the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
recommended) (Fig. 4). If the instructions supplied with the hood
dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
600mm, then that height is the minimum required.
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is
900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material
resistant to fire (steel, for example).
Notes:
•
Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat
generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
•
This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable
of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater above ambient
temperature.
•
Never place perishable foods, soft items such as tea towels,
cleaning products or flammable items in the cupboard or drawer
below the appliance.
•
If an oven is to be installed below the hob, the thermal safety system
on the hob will not allow the hob to be used at the same time as a
pyrolytic programme on the oven.
•
The hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety device that
can be activated if the hob is installed over an oven that is not
sufficiently ventilated. We recommend that you increase the
ventilation of the hob by creating an opening in the side of the
cabinet (8cm x 5cm).
