not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material.

 The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,

freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.

 This cooktop must not be installed above ovens unless these

have a built-in cooling fan.

 After installation, ensure that nothing can come into contact with

the connection cable and that it is without hindrance.

 The connection cable may not come into contact with any moving

kitchen component (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical
obstruction which could damage it.

 Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following

pages.

Safety distances

Safety distance above the cooktop

The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the rangehood must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it.

If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance of 600mm
must be maintained.

11274160-02

For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.

When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, observe the greatest
specified safety distance.

*INSTALLATION*

11274160-02

Installation

Safety distances to the sides and
back of the appliance

The minimum distance shown below
must be maintained between the back
edge of the cooktop and a tall unit or
wall.

Ideally the cooktop should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear or a tall
unit or wall on one side (right or left),
taking into account the distances
below. On the other side, however, no
tall unit or wall should stand closer than
300mm to the edge of the cooktop.
Before installing the cooktop, check
that the below clearance requirements
are met.

Minimum horizontal distance from the
back edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.

Minimum horizontal distance from the
right edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.

Minimum horizontal distance from the
left edge of the cooktop to a
combustible surface:
50mm.

Minimum safety distance underneath
the cooktop

To ensure sufficient ventilation to the
cooktop, a minimum distance must be
left between the underside of the
cooktop and any oven, interim shelf or
drawer.

The minimum gap between the
underside of the cooktop and

- the top edge of an oven: 2mm

- the top edge of an interim shelf:
2mm

- the top edge of a drawer: 5mm

- the base of a drawer: 75mm

Interim shelf

It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf
underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.

Leave a gap of 10mm at the back
between the cabinet and the interim
shelf to accommodate the power
cable.

A gap of 20mm is recommended at the
front between the cabinet and interim
shelf for better ventilation of the
cooktop.

Installation notes

Surface-mounted installation

Seal between the cooktop and the
worktop

 Damage caused by incorrect

installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop

could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.

Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

*INSTALLATION*

11274160-02

Installation

Flush-fit installation

Flush-fit installation is only possible in
natural stone (granite, marble), solid
wood and tiled worktops. When using
a worktop made from any other
material, please check first with the
worktop manufacturer that it is
suitable for installing a flush-mounted
cooktop.

The internal width of the base unit
underneath the appliance must be at
least as wide as the inner worktop cut­out (see “Installation – Installation
dimensions – Flush”), so that the
cooktop is easily accessible from
underneath after installation and the
bottom half of the casing can be
removed for maintenance. If the
underside of the cooktop is not freely
accessible after installation, any
sealant used to plug the gaps around
the appliance must be removed to
enable the cooktop to be lifted out of
the cut-out should this be necessary.

Natural stone worktops

The cooktop is placed directly in the
cut-out.

Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops,
glass worktops

The cooktop is placed on a wooden
frame inside the cut-out. The frame
must be provided on site and is not
supplied with the appliance.

Sealing strip

Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.

Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.
