Before installation, please read the following:
•
The cooktop must be installed into a countertop 20 to 40 mm
thick and 600 mm deep.
•
Inside the unit there must be a space of at least 30 mm

appliance or bracket.
•
If the cooktop is to be installed next to a column unit, leave
a distance of at least 100 mm.
•
There must be a distance of at least 50 mm between the cooktop

ventilation and removal of combustion products.
•
There must be a natural airflow through one or more
openings, which must be:
- Permanent and made in the outside walls of the room to be
ventilated.
- Made so that the opening outlets, both inside and outside the
wall, cannot be obstructed.
- Protected with grids, metal grill, etc., so as not to reduce the
installation distances indicated above.
- Situated next to floor level so as not to impede the correct
operation of the combustion products removal devices.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air must
come from an adjacent room, ventilated as required, as long as
it is not a bedroom or a dangerous space. In this case the
kitchen door must allow the passage of air.
