IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION
Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation
hood above it.
Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.
The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all rel-
evant local and national building regulations and safety regulations.
The countertop must be heat-resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so
that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall
strips must be heat-resistant as well.
The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers,
dishwashers, or washer/dryers.
A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat
fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 12" (300 mm) between these two
appliances.
The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooktop must
be no more than 13" (330 mm) or a greater depth specified by the
manufacturers as tested by the certification agency.
When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas pipe and
power cord cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.
The power cord and any flexible gas connection pipes must be in-
stalled in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any
moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
