How to attach a hob to a countertop. Installing the hob in the countertop

In the conditions of an apartment, the installation location of the gas panel is determined by the location of the gas pipe. A shut-off valve must be installed on the gas pipe. It is worth noting that the transfer of a gas pipe to any distance should be done only by specialists of a gas company. At the same time, no one forbids installing a gas panel at a certain distance from the pipe, using a flexible gas supply for this ( gas hose).

measurements

Before purchasing a panel, you need to know the width of the countertop. The dimensions of most panels are standard and do not go beyond 55-57 cm. In the documentation for the panel, not only the dimensions of the panel, but also the size of the hole in the countertop for installing the panel should be indicated.

To protect the surface of the countertop from the movement of the jigsaw sole and from chipping when cutting, masking tape is glued next to the markings or along the markings.

So that the cut does not fall and break the countertop, you need to support it from below, as in the photo, with clamps.

Preparing the panel for installation

The kit includes jets for the main connection to the panel. If they are not installed, they must be replaced. The jet installation diagram is glued to the bottom of the panel or indicated in the passport.

If a gas panel connects to gas cylinder, jets need to buy others.

popular attribute modern kitchen- built-in hob and oven. In recent years, more and more consumers are choosing electric models, which functionality superior to gas counterparts. You can install household appliances yourself. The main thing is to correctly calculate the place for installation and take care of high-quality wiring that can withstand high loads power lines.

Electrical wiring requirements when connecting kitchen appliances

Before installing an oven or hob, allow Special attention the quality of the wiring. Key points to consider:

Important! Grounding the appliance provides safe operation devices.

Installation and commissioning of the hob

Site preparation for installation

To cut a panel into kitchen worktop you will need the following tools:

• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• electric jigsaw;
• construction knife;
• Ruler and pencil;
• silicone sealant.

Do-it-yourself installation of an electric hob is carried out in the following order:

Further actions - installing the surface in the prepared hole and connecting the equipment to the power line according to the diagram.

For reference. Detailed scheme connection is shown on the reverse side of the electric hob (burner, built-in).

Scheme and choice of connection method

Schemes for commissioning kitchen panels and ovens in apartment buildings assume the use of one phase - a network of 220V. In the private sector, it is sometimes advisable to equip a three-phase network - such a connection redistributes the load during the operation of several burners into 3 phases.

Designations on the diagram:

• 1L, 2L, 3L - phases;
• N - zero conductor;
• earth code or PE - electrical appliance grounding.

Connecting the hob to the power supply is carried out in one of the ways: through a socket / power plug or using a terminal box.

In the first option, you need to correctly select the outlet and plug. The plate power of 7-8 kW corresponds to a current of 32-38 A. The plug must support wiring with a cross section of 4-6 mm2. Often, a RSh / VSh-32 connector is used to connect the hob. Such a bundle is applicable in one-, two- and three-phase networks.

Advice. It is advisable to apply ready kit, since the plug of one manufacturer may not fit into the outlet of another.

Preference should be given to whites plastic models- they are of higher quality compared to black carbolite ones. Structurally, the elements are no different, the connection order is the same.

Connecting through the terminal is considered by many to be simpler and more reliable. On a plate made of heat-resistant plastic, there are several pairs of contacts and screw clamps. Wires are connected to two opposite sides following the color coding. Terminal blocks are selected according to the power of the appliance.

Instructions for connecting the hob

The commissioning of the electrical panel via the terminal socket box depends on the number of phases in the network. If a three-core wire is laid, then a 1-phase connection scheme is used:

• copper jumpers connect terminals No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3; connect a phase wire to them (black, white or brown);
• zeros (No. 4 and No. 5) connect to the neutral (blue) wire;
• connect the corresponding yellow-green wire to the PE (ground) terminal.

A two-phase connection uses four wires. Their connection is carried out according to the following scheme:

• connect wires No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper, connect a phase conductor to them;
• connect the second phase conductor to terminal No. 3;
• connect terminals No. 4 and No. 5 with a jumper, then connect the neutral conductor to them;
• fix the ground wire.

A five-core cable is used for a three-phase connection. In this case, terminals No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 are connected to three phase conductors, the subsequent procedure is similar to the previous one.

Algorithm for connecting the power plug to the cooking hob:

• Disassemble the plug by unscrewing the fixing screw.
• Route the cable into the connector mechanism and clamp it with clamps.
• Remove the insulation from the wires by 1-1.5 cm and strip the wires.
• Fasten the wires to the plug terminals according to the diagram. The conductor strands must not extend beyond the terminals.
• Assemble the fork body and tighten the screw.

Types of built-in cabinets by installation method

According to the installation method, built-in ovens are divided into dependent and independent. Functionally, they do not differ from each other, but the installation technology is somewhat different.

Dependent Models Supplied as one set with hob. The working areas are connected by wires, have a single control panel, which is usually located on the front of the oven. Dependent cabinets are compact, which is especially important for small kitchens. However, when buying, it must be taken into account that in the event of a failure of the control panel, both devices will stop working.

Independent can be installed separately from the hob. Such a device can be placed anywhere in the kitchen.

Distinctive features of independent models:

• unlimited choice of mounting location oven;
• possibility to refuse the hob - modern models ovens are equipped with the functions of steaming, defrosting, etc.;
• high cost of technology.

The order of installation and connection of the oven

Calculation of the dimensions of the "box" under the oven

Manufacturers of kitchen appliances have developed a single standard that allows you to easily install the oven body in the designated section of the headset. The main thing during installation is to adjust the evenness of the position of the oven. Minor misalignments can reduce heating efficiency. Leveling is carried out by adjusting the height of the legs, the building level is used for control.

To protect the device from overheating and premature failure during installation, a number of nuances should be taken into account:

• the optimal distance from the base of the case to the floor is 8 cm, but not less than 5 cm;
• air gap around the perimeter of the oven - 5 cm;
• distance to the back wall - 4 cm.

Important! Connecting a brass electrical cabinet through an extension cord is prohibited. It is necessary to provide a separate outlet.

Installation and electrical connection

After preparing the site and “fitting” the oven for installation, you can start connecting to the mains. If the power of the stove does not exceed 3.5 kW, then it can be connected through a regular outlet. Otherwise, you will have to pay more attention to the new wiring and the choice of outlet.

Electric hob: do-it-yourself repair

The most common electrical panel malfunction is that the device does not heat up or one of the burners does not work. In this case, self-elimination of the breakdown comes down to the following actions:

1. Check the voltage at the outlet. It is often this electrical point that fails.
2. Check plug and cord. If mechanical damage is found, it is enough to replace the plug.
3. If the previous steps did not solve the problem, then you will have to remove the hob. First you need to disconnect the wires and unscrew the fastening strips.
4. Check the functionality of the transformer and thermal fuse. For this you need a multimeter. If there is no voltage or its difference from the nominal voltage, install new elements.
5. Check the reliability of the wiring connection at all points: switches, control unit, burners or thermostat.

Advice. An affordable alternative to a multimeter is an indicator screwdriver.

The most common causes of breakdown of the electric hob 2, 3 and 4 burners:

• blown fuse due to power surges - installing a network surge protector will solve this problem;
• an open circuit on the heating element leads to a breakdown of one of the burners;
• sensor failure - result improper care and operation;
• surface overheating - thermostat failure.

When choosing a hob, it is necessary to compare the main parameters of the technique:

1. Decide if you need a dependent or independent stove. In the first case, the range of goods is significantly reduced.
2. The second important point is the choice of material for the manufacture of the stove in general and burners in particular. Cast iron spirals are inexpensive, but they heat up for a long time and are energy-intensive. Many people think that the best electric hobs are glass-ceramic. Their main advantages are design creativity and high heating rates. A progressive version of glass ceramics - induction surfaces that are energy efficient.
3. Plate functionality. The presence of additional options makes cooking faster and more convenient. It is good if the hob is equipped with: a timer, a heating function, a standby mode and a safety shutdown.
4. The number of burners is determined based on the intensity of use of the stove and the dimensions of the kitchen. Cooktop electric 4-burner - classic version suitable for a family accustomed to regular meals at home. For arranging a small working area you can choose a compact 2-burner model.

Electric hobs: which is better. Reviews and tips for choosing a work surface.

Have you decided to completely change the interior of the kitchen and make the room more functional, beautiful and modern? It is necessary to treat this process with maximum responsibility and understanding. Replacing the headset is only half the battle. Today it is impossible to imagine a kitchen without a modern, high-tech household appliances, which is able to facilitate the work of the hostess. Installing a hob only at first glance seems to be a simple matter that anyone can easily handle. The slightest mistake can ruin complex expensive equipment and nullify your efforts. Therefore, it is best to enlist the support of professionals.

Installing the hob: the first step is marking.

It must be understood that without proper marking it is impossible to install equipment efficiently and reliably. It can be said with absolute certainty that poor-quality markings can negate all your efforts to modernize the premises. It ensures that all holes made after that will exactly match the required parameters and ensure quality work. Any countertop costs a lot, so the slightest inaccuracy will certainly become a prerequisite for additional financial injections.

Buying a new countertop, especially if it was made from valuable breeds tree, will result in significant costs. Installing a hob - the price of services always depends on many factors and requires the involvement of professionals. Often people go the simplest way and circle the panel laid on the countertop with a pencil, and make holes by eye. Professionals never do this. Accurate measurement of all parameters and impeccable marking of each position to the millimeter will provide an ideal appearance and reliability of new equipment. The stages of high-quality and correct markup include several steps.

Postpone inner space curbstones on a table-top surface. To do this, use a marker or soft pencil to draw parallel lines exactly corresponding to the borders. internal partitions. It should be a perfect rectangle. Connecting the corners, we find the exact center in which the cross is drawn. One line should be parallel to the front and back lines, and the other line should be parallel to the side lines. It is best to use a construction square for this.

Having drawn your own coordinate system, it is necessary to transfer the dimensions of the embedded panel elements to it with the utmost care. It is required to make holes with a small margin, which will help to accurately center the device. After marking and checking their exact correspondence with the original data, we draw parallel lines, which, after connecting them, will be a hole into which, after cutting, the hob will fit exactly.

It is important! In order for the hole to be perfectly even and not go beyond the edges of the mounted equipment, you need to mark up slowly, using quality tools. You need to cut a hole with an electric jigsaw, which makes it possible to make the cut smooth and of high quality.

In order for the installation to go perfectly, it is necessary to perform all the work with high quality.

To cut holes of a given size in a monolithic table top, you can use an electric jigsaw, drill or manual milling machine. Our experts have everything at their disposal. necessary equipment and guarantee the high quality of the work carried out.

By the way! In order to cut a mounting hole with a drill, you need to stock up on several drills with a diameter of 8-10 millimeters and, having passed along the marking contour, drill as many holes as possible with minimum distance from each other. After that, with the same drill, all the holes are gradually connected. The main thing is to work on the inner contour of the markup. To prevent the cut piece from damaging the floor, place a stool or cardboard box in this place.

Using a jigsaw, you can get the desired hole much faster with impeccably even and smooth edges. However, you can’t do without a drill, because you need to make the first hole where you can insert the file of the tool. A special bed and a built-in ruler will help you get the job done flawlessly and quickly. You just need to take care that the fallen piece does not damage the floor.

Best to use milling machine. It is ideal for such work, but only a well-trained specialist who knows how to work with such a tool can use it. Having made a hole, before installing the hob, take care of high-quality waterproofing. During operation, steam and water will inevitably destroy the countertop. It is best to use silicone for protection. It is easy to apply, plastic and does not lose its properties during prolonged use.

Steps for fixing and connecting equipment when installing the hob.

Simple instructions on the sequence of work performed will help to get a complete picture of how the installation should be carried out so that the equipment can be operated long time no additional repair costs.

It is required to immediately connect the gas hose, because then it will be quite difficult to do. It is necessary to install a paranitic washer in the union nut. After that, securely fasten to the existing pipe. It can be found at the bottom of the hob. In order for the connection to be as reliable as possible, paranit should be lubricated with graphite grease or grease.

It is required to glue the entire perimeter of the cut hole with sealing tape. It is included in the equipment purchased in the store. It is necessary to glue the surface of the countertop with a continuous layer. On turns, we simply bend the tape without tearing it. Self-adhesive tape will stick firmly in the right place. It will only be necessary to gradually remove the protective paper layer. It is best if you make a small overlap at the junction so that there is no gap.

The hob fits tightly into the cut hole and is centered so that the front side looks perfect, without distortion. Then with inside four special plates are screwed at the corners with self-tapping screws. They provide a tight connection of equipment with the countertop. It is required to tighten the screws as much as possible, but be careful not to strip the threads.

Connection to the gas distribution system.

It must be remembered that any work related to the installation gas equipment are carried out exclusively by representatives gas services. Otherwise, fines cannot be avoided. Even replacing a conventional faucet requires turning off the gas supply in the riser and then testing and obtaining special permission for use. We take care of all technical and organizational issues and guarantee that all work will be carried out in strict accordance with safety requirements.

Electrical connection.

Installation of the hob in Moscow or the region is carried out by us in strict accordance with existing technological standards. A moisture-proof socket must be used to power the panel. It is mounted in advance on the inside of the headset. It is best to entrust the connection to professionals complex equipment. This will help avoid accidents and malfunctions.

Installing a hob, which can be quite expensive, requires a high level of professionalism and experience. We can give a full guarantee that after the completion of the work you will not have to think about repairs soon. If the wiring in the house does not seem reliable, it is best to install automatic system protection to prevent electric shock in the event of a short circuit.

The hob looks very nice and modern in the kitchen. So, you bought a hob. How to cut now hob on the countertop with your own hands? Is it possible to do it yourself and what are the subtleties and recommendations in this matter?

So, you decided to save money and install the hob with your own hands and not call a furniture assembler, then this article is for you!

Installing the hob is not so difficult, but, as in any business, there are subtleties. The most important thing is to have essential tool, desire and not much patience.

Modern hobs can be dependent (that is, the hob is installed only in combination with a dependent oven) or independent (in this case, the independent hob is connected autonomously).

Dependent hob is connected through the oven, and both components are controlled using a touch panel or conventional controls located on the surface. The dependent hob is located above the oven, as in the design of a familiar stove.

Independent hob can be installed anywhere at the request of the client, the main thing is that it does not violate the basic rules for installing hobs.

Also, hobs are divided according to the method of heating into: gas and electric.

Gas hob

When buying a gas hob, with self installation, you need to carefully check the correctness of all connections, as this is dangerous for your life, so it is better to call a specialist who can connect your hob to you natural gas. There are situations where the hob cannot be installed due to the fact that the gas pipe runs too far from the wall and as a result the size of the countertop and hob, you will not be allowed to do this. Provide it.

Electric hob

With an electric hob, everything is much easier, just follow the rules of electrical safety and caution when working with electrical appliances. When buying a hob, you should carefully consider the dimensions of the hob itself.

Installing the hob

What tool do you need to install the hob? You don't need a lot of tools, namely:

• drill or drill driver;
• screwdriver;
• electric jigsaw;
• pencil;
• roulette;
• measuring corner;
• a pair of wrenches;
• flat and Phillips screwdrivers.

Here is such a tool is needed for tie-in and installation of the hob.

The installation of the hob can be divided into several separate types of work.

First- this is the implementation of the correct insertion of the hob into the countertop.

Second- what needs to be done, the actual connection of the hob to gas or electricity.

And so let's get started. The first step is always to read the documentation that comes with the hob. There is always an approximate instruction and a tie-in diagram for the hob. Based on the dimensions recommended by the manufacturer of the hob, you will need to make a cut in the countertop. Although manufacturers provide instructions for cutting in the documentation with the hob, its accuracy should still be checked.

In order to embed the hob into the kitchen worktop, you need to mark up on which the technological hole will be cut.

Usually, the hob is cut over a special desktop, into which the oven will then be installed.

Where the hob will be installed, from the edge of the countertop, which is adjacent to the wall, we measure from 50 to 75 mm. The manufacturer recommends a standard 50 mm, but in some cases it is not possible to do this, since either a gas pipe passes through, or this is the wish of the owners. At what we measure and put marks in two and draw a solid line along them with a pencil, along this line the tabletop saws will be made. Once again, we check the distance from the edge of the countertop to the line in several places, guided by the expression, measure seven times, cut once!

Now that we have the first line, we can proceed to further lay out the surface. Of course, there are so many masters, so many ways, but I usually do it this way, I put a ruler from the bottom of the tabletop along the wall and draw a line on the edge of the tabletop on one side and then on the other, then I continue it with the help of a measuring corner, so that it goes to upper part countertops, so I know exactly the edges of the inner walls of the desktop.

Then, using the same corner, I draw these lines until they intersect with the first line. I check the angle of intersection between these lines, it should be equal to 90 degrees. After that, from the first line along these lines, you need to measure a distance equal to 490 mm and put marks along which we will draw a line parallel to the first.

But that's not all, because we have marked only two along which the saws will go. Now we measure the distance between the lines that we drew from below, it may differ in size, but it is approximately equal to 576 mm, and our width should be equal to 560 mm. Now subtract 560 from 576 and divide the resulting value in half. It turns out that on each side it is necessary to retreat 8 mm inward and draw a line on each side.

Now the outline along which we will cut is ready. Once again, we check all sizes for compliance, check the diagonals, they should be the same. We drill holes in the corners so that the jigsaw file passes freely through them.

Connecting the hob

After everything is done, you can connect the electric hob to electricity. To do this, use a wire for single-phase current - three cores per four square millimeters each. For this, a PVA cable 3 x 4 and a special 32A socket are used. Most apartments have one phase, so you need to put jumpers, according to the diagram below. For three-phase, use a 5 x 2.5 mm² wire.

The technology for embedding the gas surface is the same, but it is necessary, in addition to the wire, to ensure the sealing of the gas hose.

Installing the hob in the countertop: 6 steps

You can install the hob yourself if you first read the instructions 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.

Do-it-yourself hob installation

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.

You can read more about the features of electric hobs in the article “3 types of hob”.

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. The inside of the panel is attached with double-sided tape or a little plasticine. The tabletop is covered with silicone.

In order to properly install the hob, you should follow the step-by-step instructions

Step by step installation:

1. The tabletop is placed on the bottom of the headset. If the walls are uneven, the countertop will need to be trimmed. And if they pass through it gas pipes, for them it is necessary to make special holes. 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 face down, and markings are made on the reverse side 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 from the 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 should last for many 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.

If you need to install a gas hob, it is better to seek help from specialists

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

Built-in electric stove handy 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 required dimensions in the instructions for the device. Pre-marking greatly simplifies and speeds up the installation process.

Before installing the hob, special markings must be made on the countertop

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 preparation. First of all, it is tedious to choose the right hob, check its passport data, prepare the tools and decide on the installation location. The installation of a gas and electric hob is practically the same.

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

It should be noted that to install the electrical panel, you will also need an installation 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.

When installing the hob, special attention will need to be paid to attaching it to the countertop.

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

The sealing gasket must be attached to the hob. 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 pretreated with a transparent sealant. Sealant residues must be wiped off or carefully removed with a spatula.

Many prefer to use sealing tape because it is safe and environmentally friendly.

Benefits of sealing tape:

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

Bosch seals are known for their high quality. 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.
