During cooking, built-in fan inside the
cooktop will operate constantly to keep the
internal components cool. The air intake is
on the bottom of the cooktop box, and the
warm air exhaust is located on the back of
the rim, as shown on the schematic. If the air
intake or the exhaust is obstructed, the
cooktop safeties will either diminish the
power output or shut down the unit.
We suggest that you should periodically
check that there are no objects (dust, paper,
etc.) which could obstruct the air inlet under
your induction cooktop.
Although induction-cooktop heat rejection is
minimal and the unit does not create any
fumes in operation, such unit must be
installed underneath a properly sized
ventilation hood for exhausting any smell,
vapor and smoke created by cooking itself.
Also, a proper downdraft system can be
used for ventilation.
A minimum vertical clearance of 750 mm
[30”] is required between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of any
unprotected combustible material, such
as cabinets, wooden trim etc.
In the back, leave a minimum of 10 mm
[3/8”] between the cooktop edge and
adjacent vertical surfaces (backsplash,
wall, high cabinets etc.). This space is
needed for the unit to breath properly.
If a downdraft ventilation system is used,
a minimum of 6 mm (1/4”) of clearance
is required between the rear edge of the
cooktop and the downdraft snorkel.
Leave a minimum of 50 mm [2”]
underneath the unit for the air intake.
