DIY electric hob. It remains only to reveal the issue of self-installation of the built-in hob in the kitchen furniture. I note right away that this work will not be difficult to do with your own hands, without resorting to the help of a master.

Each hob comes with instructions. with pictures, in which there is enough information for installation. But the instructions, as a rule, miss a few important points concerning cutting a hole for a niche, as well as where it is better and how to install an electrical outlet to connect the hob.

Gas and electric hobs are installed in almost the same way, only the connection gas surface it is better to entrust professionals. But if you decide to do everything yourself, then keep in mind that there are different burners for liquefied and natural gas, and after finishing work, check with soapy water for gas leaks.

Installing the hob in the countertop

To install the hob in the countertop, you will need an electric drill and a jigsaw. If there is an electric drill in almost every household, then a jigsaw most often has to be bought.

Consider that with the glass-ceramic surface it is necessary to be very careful not to damage it during installation. So weigh the pros and cons, and if you decide to do everything yourself, act according to our instructions. If the furniture is made to order, then inform the furniture makers about the dimensions for the sink and hob. They will make a cut at the manufacturing stage. This is the most best option. After Assembly kitchen furniture, go straight to the fifth point.

Step-by-step instructions for installing the panel in the countertop:

1. Opening the instruction from the kit and look at the size of the niche that needs to be cut in the countertop. If the dimensions are suddenly not indicated or there is no instruction, then it will be necessary to measure inner size seat. Please note that the ideal gap between the hob and the worktop is 1 to 2 millimeters. But some make 5-6 mm each, but at the same time the panel can walk in the process of subsequent use of it.
2. We make markings on the tabletop. We draw lines along which we will cut with an electric jigsaw. To do this, you will need a long ruler and a pencil. Often, a panel comes with a cardboard template, which is enough to attach and trace around the contour inside with a pencil. Please note that the countertop would not break - its thickness must be at least 38 millimeters. Same way take into account when marking that is the distance from the edge of the hob to the edges kitchen worktop from all sides and to the walls should be at least 50 mm.
3. After finishing marking with a screwdriver or drill, we drill carefully at the corners of our markup. The drill is used with a diameter of 8-10 mm, which would then fit the jigsaw blade into the hole.
   
4. Then take a jigsaw with a fine-toothed blade for wood, insert into drilled holes and cut along the perimeter very carefully and slowly. When working, the jigsaw is pressed tightly against the countertop.
5. For protection from moisture and dirt, as well as to avoid the formation of fungus, glue the sealant from the kit on the cuts along the perimeter, and if it is not there, then treat it with silicone or acrylic sealant. Trim off any excess with a sharp knife.
   
6. Now take your time install the panel into the cut hole, if it turned out a little larger, then align it with the front edge of the countertop.
   If the panel does not become loose, just do not use force to install it. In this case, it is necessary to get the panel and cut the smallest side by a couple of millimeters.
7. Stayed final stage fixing the hob with special clips from the delivery kit.
   They are screwed from the bottom of the tabletop and do not allow the panel to move in the gap between the panel and the tabletop.

Where is the best place to install an outlet for an electric hob

Before installation Do-it-yourself hob, even at the assembly stage, I recommend moving the electrical outlet below the countertop, so that neither the plug nor the socket for connecting it would be visible in the kitchen. How to connect the hob read in

Modern kitchen sets allow you to independently install a gas, electric or induction hob. Such models can be operated both in conjunction with the oven, that is, to be dependent, and separately, that is, to be independent. Despite some difference in their design, general rules, which should be followed during the work, are similar for all versions.

Hole preparation

markup

The appearance depends on how accurately the markup is carried out. ready kitchen, and an error of even half a centimeter will force you to purchase a new countertop.

Markup can be done in two ways:

• put the device in place and circle with a marker;
• Calculate and mark the attachment point to the nearest millimeter.

Despite the apparent simplicity and attractiveness of the first path, there are a lot of chances to make mistakes and apply incorrect markup.

Preliminary sizing

It is much more reliable to mark the installation site by careful calculations:

1. Borders are applied to the surface of the tabletop inner space cabinets over which the hob will be placed. Thus, the place within which the work will be carried out will be indicated. The markings must be applied with a pencil so that at the end of the work the lines can be easily erased. If the countertop does not allow you to apply well visible lines, then paper should be glued to its surface masking tape, and already draw markup on it.
2. It is necessary to find the future center of the hole into which the case will be installed. To do this, diagonals of a rectangle are drawn on the tabletop, formed by the front and back parts of the tabletop and the drawn borders of the cabinet.
3. At the intersection point of the applied diagonals, the center of the hob will be placed. Through it you need to draw two straight lines: one parallel to the edge of the countertop, the other perpendicular.
4. On these straight lines, the dimensions of the built-in part of the housing should be noted. You can see them in the technical documentation or measure them yourself. These dimensions should be increased by 1-2 mm in order to subsequently install the device more conveniently.
5. Straight lines are drawn through the marked marks (parallel and perpendicular to the edge of the tabletop). They form a rectangle, exactly corresponding to the recessed part of the body and located in the center of the tabletop.
6. It is necessary to check that the minimum distance specified by the manufacturer in the technical documentation is observed between the final marking lines and surrounding objects.
7. The resulting rectangle must be outlined with a marker, and the extra lines must be erased so as not to make a mistake when cutting a hole.

The marked rectangle corresponds to the size of the hob

Cutting a mounting hole

To cut seat under the hob, you can use the following tools:

• milling machine;
• jigsaw;
• drill.

The highest quality cut is obtained when working milling machine. A slightly less high-quality cut is made with an electric jigsaw with a fine-toothed file.

For work, you can use a drill or a jigsaw

The procedure for cutting a hole with a jigsaw is as follows:

• At the corners of the marked rectangle (with inside) drill holes with a 8-10 mm drill.
• With a file with fine teeth, carefully cut along the marked lines. The body of the jigsaw cannot be held “on weight”, it should be pressed tightly against the countertop.

The hole is cut along the marked lines

But not every household has handy tools. Much less beautiful, but, nevertheless, a cut suitable for installation can be made using a conventional drill.

The procedure for cutting the landing hole with a drill is as follows:

• With a drill of 8-10 mm, holes are made along the intended line. They need to be drilled from the inside of the marks so that the drilled places are in contact with the intended cut line. Holes must be made as often as possible so that the cut-off piece of the countertop can be easily broken off.
• The rough edges of the hole must be aligned along the marked line. To do this, you can use a rasp or a small file for wood or metal. The resulting edges must be made as even as possible.

Attention! After the mounting hole has been made, it is necessary to insert the hob into it. The device should enter effortlessly and completely cover the cut hole with its body.

Hole sealing

The next step is sealing. It is necessary to protect the countertop from water ingress during cleaning or cooking. Table top made of wood or chipboard it can swell and deteriorate.

Sealing is carried out using acrylic sealant for plumbing work or nitrolac. It needs to be applied carefully. thin layer from the inside to the ends of the hole made. It is not necessary to apply sealant to the top surface of the countertop - a special gasket in the form of a sealing tape that comes with the panel will be used there.

The ends of the countertops are treated with silicone

Sealing tape sticker:

• applied to the sealing tape adhesive layer, film-covered. It should not be removed all at once, but torn off gradually, as it sticks to the surface.
• The tape is glued around the perimeter of the mounting hole in a single piece. At the corners, it is not cut, but simply glued with a turn.
• The end and the beginning of the tape are joined end-to-end, without overlap and gap.

Some manufacturers complete hobs with aluminum seals. Instructions for their installation are contained in the documentation for the device.

Panel fixing

Mounting the hob is carried out as follows:

• The appliance is inserted into the mounting hole and centered so that the front side is parallel to the edge of the worktop.
• From inside the cabinet, the case is attached to the tabletop with special plates included in the delivery.
• Installation must be carried out in such a way that there are no gaps between the hob and the worktop.
• With a clerical knife, excess sealant is cut off from above.

The seal is cut with a clerical knife

Connecting an installed hob

electrical panel

It is advisable to provide a connection point for the electric hob even before installing the kitchen unit. The socket must comply with all electrical safety requirements:

• have a ground line;
• supply copper cable must have a cross section of at least 4 square meters. mm.

In the back wall floor cabinet a hole of such a size is cut opposite the electrical outlet so that it is easy to insert and remove the plug from the hob by hand.

Sockets installed for self connection, are of two types:

• three-pin;
• four-pin.

If a plug is installed on the wire of the hob, then it is enough to plug it into the socket to connect it. The power cord must be long enough so that it is not taut when connecting the appliance.

Plugs and sockets for connecting hobs

For models sold without a plug, certain steps will be required:

• If the socket is three-pin, and there are four wires in the wire, then you will need to connect a two-phase model to a single-phase network. To do this, wires with black and brown insulation are connected in the cord. This connection is connected to the socket phase. Null blue wire connect to zero sockets, and the green-yellow wire - to ground. All connections must be securely insulated.
• If the placement of the wires in the outlet is unknown, then using a multimeter, you must determine the phase and zero. If necessary, they are interchanged so that they correspond to the wiring in the plug of the device.

Attention! Self-embedding an electric hob, it is necessary to provide for the mandatory installation of individual RCDs and a circuit breaker. For example, for a 16A socket, an RCD of at least 40A is required, and an automatic device is at least 25A.

induction hob

The induction panel is connected according to the same general principles as the electric one.
In many models there are no power cords, and only terminals for connecting an external cable are installed.

The wiring diagram is printed next to the terminal block

Connection in this case is carried out in the following order:

• The protective cover is removed from the back of the instrument.
• The external cable is passed through the cover.
• The cord is connected to the terminal plate in accordance with the diagram attached to the panel.
• If a jumper is installed connecting zero and ground, it must be removed.

gas hob

Household gas is a source of increased danger, therefore, to kitchen area presented special requirements:

• The presence of a ventilation hood.
• Air inflow not less than 2 cubic meters. per hour for each kilowatt of panel power.
• The distance to the wall is at least 130 mm.
• Supply gas hose should be located in such a way as not to be exposed to excessive heat and to allow periodic inspection by the inspection body.

The hob is connected with a flexible hose

Attention! If mandatory requirements are not complied with, the operator will not allow the installed gas hob to be operated.

The panel is connected by a certified specialist in the following order:

• to places threaded connections a sealing tape is applied.
• Paronite gaskets are inserted into the gas hose.
• The hose is connected to the hob and the gas supply.
• The joints are checked for tightness with soap suds.
• The power cord plugs into a waterproof outlet.

For operation gas models they must be accepted by the service organization responsible for these works in the area of ​​residence.

You can embed the hob in the kitchen set on your own carrying out the work carefully in accordance with the recommendations presented.

Many years ago, kitchen sets did not represent the possibility of mounting a hob in them. Today, this is a common phenomenon, which saves space in the kitchen, and also makes cooking more convenient and comfortable. Installing the hob in the countertop can be done independently. The main thing is to correctly determine the sequence of actions and follow it. It is very important to correctly determine the size of the future opening.

Modern technologies do not stand still. Today it has become possible to integrate hobs into kitchen sets, which qualitatively affects the interior of the kitchen and its functionality. Inserting the hob does not take much time.

First of all, on the countertop, you need to make a markup that will fit the size of the hob.

Next to each side of the niche, you need to drill a hole, the diameter of each should be from 8 to 10 mm. The next step is to cut out the niche and treat it internally with silicone. The tabletop is installed on the lower level of the headset. Attach the inside of the panel double sided tape or some plasticine. The tabletop is covered with silicone.

Step by step installation:

1. The table top is placed on lower part headset. If the walls are uneven, the countertop will need to be trimmed. And if gas pipes pass through it, special holes must be made for them. The countertop should be ready for installation down the kitchen.
2. Inside the box in which the hob will be installed, it is necessary to make markings. To do this, you can simply make pencil outlines that will help you make further markup.
3. The tabletop is laid front side down, and on the reverse side they make markings for a future tie-in.
4. In each intended cut, small holes must be made so that you can work with a jigsaw.
5. Carefully cut out the niche with an electric jigsaw.
6. You need to make sure that the tabletop does not deviate under its own weight. In the process of cutting, it is better to carefully support it.

The inside of the cut is treated with silicone. After installing the panel, you can additionally coat it with silicone with outside. This is done in order to create an additional hydro-barrier, since the fasteners may not be pressed against the countertop enough.

The gas hob must be chosen very responsibly, because it must last long years. After the choice is made, the panel must be installed so that it is convenient and safe to use. You can embed the panel yourself, but you should not do this if you are not confident in your abilities. In any case, you can contact a specialist for help.

When installing yourself, it is important to prepare everything necessary materials: panel, measuring instruments, pencils, sealant, adjustable wrench, saw, gas winding, steel hose.

All work related to gas is unsafe to carry out. It is best to perform the installation together with a wizard or someone who thoroughly knows the entire installation process. One of the most milestones settings - hose selection.

Hose Selection Tips:

• Check hose for damage. There should not be a single defect on the hose.
• The hose must be certified. When buying, you should ask the seller to present all the documents for the goods.
• The hose can be corrugated metal or rubber.

When installing the panel, the calculation of dimensions must be given Special attention. Sometimes in the kit for the hob you can find a template that you need to use in order to properly saw through the countertop. It is important to remember that water should not get on the surface of the panel. The gas countertop must be placed at a safe distance from furniture and textiles.

How to install the hob in the countertop

The built-in electric stove is a very convenient device for installation in the kitchen. It works just as efficiently as a stationary stove, but does not take up as much space. Installing such a panel can be quick and easy, without resorting to the help of specialists. The surface can be combined with an oven, which will make cooking even more convenient.

If the master conducts self repair not the first time, then installing the hob will not cause difficulties.

Before installing the panel, you need to properly cut a hole in the countertop. To facilitate the installation work, manufacturers indicate the required dimensions in the instructions for the device. Pre-marking greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation process.

Installation steps:

• On the countertop, you need to make markings that will correspond to the dimensions of the panel.
• Using an electric jigsaw, you need to make a cutout in the countertop. To get started, you need to drill a small hole for a jigsaw. The cut will be even if you use a jigsaw file with fine teeth.
• Dimensions hob should line up with the cut hole. Sections must be treated with a sealant or nitro-lacquer. Sealing self-adhesive tape can be used for processing.

The electric tabletop is connected, focusing on the diagram. It can be found on the back of the panel. It is important to connect the wires correctly in order to be able to control the activation of the burners and their temperature.

What to look for: fixing the hob to the countertop

The installation process of the hob is simple, but requires careful pre-training. First of all, it is tedious to choose the right hob, check its passport data, prepare the tools and decide on the installation location. Installation of cooking gas and electrical surface practically does not differ.

You need to mount the panel on the countertop, in which you need to make the appropriate cutout.

It should be noted that in order to install electrical panel You will also need to install an electrical outlet. For a gas panel, care must be taken to carry out gas communication. The built-in panel must be installed so that the maximum gap between it and the worktop is 1-2 mm.

What to look for:

• Correctly measure the dimensions of the panel and transfer them to the cutout in the countertop.
• Cut out the necessary segment in the countertop in order to perform the installation correctly.
• Treat the countertop with special materials that will protect it from the effects of external negative factors.
• Push the panel into the cutout.

It is important to remember that the mortise panel should not enter the gap with force. If there is a backlash, the location of the countertop must be aligned, focusing on the front edge. Fastening the seal over the entire surface of the countertop will avoid contamination of the panel.

hob seal

Must be attached to the hob sealing gasket. If the panel is removed after some time of use, you will notice that the seal will be covered in dirt and grease. The gasket needs to be replaced from time to time.

If there is a gap between the panel and the countertop, then the plate can be fixed in the plane, but this must be done so that debris does not fall into the vertical gap.

You can buy a special tape, or you can use a glass seal. The table and cutout can be pre-machined with transparent sealant. Sealant residues must be wiped off or carefully removed with a spatula.

Benefits of sealing tape:

• Reliability;
• Ease of use;
• Environmental friendliness.

His high quality Bosch seals are known. Just placing a panel is not enough. It must be protected from moisture, grease and debris. If the panel is installed in a large opening, and a gap is formed, then the tape and the treatment of the gaps with sealant will help save the situation.

Installing the hob in the countertop (video)

The built-in hob is a convenient device that saves space in the kitchen and provides comfortable cooking. The rules for installing the panel are simple, so you can install it yourself. It is possible to embed a panel qualitatively only when the dimensions of the panel are measured correctly. After cutting a hole in the countertop, it must be well treated with sealant to protect the panel from water and dirt. All actions should be phased and coordinated.

Complex cookers for the kitchen, simultaneously combining a hob and an oven, are becoming more and more a thing of the past. Modern housewives are less and less likely to use ovens for their intended purpose. They are increasingly turning into a warehouse of pots and pans.

Why overpay money for an unnecessary metal cabinet, when you can buy a comfortable and aesthetic hob, and formed under it free space perfect for storing dishes and other things. Even an inexperienced master can install a hob in a countertop, because its installation does not require experience and qualifications at all.

Varieties of hobs

So, before proceeding with such a procedure as installing a hob into a worktop with your own hands (you can see the photo in this article), you should deal with the varieties of these devices. There are the following main types of hobs:

1. Electrical.
2. Induction.
3. Gas.

It is advisable to entrust the installation and installation of the last option to a professional, since wrong connection can lead to serious problems. When using gas stoves indoors, special requirements must be observed. In the process of installing electrical panels, it is also important to observe caution and safety rules when working with high voltage. Quality power supply with grounding.

When buying a hob, it is important to pay special attention to it, since the installation of the hob in the worktop should be carried out with a small margin around the edges. In addition, you need to decide on the location of the tie-in. Spend in advance

Countertop installation

If you purchased a glass or stone countertop, it is advisable to entrust its installation to professionals. Since you do not know about all the intricacies of the process, you can damage an expensive item. If you can handle the installation yourself, but with some building skills.

You will need the following:

• Grout for tiles.
• Tiles for facing the surface of the countertop.
• Mounting or tile adhesive.
• Tiles with tungsten coating.
• Gun with silicone sealant.
• Electric jigsaw.
• Waterproof wood board.
• A set of tools - a square, a screwdriver, screws.

Replacing the countertop should begin with the dismantling of the old one. Despite the fact that you will not need the old countertop in the future, you must remove it very carefully to avoid damage to the kitchen unit.

It is very important to fit the new countertop to the dimensions of your furniture. It is likely that you will need to cut off the excess. In this case, unprotected chipboard edges. This material perfectly absorbs moisture, so the saw cuts must be well treated with a sealant. If the countertop is mounted with saw cuts to the stove, it is advisable to close them with special end strips.

Required Tools

Before proceeding to such a process as installing a hob in a countertop (photos show what they are), you need to prepare the following tools:

• Pencil.
• Roulette.
• Jigsaw.
• Drill driver with a drill for wood with a diameter of 8-10 mm.
• Sealant.

Preparatory process

To begin with, you should make sure that there are accessible sockets in the place where the hob will be installed in the worktop. The presence of an outlet, a suitable length of the gas supply hose, gas stove These are two fundamental aspects.

If the wiring is old and there is no certainty that it is reliable, it is recommended to run an independent cable for the stove directly from the meter.

Installing the hob in the countertop

1. First you need to make a hole in the countertop. To do this, according to the instructions, an opening is marked. If there is no instruction, then
   the full dimension is outlined, while on each side you need to retreat about 5 mm.
2. Using a drill, a hole is drilled so as not to go beyond the contour boundary. Then we continue to work with a jigsaw. To reduce chipping, it is recommended to take a file with fine teeth. In addition, you can paste over the contour with stationery or masking tape.
3. After the drank is completed, you need to paint over or sealant the sawn edges to prevent the countertop from swelling.
4. Next, the hob is installed in a 28 mm worktop, fixed and connected to the network.

Panel insertion must be carried out with maximum precision. Otherwise, even an error of 1 cm can ruin the countertop, which is one of the most expensive elements of a kitchen set.

Countertop made of artificial stone

Compared to their counterparts in Chipboard worktop from artificial stone is the most durable. Despite this, the main problem is the installation of the hob in an artificial stone countertop.

In most cases, an artificial stone countertop is ordered with pre-drilled holes for a specific hob. But what if the countertop is already installed, but the hob is not yet? V this case the most reliable and best option would be to give the countertop to qualified specialists who, using a professional tool, will make the necessary hole.

If you still decide to take the risk, then this work can be produced using the technology described above, but only instead of a jigsaw you will need to take an angular grinder and a diamond-coated blade designed for cutting concrete.

It is important to remember that self-installation hob in the countertop should be well thought out at all stages of installation. Only in this case, less time will be spent on this type of work, and their quality and subsequent result will significantly improve.

Do-it-yourself installation of a hob is a test of strength for both a beginner and a seasoned master. The hob is an alternative to the overall cooker. It performs the same functions, but takes less space. Today we figure out how not to go crazy during the installation process.

How to install the hob yourself? Mandatory Installation Rules

As a rule, the product is mounted above the oven. A hole of suitable dimensions is made in the countertop and the device is placed on top. When every meter counts, can they be installed above the dishwasher or without a countertop?

Types of hobs

Gas

Electrical

Combined

The panel can be:

• gas;
• electric;
• induction;
• combined.

Each of them can be:

• dependent;
• independent.

The first include appliances that can only function in combination with an oven.

The control is carried out using a panel mounted on the cabinet - very rarely it is located on the hob.

IMPORTANT! Not all hobs and ovens can be used together. Sometimes even products from the same manufacturer are incompatible.

The second includes hobs, which require their own control panel. They are completely independent of oven: this implies complete comfort and placement in any corner of the kitchen.

This allows them to be placed separately, as opposed to being dependent.

Popular brands

Installation principle from different manufacturers stays the same. Below we list the brands that will not let you down.

Proper installation: steps

electrical panel

Models with electric ignition made of glass ceramics delight with convenience. If the assembly is good, then the product will not require repair for a long time. However, if the surface breaks, detachment will be as simple as possible. It is quite possible to remove the electric cooker yourself and take it in for repair.

Let's start embedding. General algorithm:

• Place the electrical panel on the countertop, turn over and connect according to the diagram. For convenience, manufacturers place instructions on the back of the product. Connection requires care - in the event of an error, control of the burners and the heating temperature will be impossible.
• After that, you can turn the panel over and mount it in the hole. Check the operation of the inclusion and heating. The panel is completely ready to work.

The installation process on your own is not difficult. Especially for those who have ever done repairs or performed construction works. Detailed algorithm:

1. Determine the dimensions. Please read the instructions before installation. It has a schematic drawing showing the dimensions of the installation and how to properly install the panel. This speeds up the process and minimizes possible mistakes during measurements and installation.
2. Measurements can be made independently. To do this, turn the panel reverse side and, using a tape measure, measure the necessary parameters. Be careful: the installation depth is determined by the installation site.
3. Decide on indents. The instructions indicate the minimum indentation from the edges of the countertop, so we do not recommend making them smaller. This can cause damage to the edge and require repair. You can only increase the size.
4. Make markings on the countertop based on the measurements of the hob. To make installation accurate and easy, make sure the markings are stable. If you draw it with chalk, the lines will be erased, and this will create inconvenience during installation. We recommend sticking strips of paper tape, and already mark it on it.
5. Make a cut. At this stage, you need to drill a hole in the place where the cutout will begin. Via electric jigsaw cut along the outline upper part countertops. For a smooth cut, use a sharp file with fine teeth. Ideally, it is recommended to use manual frezer, and the rounding of the corners is realized with a cutter. In this case, the cuts need to be polished. After the procedure, sawdust is formed, which is better to immediately collect with a vacuum cleaner.
6. Try on hob. Check the cutout and try on the panel. This will make sure that you can proceed to the next steps.

Step 1 - We mark on the countertop the place where the hob will be located

Sawing a hole

For installation, you will need an electric drill and a jigsaw. If they are not, then you will have to purchase or rent, because you cannot do without them.

IMPORTANT! Structure glass-ceramic surface quite fragile, so during installation you need to be as careful and attentive as possible, as well as objectively assess whether it is worth doing the installation yourself or it is better to hand over the matter experienced craftsmen. If you still decide to do everything with your own hands, then move on.

When buying a hob, it will be convenient to make an individual order for the manufacture of furniture in parallel. You can simply tell the furniture makers the measurements of the device and they will make the cutout themselves. This is the simplest and convenient way installation (then you can immediately go to the point of sealing / sealing).

Step 2 - Cut a Hole in the Countertop Step 4 - Place the Panel on the Hole

Sealing and proper sealing

To extend operational period countertops and protect it from premature wear, you must use silicone sealant or nitrolac. This treatment prevents the ingress of moisture and dirt. Self-adhesive sealant (sealing tape) is also perfect for these purposes.

It is glued on top so that the edges of the built-in model lie on it. Aluminum tape is one alternative for sealing and sealing. This the best way, as it protects the countertop from temperature extremes. Thanks to a high-quality seal, the product will last for many years without repair.

Step 7 - Connecting the hob to gas pipe. Depending on the type of built-in panel, the connection method changes.

gas hob

The instructions contain information on how the product is attached. Place the panel on the countertop, align it with the edge, then secure. As a rule, special brackets are included in the kit, with the help of which fastening is made. Then turn on electrical wire into an outlet.

It remains only to connect the gas. First turn off the gas, and then connect the hob to the pipe using flexible hose. Equip the nuts with paronite gaskets. You can turn on the gas. Make sure there are no leaky areas at the connection points. To test this, lather them with soap. There is no leak if the foam is not bubbling and vice versa.

In the presence of gas analyzer you can use it.

Socket for the hob: where to install?

Before installing the equipment, it is better to move the outlet under the countertop. This will provide maximum usability and add aesthetics. appearance- neither the socket nor the plug will be noticeable. It is also necessary to make a hole through which the wire will pass on the way to the electrical network.

IMPORTANT! If nevertheless marked out under the hob and oven, it is recommended to get a hood.

Step 9 - This is what the installed hob looks like
