Avoid exposing the product to open flames or extremely hot areas. The necessary free space must be at least the width of the stove and a height of 40 cm (see picture). You can visually blind the resulting open space with a stainless steel plate, for example. Leave a sufficient safety distance between the wall with the tape and other electrical appliances (e.g. toaster, microwave, etc.).

Overlapping mosaic mats (for all other mosaic mats)
For the second and all other mosaic mats, overlap the ends of each mosaic mat on the one previously attached. Thus, after the installation, there should only be a single "joint" left between two mosaic mats. When gluing, do not just bump the mosaic mats against each other! Finally, press the mosaic mats together again in the overlapping areas. In the event that a mosaic mat or corner should peel off after being attached, simply use a small amount of clear glue to attach it to the wall again for the cosmetic repair.
