2. 
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 50 mm from the rear 
edge. This appliance may be installed 
against 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 750 mm between the 
hob burners and a shelf or hood (if any) 
placed vertically above them.  
 
If the hob is installed above a cupboard with doors, a separator panel must be 
installed underneath it. Leave a gap of at least 10 mm between the bottom of the hob 
and the surface of the panel, which must be easily removable to allow sufficient 
access for any servicing procedures.  
 
 
Installation of an oven without cooling fan underneath the hob is forbidden. 
 
In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a separating panel has to 
be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 
10 mm between the bottom of 
the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be easily removable to allow access 
in the event of technical service.
