Installation instructions
Before you install the cooktop, make sure that
the benchtop is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
the cooktop will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine or
clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics
if the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan
the installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring
rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm 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 easily accessible to the customer with the cooktop installed
you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation
you use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the cooktop.
When you have installed the cooktop, make sure that
the power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers
there is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop
if the cooktop is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is
installed below the base of the cooktop
the isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer
you complete the ‘Final checklist’ at the end of these installation instructions.
The thermal protection barrier must be:
removable
heat-resistant
made from low thermal
conductivity material
at least 25 mm below the
plastic housing of the
cooktop chassis
25
mm min.
