Before connecting the unit, check whether the local connection
conditions (type of gas) are compatible with the unit’s setting.
Observe any special conditions imposed by local suppliers
(utilities). The specifications of this cooktop are stated on the
data label located on the bottom of the cooktop base.
A duplicate data label is supplied for adhesion to an accessible
location near the hotplate if the data label on the base of the
hotplate cannot be accessed when the hotplate is installed.
Clearances
A range hood fitted above the top must be installed according
to the installation instructions for the range hood. A minimum
distance of 650 mm is required for a range hood and 750 mm
for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from the
edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible
material for a height of 150 mm for the entire length of the hob.
Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at
least 650 mm above the top of the burner and no construction
shall be within 450 mm above the top of the burner.
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting shield
must be fitted.
■
The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest part of the
hotplate and must be capable of withstanding the appliance
temperatures. Minimum thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
■
The shield material must be mdf or similar with minimum
thickness of 12 mm.
■
The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide x
480 mm deep.
■
Provide cut-out in right hand rear of shield of 80 mm wide x
80 mm deep to provide for gas regulator / LP connection
fitting.
After installation of the shield the clearance around the top and
sides of shield will allow adequate ventilation. Ensure the side
and top clearances are not obstructed.
If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier does not
need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must be maintained
between the underside of the cooktop and the top of the oven.
Installation of cooktop into the kitchen bench
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the periphery of
the nearest burner to any vertical surface is less than 200 mm,
the surface shall be protected in accordance with clauses
6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
Make an appropriate size cut in the worktop surface,
depending on the installation method: standard (a) or flush (b).
For flush installation:
■
All cuts in the worktop surface should be done by a
specialised shop.
■
The cuts should be clean and precise, as the cut edge is on
the surface. The stability of the furniture should also be
ensured after cutting work.
■
Use only specially designed work surfaces, resistant to high-
temperature and water (e.g. natural stone or tiled).
■
Surrounding furniture must be resistant to temperatures up to
90 °C.
Installation procedure:
a) Standard installation
Depending on the model, the adhesive seal may be factory-
fitted. If this is the case, it should not be removed under any
circumstances, since the adhesive seal prevents leaks. If the
seal has not been factory-fitted, apply it to the underside of the
hob.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:
1.
Remove the clips from the accessory bag and screw them
into the position indicated so that they can turn freely.
2.
Insert and centre the hob.
Press the sides of the hob until it is supported around its
entire perimeter.
3.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the work
surface is.
b) Flush installation
1.
Complete a normal installation of the appliance making sure
that it is surrounded by a uniform slot. The hob surface
should be slightly below the work surface.
For tile worktops, if necessary, raise the bearing surfaces with
strips resistant to water and temperatures.
2.
Check the operation and position of appliance.
3.
Fill the gap between the worktop and hob with conventional
silicone adhesive appropriate in the colour you desire.
Note:
If unsuitable silicone adhesive is used on natural stone
surfaces then this can produce colours that can not be
removed. Our Technical Assistance Service can provide you
