INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install the appliance, please ensure the following:
z
The countertop is made of a heat resistant material.
z
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
z
There is adequate flow of cool air from the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop. You
may ventilate from adjacent cupboards, but ensure that the available air supply will not
be restricted.
z
The ventilation area must be at least two 2" (50mm) diameter holes or of an
equivalent area.
z
You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop.
z
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.
z
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
z
The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations.
z
You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
z
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be
provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a rangehood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (127mm) beyond the bottom of the overhead cabinets.
When you install the appliance
z
Seal exposed bare edges of the cutout with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof
polyurethane to prevent possible moisture creeping between the cooktop trim and
the countertop.
z
Take extreme care not to chip, crack, or break the top glass surfaces during installation.
A heavy metal tool or part accidentally dropped on the glass could damage it.
z
If, after following the instructions given, correct performance cannot be achieved, please
contact your nearest Fisher & Paykel Service Centre, Customer Care, or contact us through
our local website listed at the end of this document.
