Clearances
A range hood fitted above the top must be installed according
to the installation instructions for the range hood. A minimum
distance of 650 mm is required for a range hood and 750 mm
for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from the
edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible
material for a height of 150 mm for the entire length of the hob.
Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at
least 650 mm above the top of the burner and no construction
shall be within 450 mm above the top of the burner.
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting shield
must be fitted.
■
The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest part of the
hotplate and must be capable of withstanding the appliance
temperatures. Minimum thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
■
The shield material must be mdf or similar with minimum
thickness of 12 mm.
■
The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide x
480 mm deep.
■
Provide cut-out in right hand rear of shield of 80 mm wide x
80 mm deep to provide for gas regulator / LP connection
fitting.
After installation of the shield the clearance around the top and
sides of shield will allow adequate ventilation. Ensure the side
and top clearances are not obstructed.
If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier does not
need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must be maintained
between the underside of the cooktop and the top of the oven.
A space of 5 mm must be mantained between the benchtop
and the top front part of the oven.
Installation of cooktop into the kitchen bench
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the periphery of
the nearest burner to any vertical surface is less than 200 mm,
the surface shall be protected in accordance with clauses

Preparing to install
.
Installation procedure:
The clips and the adhesive seal (underside of the cooktop) are
already fitted (depending on the model), do not under any
circumstances remove them. The seal ensures that the entire
work surface will be watertight, and prevents water seepage.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:
1.
Place the cooktop in the correct position then loosen each of
the clips so that they all turn freely (it is not necessary to
completely undo them).
2.
Insert and centre the cooktop.
Press the sides of the cooktop until it is supported around its
entire perimeter.
3.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the work
surface is.
Connection
Electrical
An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the
hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must remain
accessible after installation of the appliance.
Important notes:
■
This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by
means of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the
kitchen unit to prevent it from coming into contact with hot
parts of the cooktop (or an oven installed underneath) and
remain accessible after installation of the cooktop.
When making this connection make sure that the lead cannot
come into contact with hot parts of the cooktop.
■
This appliance must be earthed. When connecting the
cooktop ensure that the earth wire is connected first and that
all wires are connected to the correct terminals.
