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
900 mm 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 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 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 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
(AS5601, NZS5261) 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 0.4 mm)—acceptable when used in
front of a fire resistant material
- F&P splashback (not available in Australia) when used with a 10 mm 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.
