Any work carried out by the Manufacturer on the purchaser's request further to installation errors is not covered by the warranty. If the hob is installed on top of a base unit with oven, suitable precautions must be taken in order to ensure installation in compliance with safety standards (CEI - UNI - CIG). Take special care to position the electrical cable that it do not touch hot parts of the oven's casing. If an oven without cooling fan is installed underneath the hob, openings must be made in the built-in installation cabinet to allow the air to circulate properly. These openings must ensure an unobstructed surface of at least 300 cm2 distributed as shown in figure 9. Installing the hob in the cabinet top The hob can be installed in any cabinet which withstands a temperature of at least 90°C. The size of the hole to be made in the cabinet top and the minimum distances from the surfaces behind, beside and above the appliance are shown in figure 3 and 4. Bear in mind that: When the hob is not installed in combination with an oven, a separator panel must be installed between the bottom of the hob and the cabinet below, with a gap of at least 10 mm. If the hob is combined with an oven, install a partition with a gap of at least 15 mm and in all cases assuring ventilation as specified in fig. In all cases, the electrical connections to the two appliances must be made separately, both for electrical reasons and to simplify extraction. Use of an oven with forced-air internal cooling system is recommended. Fixing the hob Secure the hob to the cabinet as follows: Fit the sealing gasket provided around the outside perimeter of the hole in the cabinet as shown in fig. 3, so that the ends of the strips fit perfectly flush without overlapping.
