Warning: Ensure adequate ventilation
Make sure the induction cooktop is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not
blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the cooktop or
getting an unexpected electric shock while working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert,
fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the cooktop. Follow the
requirements below.
There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. You must ensure that these holes
are not blocked by the worktop when you put the cooktop into position.
Be aware that the glue that joins the plastic or wooden material to the furniture must
resist to temperature not below 150°C, to avoid failure of the adhesive.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand a
temperature of 90°C.
Before Installing the Cooktop, Ensure:
•
The work surface should be square and level, and no structural members should
interfere with space requirements.
•
The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven must have a built-in cooling fan.
•
The installation complies 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 is an approved type and provides 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).
•
The isolating switch is easily accessible to the customer with the cooktop installed.
•
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 cooktop.
After Installing the Cooktop, Ensure:
•
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•
There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the
cooktop.
•
If the cooktop is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection
barrier is installed below the base of the hob.
•
The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
