Clearances
A range hood fitted above the top must be installed
according to the installation instructions for the range
hood. A minimum distance of 650 mm is required for a
range hood and 750 mm for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from
the edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-
combustible material for a height of 150 mm for the
entire length of the hob. Any combustible construction
above the hotplate must be at least 650 mm above the
top of the burner and no construction shall be within
450 mm above the top of the burner.
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting
shield must be fitted.
The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest
■
part of the hotplate and must be capable of
withstanding the appliance temperatures. Minimum
thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
The shield material must be mdf or similar with
■
minimum thickness of 12 mm.
The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide
■
x 480 mm deep.
Provide cut-out in right hand rear of shield of 80 mm
■
wide x 80 mm deep to provide for gas regulator / LP
connection fitting.
After installation of the shield the clearance around the
top and sides of shield will allow adequate ventilation.
Ensure the side and top clearances are not obstructed.
If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier
does not need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must
be maintained between the underside of the cooktop
and the top of the oven.

Installation of cooktop into the kitchen
bench
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in
accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
Make an appropriate size cut in the worktop surface,
depending on the installation method. standard (a) or
flush (b). For flush installation:
All cuts in the worktop surface should be done by a
■
specialised shop.
The cuts should be clean and precise, as the cut
■
edge is on the surface. The stability of the furniture
should also be ensured after cutting work.
Use only specially designed work surfaces, resistant
■
to high-temperature and water (e.g. natural stone or
tiled).
Surrounding furniture must be resistant to
■
temperatures up to 90 °C.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the cutting surfaces
with a special glue. This protects them from moisture
which could collect under the work surface.
Wear protective gloves to fit the hob.
Note:
A) Standard installation
Depending on the model, the adhesive seal may be
factory-fitted. If this is the case, it should not be
removed under any circumstances, since the adhesive
seal prevents leaks. If the seal has not been factory-
fitted, apply it to the underside of the hob.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:
Remove the clips from the accessory bag and screw
1.
them into the position indicated so that they can turn
freely.
Insert and centre the hob.
2.
Press the sides of the hob until it is supported
around its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
3.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the
work surface is.
Do not stick the hob onto the worktop with silicone.
