Other Installation Requirements
A minimum vertical clearance of 750 mm [30"] is required between the top of the cooking surface and
the bottom of any unprotected combustible material, such as cabinets, wooden trim etc.
In the back, leave a minimum of 10 mm [3/8"] between the cooktop edge and adjacent vertical surfaces
(backsplash, wall, high cabinets etc.). This space is needed for the unit to breath properly.
If a downdraft ventilation system is used, a minimum of 6 mm (1/4") of clearance is required between the rear
edge of the cooktop and the downdraft snorkel.
Leave a minimum of 50 mm [2"] underneath the unit for the air intake.
During cooking, the built-in fans inside the cooktop will operate constantly to keep the internal components
cool. The air intakes are on the bottom of the cooktop box and the warm air exhausts are located on the
back of the rim, as shown on the schematic. If air intake or exhaust is obstructed, cooktop safeties will either
diminish the power output or shut down the unit.
We suggest that you should periodically check that there are no objects (dust, paper, etc.) which could
obstruct cooling air inlets under your induction cooktop.
Although induction-cooktop heat rejection is minimal and the unit does not create any fumes in operation,
such unit must be installed underneath a properly sized ventilation hood for exhausting any smell, vapor and
smoke created by cooking itself. Also, a proper downdraft system can be used for ventilation.
The unit must be installed such that it can be pulled without difficulty out of the cut-out for servicing
or cleaning.
Your cooktop must always breath adequately. Make sure that the air inlet and its exhaust are not
obstructed.
The unit must not be instlled above a washing machine, a refrigerator or a deep-freezer box.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units should be avoided.
Never glue, silicon or wedge the units inside its cut-out
