z Place the cooktop into the cutout, using a sharp cutter or trimmer knife, trim the
excess sealing material around the edge of the cooktop. Take care not to damage
the bench top.
Before you install the cooktop, make sure that
1. the benchtop is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space
requirements
2. the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
3. the cooktop will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing
machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics
4. if the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan
5. the installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards
and
6. regulations a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains
power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to
comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an
approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all
active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the
requirements)
7. the isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the cooktop
installed
8. you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation
9. you use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop.
