Inserting the hotplate
 
After having removed the various loose parts from the internal and external packing, make sure that the 
hotplate in not damaged and is suitable for the specific gas usage. The gas type label is on the underside of 
the hotplate base. 
In case of doubt, do not use the appliance and contact skilled personnel. 
Keep all the packing parts (polystyrene foam, cardboard, staples, etc.) away from children. 
Consider the critical dimensions of the appliance, before making an opening in the top surface of the bench 
top. (relative measurements as per Fig 1- 2). 
 
If your counter is produced from porous materials which tend to swell if in contact with humidity, and water, to 
better protect the cut-out, use proper sea-lants on the edge which would prevent any penetration of humidity 
and water.  
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping.  
Radius corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking.  
Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can contribute to cracking of 
counter top laminate.
