Before you install the hob, make sure that:
• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with
the space requirements.
• The work surface is made of a heat-resistant material.
• If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and regulations.
• A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power
supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to
comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be
of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles
(or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this
variation of the requirements).
• The isolating switch will be easily accessible.
• You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding
installation.
• You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the
wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
