Installation Of Cooktop Into The Kitchen Bench - Siemens EC645HB90A User Instructions

Installation of cooktop
into the kitchen bench
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting
shield must be fitted. This shield must be at least 10 mm
from the lowest part of the hotplate and must be capable
of withstanding the appliance temperatures. Minimum
thickness of benchtop is 30 mm. See Fig. 2.
Fig. 2
If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier
does not need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must
be maintained between the underside of the cooktop and
the top of the oven.
Installation procedure:
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in
accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1
1. For cutout dimensions and clearances refer Fig.1.
2. The clips and the adhesive seal (underside of the
cooktop) are already fitted (depending on the model), do
not under any circumstances remove them. The seal
ensures that the entire work surface will be watertight,
and prevents water seepage. In order to fit the appliance
into the kitchen unit, first place the cooktop in the correct
position then loosen each of the clips so that they all turn
freely (it is not necessary to completely undo them).
Insert and centre the cooktop.
Press the sides of the cooktop until it is supported around
its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully. Fig. 3.
