INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before installation, please ensure the following:
a suitable disconnection switch is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and
z
positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. A means of disconnection
with at least a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles must be incorporated into
the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules, unless the local wiring rules allow for
alternative means.
The benchtop is made of a heat resistant material.
z
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
z
There is adequate flow of cool air from the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop. You
z
may ventilate from adjacent cupboards, but ensure that the available air supply will not
be restricted.
The ventilation area must be at least 50mm diameter holes or of equivalent area.
z
The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
z
Use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
z
surrounding the cooktop.
the cooktop will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing
z
machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
DO NOT install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine or
z
clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, ensure the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
z
Ensure the installation complies with all clearance requirements and applicable standards
z
and regulations.
Consult your local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding the installation.
z
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
z
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a rangehood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 127mm beyond the bottom of the overhead cabinets.
During installation, please ensure the following:
Seal the exposed bare edges of the cutout with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof
z
polyurethane to prevent possible moisture creeping between the cooktop trim and
the benchtop.
Take extreme care not to chip, crack, or break the top glass surfaces during installation.
z
A heavy metal tool or part accidentally dropped on the glass could damage it.
If, after following the instructions given, correct performance cannot be achieved, please
z
contact your nearest Fisher & Paykel Service Centre, Customer Care, or contact us through
our local website listed at the end of this document.
WARNING!
The owner carries all risk for flush mounting the cooktop. The owner must ensure the
cooktop has been cut out from the countertop before servicing can be carried out.
Fisher & Paykel will not be liable for any costs associated with removing or replacing a flush-
mounted and/or sealed-in product, nor for repairing any damage that may be incurred by
doing this.
PARTS SUPPLIED
MULTIPLE PRODUCT INSTALLATION
5mm
We recommend installing products in separate cutouts with a minimum distance of 5mm
between the glass edges. If installing multiple products adjacent to each other within the
same cutout, a separate joining strip kit is required for installation. The kit is available from the
nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre or our website www.fisherpaykel.com.
If installing different products adjacent to each other (eg a wok burner next to an induction
cooktop), the minimum clearance measurements for the different products may vary. Always
use the greater distance.
