PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
MULTIPLE PRODUCT INSTALLATION
Prior to installing your cooktop, ensure:
z
the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the
appliance are compatible. For adjustment conditions for this appliance see ‘Gas rate summary’.
z
a suitable disconnection switch is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and
positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. A means of disconnection
with at least a 3mm air gap contact separation in all poles must be incorporated into the
fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules, unless the local wiring rules allow for
alternative means.
z
the appliance is connected to a 220V – 240V 50Hz (10 A) power supply only and earthed via
the power supply cable.
z
there is a power outlet within reach of the power supply cable (900mm from the centre rear
of the product). This must be accessible after installation. The power supply cable should
not touch any metal parts.
z
if the power supply cable is damaged, it is replaced only by the special cable: Part
no. 534993 KIT SPARES TRMNL BLK-FLEX 10, that can be purchased from authorised
Fisher & Paykel Service Agents.
z
the supply connection point (gas shut-off valve) is accessible after installation.
z
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material.
z
the installation complies with all the requirements of Australian and New Zealand Gas
Installation Standards (AS/NZS 5601.1.2010), including that the product has to be installed
so that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65 OC
above ambient. Refer to ‘Clearance Dimensions’.
z
if installed with an approved flexible hose, the hose should not come in contact with
the bottom of the appliance or any sharp edges. Flexible hose assemblies should be
AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified with a maximum length of 1.20m.
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 benchtop.
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 Authorised Service Centre, Customer Care, or contact
us through our local website listed at the end of this document.
We recommend installing products in separate cutouts with a minimum distance of 5mm
between the glass edges. If installing multiple products within the same cutout adjacent
to each other, a joining strip kit is required. This kit creates a non non-visual, structural
join between the two cooktops that ensures the weight of both cooktops is sufficiently
supported. Joining strip kits (PN 534731) can be purchased separately through an authorised
Fisher & Paykel dealer. Visit fisherpaykel.com for more information.
The minimum clearance measurements for different products may vary. Always use the greater
distance when pairing different products (eg an induction model and wok burner model).
