Safety distances to the sides and
back of the appliance
The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
edge of the cooktop and a tall unit or
wall.

with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300 mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50 mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50 mm.
Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50 mm.

Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop

Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
