Safety instructions for installation


Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.

Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood
above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.

The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all
relevant local and national building regulations and safety
regulations.

The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material.

The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.

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 300 mm between these two
appliances.

When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and
electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot
appliance parts.

The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be
installed 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.

This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with
aftermarket lids or covers fitted.
