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.
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 5.12.1 & 5.12.1.2 of AS 5601/AG 601.
Leave a space at least 100mm between any drawer,
partition or oven that is installed underneath the
cooktop.
Minimum thickness of benchtop is 15mm. See Fig. 2.
Installation procedure:
1. For cutout dimensions and clearances refer Fig 1.
2 The hotplate is factory fitted with sealing tape
around the lower edge of the hob and two pres-
sure clamps front and rear. The seal keeps the en-
tire work surface watertight and prevents spillage
from leaking into cupboards underneath. Please
ensure that the sealing tape is not disturbed during
the installation process. Refer Fig. 3.
3 Place hotplate on top of the bench cut-out and press
down firmly on all edges at the same time to en-
sure that the hob is resting on its entire perimeter.
NOTE: If it is necessary to dismount the hob, press
upwards only from underneath.
