To ensure your Häfele Altius FS 490 built-in hob performs perfectly, it’s important to follow the right installation process. Please share the cut-out dimensions provided in the product specification table with your kitchen manufacturer or installer. These precise measurements ensure a seamless and secure fit within your countertop.

For proper ventilation, make sure the back of the cabinet remains open or has air vents to allow heat to escape. Lack of ventilation can affect the hob’s performance and may void the warranty.

Since the hob comes with electric auto ignition, an electrical connection point will be required as per the specifications in the product manual. It’s best to position this point directly behind or near the hob for a clean and safe setup.
