LOCATING THE COOKTOP
Do not set cooktop on locations where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any
opening in the wall behind the cooktop should be sealed. Make sure the flow
of combustion or ventilation air is not obstructed. Proceed with preparing the
cut-out area to the countertop. Follow correct product’s cut-out dimensions
indicated on Fig. 06.
FIXING THE COOKTOP TO COUNTERTOP
A kit of sealing gasket is supplied within the cooktop package. Install the
sealing gasket around the top surface of the cut-out perimeter, figure 07.
This sealing gasket prevents liquids from leaking under the cooktop.
NOTE: Do not use caulk or silicon to fix cooktop to countertop. The cooktop
must be readily removable for service.
COOKTOP CLAMP DOWN INFORMATION
Before unit is installed in counter opening, you must apply supplied fixing
brackets to cooktop as shown in figure 08A and 08B. Insert bracket with
offset side of angle into underneath cover slot on front and back side of unit.
Put in place fixing screw, not tight, so the bracket can slid in and out. Keeping
brackets slid-in, install cooktop in counter opening. Once unit is installed,
clamp down cooktop by sliding out fixing brackets and placing its external tip
on counter underneath surface as shown in figure 08B , then tighten screws
slightly (over tightening may cause damage to cooktop) till unit is firmly
blocked. Once cooktop is fixed in place, remove sealing gasket excess by
using a cutter or a sharp edge tool, figure 09.
COOKTOP INSTALLATION WITH A DRAWER UNDERNEATH
Take out the drawer and install cooktop as indicated in paragraph Cooktop
Clamp Down Information. Then, you must apply a barrier such as a board
made of wood or other means between the cooktop’s underneath cover and
drawer area. Make sure to keep a gap of at least 5 cm between the cooktop
underneath cover and barrier to allow air circulation. This Heat Barrier is to
prevent burns by accidentally touching the hot cooktop underneath cover
while putting hands inside the drawer. Also, you must apply heat barrier
whenever the user can make contact with the underside of the hob.
