11. INSTALLATION
11.1 Safety instructions for installing kitchen furniture
• Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperature-resistant
(>75°C). If they are not sufficiently temperature-resistant, they may warp over time.
• When the appliance has been installed, it must be protected from accidental contact with the electric
cables.
• If the required minimum distances are respected, decorative solid wood panels can be applied to the
bottom edge of the work surface.
• The minimum distances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in
the installation illustrations.
• Maintain a safe lateral distance from wall units of at least 50 mm. The side coating of wall units must
be a heat-resistant material. For operational technical requirements, the vertical distance from wall
units must be at least 750 mm.
• The minimum distance between a ventilation hood and the cooking surface must be at least the
distance indicated in the ventilation hood installation instructions.
• The packaging materials (e.g. plastic sheets, expanded polystyrene, pins, etc.) must be kept out of
reach of children as they may present a danger to the children's safety. There is a risk of them
swallowing small parts or risking suffocation when playing with plastic films.
11.2 Ventilation
• If installed on top of an oven, the oven must
be equipped with a cooling fan.
• The back wall of the lower unit must be open
at the height of the section cut out of the work
surface to ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation.
• Remove the front transverse strip on the unit
to create an opening for the air flow of at least
4 mm under the work surface across the full
width of the appliance.
• Remove any transverse strips in the area
below the section cut out of the work surface.
• The distance between the induction hob and
the kitchen furniture or other installed
appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge.
• Avoid excessive overheating of the bottom of the hob, caused, for example, by ovens without a fan
with a transverse current.
• Do not use the hob if pyrolysis is taking place inside the oven.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation grille in front of the product in any type of installation
• The illustration below shows two examples of installation suitable for proper ventilation and one
example of incorrect installation to be avoided.
