18.1 Safe installation
Follow these safety instructions when in-
stalling the appliance.
¡ Electrical connection must only be carried
out by licensed specialist staff. Incorrect
connection will invalidate the warranty.
¡ The safe operation of this appliance can
only be guaranteed if it has been installed
to a professional standard in accordance
with these installation instructions. The in-
staller shall be liable for any damage result-
ing from incorrect installation.
18.4 Preparing the units
The worktop must be level, horizontal and stable.
¡ The fitted units, including wall finishing strips, must
be heat-resistant to at least 90 °C.
¡ Niche cladding within 50 mm of the back wall must
not be combustible (e.g. tiles, stone).
18.5 Installing fixing rails
For stone work surfaces, bond the fixing rails in place.
18.2 Built-under
Do not install refrigerators, dishwashers, non-ventilated
ovens or washing machines underneath the appliance.
¡ If you fit an oven below the appliance, the worktop
must be at least 20 mm thick, in certain cases even
thicker. Observe the information in the oven installa-
tion instructions.
¡ Make sure that projecting parts such as the mains
housing or the mains cable do not collide, e.g. with
a drawer.
18.3 Intermediate floor
If the underside of the hob can be touched, an interme-
diate floor must be fitted.
¡ Ask your specialist retailer for an intermediate floor
as an accessory.
¡ If you use your own intermediate floor, the minimum
distance to the mains connection of the appliance
must be 10 mm.
¡ Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant.
This prevents the worktop from swelling as a result
of moisture.
