INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT WARNINGS
FRANKE
DESIGNER GAS COOKTOP 60CM
•Installation of the appliance into a kitchen worktop must be performed by an adequately qualified technician.
•Veneer or other finish of the piece of kitchen furniture into which the hob is to be built in should be treated with heat resistant glue
(100°C); otherwise, the worktop finish may be discolored or deformed.
• Ideally the appliance should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at
one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the cooktop.
•Use of massive wood decoration plates or boards on the worktops behind the appliance is not permitted.
•The distance between the appliance edge and the adjacent tall kitchen furniture element should amount to no less than 250
mm.
•All sizes and distances to be taken for the proper functioning of the appliance are shown in gures below.
•The kitchen furniture element underneath the hob should not be tted with a drawer. If the kitchen furniture element as a
horizontal partition wall, it should be installed no less than min 20mm from the lower surface of the appliance. The space
between the partition wall and the appliance must be empty; no objects should be placed into that gap.
•Hanging, or wall-mounted kitchen elements should be installed high enough not to interfere with the work process.
•A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the appliance and the cooker hood above it. See the cooker hood
manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details. If the manufacturer's instructions are not available or, if
there are any ammable objects (e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc) above the appliance, a minimum safety distance of at least
800 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.
•Fit the wall units and cooker hood before tting the appliance to avoid damaging it.
•The front part must have an opening of no less than 5 mm.
•The appliance must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or
tumble dryer.
•Only ovens tted with a cooling fan may be installed underneath this appliance.
•Before installing an oven, the rear wall of the kitchen furniture element should be removed in the area of the appliance cut-
out. Furthermore, a gap of at least 5 mm should be left at the front side.
NOT ALLOWED NOT RECOMMENDED NOT RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDED
• Overhead clearances—(Measurement A) Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s relevant instructions. However, in no case shall the
clearance between the highest part of the hob of the gas cooking appliance and a range hood
be less than 600 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 800 mm.
• Side clearances—(Measurement B & C) Where B, measured from the periphery of the
nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, or vertical combustible surface covered
with toughened glass or sheet metal, is less than 250 mm, the surface shall be protected
to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of
the cooking surface area. Where the gas cooking appliance is fitted with a "splashback“,
protection of the rear wall is not required.
