For a seamless and efficient setup of your Häfele Altius FS 480 built-in hob, it’s important to follow the correct installation process. Please share the cut-out dimensions listed in the product specifications with your kitchen manufacturer or installer to ensure a perfect fit in your countertop.

To maintain proper performance, make sure the back of the cabinet remains open or has ventilation slots for adequate airflow. This prevents heat build-up and ensures the hob functions efficiently. Lack of ventilation can affect performance and may void the product warranty.
