DHHS80 Ceramic Hob Instructions

CAUTION:

• In order to avoid a hazard this appliance must be installed according to these installation instructions

WARNING:

• This appliance is to be installed only by an authorized person

• This appliance must be used only for the task it has explicitly been designed for, that is for cooking

foodstuffs. Any other form of usage is to be considered as inappropriate and therefore dangerous.

• Do NOT place combustible materials or products on this appliance at any time

• Do NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in use.

CLEARANCES:

Installation clearances and protection of combustible surfaces shall comply as specified below.
Fig.1

450 mm

750 mm

The installation will comply with the dimensions in Fig. 1 bearing in mind that:

• A minimum clearance of 60mm has to be kept between the bottom of the cooking hob and the top
of an appliance or a thermal barrier (see next page)

• Overhead clearances – In no case shall the clearances between the highest part of the hob and a
range hood be less than 650mm, or for an overhead exhaust fan, 750mm. Any other downward facing
combustible surface less than 600mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full
width and depth of the cooking surface area. However in no case shall this clearance to any surface be
less than 450mm.

• Side Clearance – Where the dimension from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical
combustible surface is less than 200mm, the surface shall be protected to a height of not less than

3

150mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area.

• Protection of combustible surfaces – The required protection shall ensure that the surface tem-
perature of the combustible surface does not exceed 50°C above ambient. The fixing of 5mm thick
ceramic tiles to the surface or attaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering with sheet
metal with minimum thickness of 0.4mm would satisfy this requirement.

CAUTION:
Should a built-in oven or any other appliance producing heat be fitted directly under the
ceramic cook-top, the appliance (oven) must be insulated from the ceramic cook-top so
that the heat produced by the oven, when measured under the touch control side of the
hob does not exceed 60°C.
The underside surface of the cooking hob can reach a temperature exceeding 105°C dur­ing normal use.
If after installation the underside surface is accessible through under bench cupboards
and the like, it is essential that a rigid barrier is installed so that such access is restricted.
In order to avoid a hazard the barrier must be of low thermal conductivity material in­stalled according to the instructions for installation.

THE APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR INFIRM PERSONS
WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH
THE APPLIANCE.
THERMAL BARRIER INSTALLATION:

WARNING:

• If the hob is installed over drawers or cupboards, a thermal protection barrier must be fitted at
least 60mm beneath the base of the hob.
(see Fig. 1)

Note:

• For access to the hob for servicing or installation, ensure that the barrier can be removed from be­neath by use of a tool.

• A gap of 20mm may be allowed at rear for electrical connection and ventilation.

INSTALLATION:

• Apply the adhesive seal around the edge of the hob ensuring that the ends do not overlap or leave
a gap.

• Slot in the cooking hob into the cut-out (fig. 2b) of the work bench and locate it correctly.

• Adjust the clamps according to the worktop thickness (30 or 40mm – fig. 2a)

and tighten the fixing screws until the hob is firmly secured.

• Using a sharp tool, trim any excess seal which protrudes from the edges of the hob.
