs to be removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the hob and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Tiled worktops

Grout lines 1 and the hatched area underneath the hob frame must be smooth and even. If they are not the hob will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the hob will not provide a good seal between the hob and the worktop.

Sealing strip
Dismantling the hob for service purposes may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the hob. Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the hob.

Installation

Preparing the worktop

  • Create the worktop cut-out as shown in the hob diagram. Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (see “Installation – Safetydistances”).
  • Seal any cut surfaces on wooden worktops with a special varnish, silicone sealant or resin to prevent the wood from swelling as a result of moisture ingress. The sealant must be heat-resistant.

Make sure that the sealant does not come into contact with the top of the worktop.
The seal under the appliance ensures that the hob will sit securely in the cutout without slipping. Any gap between the appliance frame and worktop will become smaller over time.

Installing the hob

  • Stick the supplied sealing strip under the edge of the hob.
  • Feed the power cable for the hob down through the worktop cut-out.
  • Place the hob loosely in the cut-out. When doing this, make sure that the seal of the appliance sits flush with the worktop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal all around.
    If the seal does not sit flush with the worktop in the corners, the corner radius (≤ R4) can be carefully cut to fit using a jigsaw.
    Do not use any additional sealant (e.g. silicone) on the hob.
  • Connect the hob to the electricity supply (see “Installation – Electrical connection”).
  • Connect the hob to the gas supply (see “Installation – Gas connection”).
  • Secure the hob (see “Installation – Securing the hob”).
  • Check that the hob works (see “Installation – Functional check”).

Securing the hob
The brackets are suitable for securing the hob in a flush-fit or onset installation. The illustrations show the hob secured in an onset installation.

  • Secure the hob using the brackets supplied.

Functional check

  • After installing the hob, ignite all burners to check that they are operating correctly:
    – The gas flame must not go out on the lowest setting, or when the rotary control is turned quickly from the highest to the lowest setting.
    – On the highest setting, the gas flame must have a distinctive and visible core.

Gas connection

Risk of explosion due to an incorrect gas connection.If the gas connection is carried out incorrectly, it may result in gas leakage.
Connection to the gas supply must only be undertaken by an approved and registered gas installer in strict accordance with current local and national safety and building regulations. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the appliance functions correctly when installed.
