Whirlpool AKT 315/IX Manual page 3

INSTALLATION
• The cooktop must be set into a worktop between 30 mm and 50 mm deep.
• There must be nothing between the cooktop and the oven (cross rails, brackets, etc.).
• Make sure the power cord is long enough to allow convenient installation.
• The distance between the lower face of the glass ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating
panel must be at least 20 mm.
• For built-in dimensions and installation see the picture in this paragraph.
• A minimum distance must be maintained between the hob and the hood above it. Please refer to the
user manual of the hood for more informations.
• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (unless it has already been fitted), after having cleaned its surface.
• Do not install the cooktop near a dishwasher or washing machine, so that the electronic circuits do not come into contact with steam or
moisture, which could damage them.
• If an oven is installed beneath the cooktop, make sure that it is equipped with a cooling system. If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds
the maximum permitted temperature, the cooktop will switch off automatically; in this case, wait for a few minutes until the internal temperature
of the electronic circuits reaches a tolerable level, at which point it will be possible to switch the hob on again.
PLACING THE HOB
Important: remove any protective film before installing the hob.
Make sure that the opening in the worktop for the hob is cut according to the dimensions given in the drawing, paying attention to the tolerance
range. The hob should not be forced into the worktop. Forcing the glass ceramic top may cause it to crack (even at a later date)!
If the worktop is made of wood, use the spring clips and screws provided. Secure the spring clips (A) with the screws supplied, paying attention to
the specified distances. Fit the hob into the worktop.

REMOVING THE HOB:
To remove the hob, first, disconnect it from the electric supply. It is strongly recommended to free the underneath part from the oven, drawer,
separator, or other. It allows the technician to access the lower part of the hob to unfasten the four clips with a screwdriver, lift the hob and remove it,
avoiding any worktop damage.
