IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Note to the installer:
Please leave this instruction book
with the consumer for the local
electrical inspector’s use.

Installation

The minimum distances given in
these Installation Instructions must
be observed in order to ensure safe
operation. Failure to do so increases
the risk of fire.

The cabinetry and venting hood
should be installed first to prevent
damage to the cooktop.

The countertop must be bonded
with heat resistant (212 °F /100 °C)

adhesive to prevent distortion.

50mm

The cooktop can only be installed

as shown in the illustrations, while
maintaining the required safety
distances shown. Do not install the
cooktop between 2 tall cabinets, this is
a fire hazard.

a A minimum distance of 2"
(50 mm) from the cooktop to the rear
wall and a side wall must be
maintained for safety.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire

by reaching over heated surfaces,
cabinet storage space above the
cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is necessary, the risk can be
reduced by installing a venting hood to
project horizontally a minimum of 5"
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
