2. Sealing the glass ceramic hob
Seal the space around the glass using black silicone,
avoiding air bulbs. Gently remove any excess
silicone.
Spray a mild solution of water and liquid soap all
around the silicone beading.
Using a hard rubber or plastic spatula, spread the
silicone beading evenly, then remove the excess
silicone, cleaning and wetting the spatula now and
again with the soapy solution.
The glass surface and worktop must be level and
free of any silicone residue. If necessary, use a wet
finger to level out the silicone surface.
The mastic and silicone will take approximately 24
hours to set and reach full strength and elasticity.
During this period, the glass ceramic hob should not
be used, nor should it be subject to mechanical
stress.
Attention:
Before sealing special materials (stone,
etc.), make sure the material in question is
compatible with the primer and the mastic.
Attention: If the above recommendations are
not followed, after a certain period of time,
water and other liquids may penetrate the
worktop, causing swelling at the edges that
may result in damage to your glass ceramic
hob.
Note:
In the event the hob is fitted into a stone worktop,
request technical advice from your supplier or carry
out a test of the cleaning agents to be used, as well
as the primer and silicone.
Such tests should be carried on unseen areas or on
samples.
