Before installation, please ensure the following:
y
The countertop is made of a heat resistant material.
y
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
y
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.
y
The ventilation area must be at least two 2" (50mm) diameter holes or of equivalent area.
y
The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
y
Use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the cooktop.
y
DO NOT install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine or
clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
y
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, ensure the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
y
Ensure the installation complies with all clearance requirements and applicable standards
and regulations.
y
Consult your local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding the installation.
y
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.
During installation, please ensure the following:
y
Seal the 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.
y
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.
y
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.
INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS
3/16"
(5mm)
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
MULTIPLE PRODUCT INSTALLATION
We recommend installing products in separate cutouts with a minimum distance of 3/16"
(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 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).
