Installation (Cont.)
Important clearances
•
Walls or vertical structures
must be at least 200mm away from the cooktop.
•
Overhanging surfaces:
There must be no overhanging surfaces, and no
rangehood or exhaust system within 760mm above the cooktop.
•
Underneath clearance:
There must be a minimum 50mm clearance
between the base of the appliance and any surface to ensure an adequate
flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop.
•
Above oven installation:
If the cooktop is installed above an oven,
the oven must have a built-in cooling fan. The two appliances must be
connected separately, to make it easier to take the appliances out and for
electrical safety.
•
Above cupboard installation:
If the cooktop is installed above a drawer or
cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier should be installed below the
base of the cooktop.
•
Unsuitable locations:
The cooktop must NOT be installed directly above
a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine or clothes dryer, as the
humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
•
Seek professional advice:
Consult your local building authorities and by-
laws if in doubt regarding installation requirements.
Electrical connection
•
Isolating switch:
The appliance should be mounted and positioned
to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. It should be
connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating switch providing full
disconnection from the power supply. The isolating switch must be of an
approved type and provide a 3mm 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). When the cooktop is installed, the isolating
switch should be easily accessible to the user.
•
Power cord:
Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to come into contact
with areas on the cooktop that get hot. If the power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified service engineer in
order to avoid a hazard. The power cord must not be accessible through
cupboard doors or drawers.
