Fitting the appliance in the top 
 
 
 
 
 
The procedures required below must be carried out by a skilled builder and/or joiner. 
The hob can be installed on various materials, including masonry, metal, solid wood 
and wood finished with plastic laminates, provided the material is heat-resistant 
(T 90° C). 
 
 
2.1  Fixing to the supporting structure 
 
Make a hole in the cabinet top with the dimensions shown here, maintaining a 
distance of at least 70 mm from the rear edge. This appliance may be installed 
against lateral walls higher than the worktop surface, provided the distance "X" shown 
here is maintained, in order to prevent damage due to overheating. Make sure that 
there is at least 650 mm between the hob burners and a shelf or hood (if any) placed 
vertically above them.

access for any servicing procedures. 
 
IMPORTANT: when installing the appliance above a cupboard, a dividing shelf, as 
shown above, must be installed. 
If installed above an under-bench oven, this is not required. 
Installation of an oven without cooking fan underneath the hob is forbidden.

bearing in mind that on both models the long front edge must be flush with the hole. Fix 
the hob to the structure using the brackets A provided. Carefully trim off the excess
