Installation Instructions
Safety Precautions for Installation
Before Installing
Check that all packaging; wrappings, stickers/labels and
protective film has been removed from the appliance.
Inspect the hob before installation.
Do not install the appliance if the hob or power cable is
damaged. Call the Lamona Service Line.
Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the induction hob
casing and electronics.
The room in which the induction hob is installed must conform to all relevant local and
national building regulations and safety regulations.
Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following pages.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage this appliance when fitting wall units or a cooker hood above
it. Fit the wall units and the cooker hood before you install the induction hob.
Ensure that the hob surface is clear or abrasive items/materials.
Wipe down if necessary with a soft damp cloth.
Ensure that the power cable will reach the mains power spur and isolation device.
•
Do not install this induction hob over a fridge,
fridge freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing
machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
•
Veneers, laminate coatings, adhesives and plastic
surfaces of surrounding worktops and adjacent
kitchen units, must be temperature resistant (to
at least 75°C). If the veneers and surfaces are
not sufficiently heat resistant, they may become
deformed.
•
Cover strips between the wall and the worktop
behind the hob which are made of solid wood
are permissible, as long as minimum clearances
in accordance with the installation diagrams are
maintained.
Consider the following:
•
Minimum clearances of the hob cut-out towards
the rear of the cabinet are to be maintained in
accordance with the installation diagrams.
•
If installing the hob on top of a drawer, ensure
that no sharp items are stored in the drawer since
these could become trapped on the underside of
the hob and prevent the drawer from opening.
•
For installation next to a tall cupboard, a safety
distance of at least 50mm must be ensured.
The side surface of the tall cupboard should be
fitted with heat resistant material. Due to working
requirements, however, the distance should be at
least 300mm.
