FITTING REQUIREMENTS
This cooktop can be built into a working surface 30 to 40 mm thick and 600 mm deep.
In order to install the ceramic hob into the kitchen xture, a hole with the dimensions shown
in gure 4.1 has to be made, keeping in consideration the following:
• The cooktop shall 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 shall be provided with cooling fan.
The two appliances should be connected to the electrical supply with independent
connections.
• IMPORTANT WARNING! This cooktop requires adequate supply of fresh, cool
air to fully function. The base of the cooktop must have direct unrestricted
ventilation to the room where the cooktop is installed. Follow the requirements
ofgure4.3or4.4.
• There must be a distance of at least 650 mm between the hob and any wall cupboard
or extractor hood positioned immediately above (see g. 4.2).
• We would point out that the adhesive which bonds the plastic laminate to the furniture
must withstand temperatures not less than 150° C to avoid delamination.
• The walls of the units must be capable of resisting temperatures of 75 °C above
room temperature.
• Do not seal the cooktop into the benchtop with silicone or glue; this makes future
servicing difcult. The manufacturer will not cover the costs of removing the cooktop,
or of damage caused by this removal.
• The walls surrounding the cooktop must be made of heat-resistant material.
• Donotinstalltheappliancenearinammablematerials(eg.curtains).
