Before you install the cooktop
• The induction cooker must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.
• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with
space requirements

washing machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop.

• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and regulations
• A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power
supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to
comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.

contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local
wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)

installation

wall surfaces surrounding the hob.

heat.
