IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - INSTALLATION

Risk of damage caused by incorrect installation.

Incorrect installation can damage the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified specialist.

Damage from falling objects.

Take care not to damage the cooktop when installing cabinetry or a ventilation
hood above it.
Install the cabinetry and ventilation hood before installing the cooktop.

 

The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all rel-

evant local and national building regulations and safety regulations.

 

The countertop must be heat-resistant (up to 212°F / 100°C), so

that it does not become deformed or the veneer detached. The wall
strips must be heat-resistant as well.

 

The cooktop must not be installed above refrigerators/freezers,

dishwashers, or washer/dryers.

 

A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat

fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 12" (300 mm) between these two
appliances.

 

The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the cooktop must

be no more than 13" (330 mm) or a greater depth specified by the
manufacturers as tested by the certification agency.

 

When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas pipe and

power cord cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.

 

The power cord and any flexible gas connection pipes must be in-

stalled in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any
moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped.

 

Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following

pages.
