INSTALLATION
Before Installing the Cooktop
•
Ensure the work surface is square and level and no structural members interfere with
space requirements.
•
Ensure the work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•
If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
•
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.
•
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm 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 easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
•
You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
•
You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall
surfaces surrounding the hob.
Cut out a hole in the benchtop referring to the specifications listed in the "Location
Requirements" section.
o
Ensure a minimum distance of 50mm is preserved around the hole.
o
Ensure the thickness of the benchtop is at least 30mm.
o
Select a heat-resistant and insulated benchtop material (wood and similar
fibrous or hygroscopic material should not be used unless specifically
designed to be used with induction cooktops).
o
Ensure the Induction cooktop is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are
not blocked.
o
Ensure the induction cooktop is in good working condition before installation.
o
Ensure that the adhesives used in the installation must be able to resist
temperatures up to 150°C to avoid becoming unstuck.
o
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must be able to withstand a
temperature of 90°C.
