If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier
does not need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must
be maintained between the underside of the cooktop and
the top of the oven.
Installation of cooktop
into the kitchen bench
Installation procedure:
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in
accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1
1. For cutout dimensions and clearances refer Fig.1.
2. The clips and the adhesive seal (underside of the
cooktop) are factory-fitted: do not under any
circumstances remove them. The seal ensures that the
entire work surface will be watertight, and prevents water
seepage. In order to fit the appliance into the kitchen unit,
first place the cooktop in the correct position then loosen
each of the clips so that they all turn freely (it is not
necessary to completely undo them).
Insert and centre the cooktop.
Press the sides of the cooktop until it is supported around
its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully. Fig. 3.
Connection
Electrical
An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the
hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must
remain accessible after installation of the appliance.
Important note:
This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by
means of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the
kitchen unit to prevent it from coming into contact with hot
parts of the hob (or an oven installed underneath) and
remain accessible after installation of the cooktop.
When making this connection make sure that the lead
cannot come into contact with hot parts of the hob.
Important: This appliance must be earthed. When
connecting the cooktop ensure that the earth wire is
connected first and that all wires are connected to the
correct terminals. Fig. 4.
