correct positioning and service operations. They should be read without fail, especially by the technician
who will position the appliance.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE APPLIANCE
There are several points to pay attention to when choosing a location for your cooktop. Make sure to take
into account our recommendations below in order to prevent any problems and dangerous situations, which
might occur later!
When choosing a location for the cooktop, attention should be paid that there are no flammable or
combustible materials in the close vicinity, such as curtains, oil, cloth etc. which quickly catch fire.
Ensure a distance between the cooktop edge and rear or side walls of at least 50mm.
Furniture surrounding the cooktop must be made of materials resistant to temperatures above 100 C°.
Required changes to wall cabinets and exhaust fans above a built-in cooktop as well as minimum heights
from the oven board are shown in Figure 1. Accordingly, the exhaust fan should be at a minimum height of
65 cm from the cooktop. If there is no exhaust fan the height should not be less than 70 cm.
