Before you start
Before starting to install the cooktop, make sure that:
the cooktop has not been damaged during transport. In case of doubt after unpacking
●
and checking it, contact the retailer
the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the
●
cooktop (as detailed on the appliance data label and in the 'Gas rate and injector size
table' further below) are compatible
the cooktop will be connected to a 220-240 V 50 Hz power supply and earthed via the
●
power supply cable
there is an earthed power outlet within the reach of the cooktop's power supply cable
●
(within 900mm from the rear right of the cooktop, see dimension G in 'Clearances')
the power outlet will be accessible after installation
●
the power supply cable will not touch any hot or metal parts
●
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply
●
is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with
local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type
and provide a 3mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase]
conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)
the isolating switch will be accessible after installation
●
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
●
exposed bare edges of the cutout are sealed with an oil-based paint or moistureproof
●
polyurethane to prevent possible damage from moisture creeping between the cooktop
trim and the benchtop.
Standards requirements
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards
(AS/NZS 5601.1 current edition) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface
temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65
This is typically achieved by:
having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see dimensions A, B, and C in
●
'Clearances') OR
protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (see dimension D in
●
'Clearances') with non-combustible surface materials such as:
5 mm-thick ceramic tiles—these alone are adequate
●
tempered glass or sheetmetal (minimum thickness 0.4mm)—acceptable when used
●
in front of a fire resistant material
F&P splashback (not available in Australia) when used with a 10mm clearance from
●
the rear edge of the cooktop to the front of the splashback (SB90 and SB1216
splashback models only).
Note: these cooktops have been tested by an independent testing lab and meet
standards requirements when installed to the dimensions in these instructions.
