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 ven-
tilation 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 ser-
vicing difcult. 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 inammable materials (eg. curtains).
