There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST
ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob
into position.
Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden
material to the furniture, has to resist to temperature
not below 150
℃
, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must
therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90
℃
.
9.2 Before installing the hob, make sure that
The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere
with space requirements.
The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and regulations.
A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains
power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and
positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air
gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the
local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob
installed.
You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding
installation.
You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles)
for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
