WARNING:
Ensuring adequate ventilation
Make sure the induction cooker hob is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid accidental
contact with the hot underside of the hob, or unexpected electric shock while working, a wooden insert must be installed and fixed
with screws at a minimum distance of 50 mm below the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure
these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into posi-
tion.
• Note that the glue that joins plastic or wooden material to the cabinetry,
must be able to resist temperatures of up to 150°C, to avoid the panelling
from coming unstuck.
• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to
withstand a temperature of 90°C.
9.2 Before installing the hob, make sure that:
• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
• The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
• If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
• A suitable isolating switch providing complete isolation 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).
• The isolating switch will be easily accessible by the customer with the hob installed.
• You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
• You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
