The Insta Ignition system ensures the fastest, most reliable ignition in any weather, while integrated Flame Failure Safety Devices protect your kitchen by instantly cutting off the gas supply if the flame extinguishes unexpectedly.

For proper installation of your Hafele built-in appliance, it is essential to provide the precise cutout or carcass dimensions to your kitchen manufacturer. These dimensions are specific to each model and are mentioned in the product’s specification or description table. Accurate measurements ensure the appliance fits seamlessly into your cabinetry and functions as intended.

Ventilation is a critical aspect of installation. The back of the cabinet (carcass) must either be left open or designed with ventilation slits to allow proper airflow. Without adequate ventilation, the appliance may overheat or malfunction, which will lead to performance issues and may render the warranty void.

An electrical point must also be provided as per the technical requirements outlined in the product manual. To ensure convenience and compliance, it is recommended that this power outlet be installed directly behind the appliance.

Adhering to these guidelines is necessary not only for the safe and efficient functioning of your appliance but also to preserve your warranty coverage and maintain long-term performance.

Can the Hafele Altius Plus Matt Glass 490 be used as a freestanding cooktop, or is it strictly for built-in installation?
Yes, this hob is designed to be versatile. It can be installed as a built-in hob or used as a freestanding cooktop, depending on your kitchen setup and preferences.

What type of burners are used in this model, and what are their heat outputs?
The hob features four high-performance brass burners: two triple ring Wok burners with an output of 4.0 kW each, and two dual ring burners with an output of 1.7 kW each, offering flexibility for various cooking styles. 

What safety features are included with this hob?
All burners are equipped with a Flame Failure Safety Device (FFD). This system automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame goes out accidentally, ensuring maximum safety in your kitchen.
