Before installation check:
•
The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
•
The work surface is made of a heat-resistant 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 regula-
tions.
•
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 regula-
tions.
•
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 sur
-
rounding the hob.
After installation check:
•
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
• There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
•
If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed
below the base of the hob.
•
The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging).
Adjusting the bracket position
Once the hob has been placed into the worktop with the worktop seal, screw the installation brackets
to the underside of the hob. The installation brackets can be installed either way up depending on the
thickness of the worktop. There should be a small gap between the installation brackets and the under-
side of the worktop to allow space for heat expansion.
