Warning and Safety instructions

General

Fit the wall units and rangehood before fitting the cooktop to avoid damaging the appliance.

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 backmoulds must be of heat-resistant material.

This equipment is not designed for

maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. However it may be suitable for such usage subject to a risk assessment of the installation being carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.

This appliance must not be installed

over a dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, refrigerator, freezer or fridge-freezer. The high temperatures radiated by it could damage the appliance below.

After installing the cooktop, ensure

that the connection cable cannot come into contact with the underside of the appliance. Make sure that there is no mechanical obstruction, such as a drawer, which could damage it.

Observe carefully the safety

distances given on the following pages.

Do not use any sealant except

where expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop (see "Sealant").

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

This appliance must be installed and connected to services in accordance with local and national safety and building regulations.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety clearances

Safety clearance above the cooktop

A minimum safety clearance must be maintained between the appliance and the rangehood above it. See the rangehood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the rangehood, a minimum safety clearance of at least 760 mm must be maintained. For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum clearance of at least 760 mm must be maintained between them and the appliance below.

When two or more appliances are installed together below a rangehood, e.g. an electric cooktop and a gas wok combiset, which have different safety clearances given in their installation instructions you should select the greater distance of the two.

Side / rear clearances to the cooktop

Ideally the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the cooktop (see illustrations).
