INSTALLATION OF BUILT IN COOKTOP
In order to prevent leakage of any liquids on the counter, a
special sealing tape is supplied together with your cooktop.
Apply this seal around the bottom edge of the cooktop (see
below). The brackets are installed to hold the cooktop in
place.
Cut out a hole in the bench top as shown below. Place the
cooktop (controls to the front) in the hole and fix in position
using the brackets.
These induction cooktops are fitted with cooling fans that
draw fresh air from the rear of the unit and expel the
warmed air through vents at the front. When installing your cooktop, the following ventilation requirements
are essential:
-
4mm ventilation cut-out below the benchtop. The minimum length should be the same as the cooktop.
-
10mm ventilation cut-out in the base of the cabinet. Minimum length is the same as the cooktop.
-
20mm gap behind oven or drawers.
-
20mm gap between the cooktop base and the oven/cabinet top/drawer.
-
Do not allow these gaps to be blocked at any time.
The bottom of the cooktop reaches
temperatures above 95°C. A board must
be placed a minimum of 130mm below the
cooktop that prevents anyone from
touching the underside of the cooktop.
Take care that there is adequate ventilation
for air exchange to the inductive elements.
