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, as the humidity may
damage the cooktop
●
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

●
there is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop

cupboard or drawer space after installation, a thermal protection barrier is installed
below the base of the cooktop (see below)
●
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
