The CV492105M is a 90 cm flex induction cooktop with an integrated, highly efficient ventilation system. It offers flexible positioning of cookware across combined cooking areas, supported by flex and booster functions plus a frying sensor. A non-reflective matte surface reduces visible fingerprints and scratches, while a solid stainless steel knob with optional black robust finishing provides precise control and personalisation. The system supports both air extraction and recirculation, with dishwasher-safe metal grease filters for easy cleaning.

Installation Notes

Bottom cabinet width minimum 60 cm.
Worktop depth minimum 60 cm with unducted recirculation; minimum 65 cm with ducted recirculation or extraction.
Immersion depth 227 mm.
Unducted recirculation set CA082011 requires a vertical aperture of minimum 25 mm behind the furniture back panel; 50 mm suggested for ideal performance.
In air extraction, a one-way flap with a maximum opening pressure of 65 Pa should be installed.
Appliance must be fixed from underneath and must be freely accessible from below.
Installation is possible in worktops made of stone, synthetics or solid wood; heat resistance and watertight sealing of cut edges must be observed. For other materials, consult the worktop manufacturer.
Bearing capacity and stability, especially with thin worktops, must be supported with suitable substructures, taking into account appliance weight and additional loads.
Groove must be continuous and even to ensure uniform placing of the appliance on the gasket; do not use discontinuous lining.
Joint width may vary due to dimensional tolerances of the glass ceramic cooktop and worktop cut-out.
When installing a ventilation hood with air extraction mode and a chimney-vented fireplace, the hood’s power supply line needs a suitable safety switch.
The appliance’s air outlet on the backside can be directly accessed with a flat duct element (DN 150).
Please check the user manual for how to switch off the WiFi module.
