ASSEMBLY

GLASS CERAMIC HOBS WITH FRAME

1. Fitting the hob into a stainless steel worktop

Tools required:

- Electric scissors, or profile cutter, frame saw if

necessary, variable speed ripping saw, metal saw

if possible

-Protective tape

- Angle plate with measuring possibility

- Liquid refrigerant if necessary

- Mark the position of the opening, which must be

accurate to +/- 0.5 mm

- The frame of the hob must rest properly on the

worktop, therefore make sure the opening is

properly centred.

- Drill a ø 10-12 mm hole at each of the 4 inside

corners.

- If using an electric saw proves awkward, use a

hand saw.

- Saw very carefully so that you do not damage the

stainless steel surface; any damage to this surface

may prove irreparable. After you have prepared the

opening to accommodate the hob, make sure that

the corners, edges and surface are clean and smooth.

- Cover the sides of the opening with the protective

tape to avoid scratching the hob frame.

- Brush oil over cut sections.

- Insert the wooden shims supplied with the hob

under the steel edge, in order to obtain a 30 to

50 mm thick border frame.

- Under the stainless steel frame of the hob is a

rubber self adhesive seal; use mastic sealing if

necessary to level out any unevenness. Avoid

using silicone, which is difficult to remove later on

if you need to disassemble the hob.

- Insert the hob, centring it accurately so that it

covers the opening entirely.

- Screw and tighten the hob to the work surface from

underneath as instructed above and hereafter.

2. Fitting the hob into a stone or wooden

worktop

Make an opening in the worktop as per the dimensions,

in millimetres, indicated in the Product sheet.

The hob dimensions are indicated in the relative

figures.

- Insert the glass ceramic hob into the worktop

opening from above.

The fixing brackets (see Fig. 1) must be in the

right position.

- Place the hob in the centre and secure it with the

brackets.

Place the brackets in position and screw them to

the worktop with a screwdriver.

GLASS CERAMIC HOBS WITHOUT FRAME

1. Fitting the hob into a prepared support

surface

The support surface in the opening can be made

either by milling the edges in order to obtain a

support surface of 5 mm wide by 7 mm high or by

mounting 4 ledges to create a support frame for the

hob as shown on Fig. 2.

1.1. Preparing the work surface

Clean the opening to remove any dust or dirt.

- Brush on 1 or 2 coats of special primer and allow

to dry for about 30 minutes. This will protect the

support surface from humidity and will promote

adherence of the bonding material.

1.2. Fitting the hob in a worktop opening

prepared as per Fig. 3.

Fix the self-adhesive seal to the cleaned support

area. In the corners and if necessary in the centre of

the support section, fix 3-4 cm strips of mastic

sealing supplied approximately every 10 cm,

then apply a 3-4 mm approx. strip of silicone as per

Fig. 3.

Use soap to thoroughly clean the edges of the hob

to remove any oil, grease or other dirt.

Fit the glass ceramic hob in the opening, taking care

to centre it properly so as to have equal distances

all around.

Press down gently and evenly on the glass ceramic

hob, especially at the corners, so that the glass top

is level with the edge of the worktop.

Attention: do not use any tools on the glass

edge.
