Important Installation Advice
Kitchen and Benchtop Requirements
•
Kitchen area:
Before installation, make sure the kitchen area is dry and there
is sufficient ventilation and easy access to all control elements.
•
Benchtop:
The benchtop surface must be level, and no structural members
must interfere with space requirements.
•
Curtains:
Do not install the cooktop next to curtains, soft furnishings or
other flammable materials.
•
Adjacent furniture:
Make sure that the benchtop and any adjacent
furniture or walls, and all installation materials, are able to withstand high
heat. Laminates, fixing adhesive and surfacing materials must be certified
suitable for sustaining high heat. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen
furniture are particularly prone to heat damage or discolouration at high
temperatures.
•
Adjacent wall and cabinetry finishes:
Fire resistant materials are required
to 450mm above the cooktop surface. We recommend you use heat-
resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for any wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop.
•
Ventilation:
Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the
cooktop. Take care to avoid injury and ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated. If the appliance is going to be used for prolonged periods
of time, additional ventilation may be required. If in doubt about your
ventilation requirements, consult your qualified installer.
