WARNING: Ensuring Adequate Ventilation
Make sure the induction hob is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet are not blocked. If
drawers are fitted below the hob sometimes the underneath of the hob may get hot. To prevent
items accidently touching the base of the hob (which may result in an electric shock) it is
necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the
bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.
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 joins the plastic or wooden material to the cabinet is able
to resist temperatures heat up to 150
℃
.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand a
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.
