INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you start
Before starting to install the cooktop, make sure that:
●
the cooktop has not been damaged during transport. In case of doubt after unpacking
and checking it, contact the retailer
●
the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the
cooktop (as detailed on the appliance data label and in the ‘Gas rate and injector size
table’ further below) are compatible
●
the cooktop will be connected to a 220-240 V 50 Hz power supply and earthed via the
power supply cable
●
there is an earthed power outlet within the reach of the cooktop’s power supply cable
(within 900mm from the rear right of the cooktop, see dimension G in ‘Clearances’)
●
the power outlet will be accessible after installation
●
the power supply cable will not touch any hot or metal parts
●
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply
is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with
local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type
and provide a 3mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase]
conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)
●
the isolating switch will be accessible after installation
●
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
●
exposed bare edges of the cutout are sealed with an oil-based paint or moistureproof
polyurethane to prevent possible damage from moisture creeping between the cooktop
trim and the benchtop.
Standards requirements
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards
(AS/NZS 5601.1 current edition) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface
temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65
o
C above ambient.
This is typically achieved by:
●
having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see dimensions A, B, and C in
‘Clearances’) OR
●
protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (see dimension D in
‘Clearances’) with non-combustible surface materials such as:
●
5 mm-thick ceramic tiles—these alone are adequate
●
tempered glass or sheetmetal (minimum thickness 0.4mm)—acceptable when used
in front of a fire resistant material
●
F&P splashback (not available in Australia) when used with a 10mm clearance from
the rear edge of the cooktop to the front of the splashback (SB90 and SB1216
splashback models only).
Note: these cooktops have been tested by an independent testing lab and meet
standards requirements when installed to the dimensions in these instructions.
