INSTALLATION
Installation of Built-In Cooktop
In order to prevent leakage of any liquids on the counter, a special
sealing tape is supplied together with your cooktop. Apply this seal
around the bottom edge of the cooktop (see below). The brackets
are installed to hold the cooktop in place. Cut out a hole in the
bench top as shown below. Place the cooktop (controls to the
front) in the hole and fix in position using the brackets.
All induction cooktops are fitted with cooling fans that draw fresh
air from the rear of the unit and expel the warmed air through
vents at the front. When installing your cooktop, the ventilation
requirements are as follows:
A 5mm ventilation cut-out below the benchtop which is the width of the cooktop.
A 10mm ventilation cut-out in the base of the cabinet which is the width of the cooktop.
A 50mm gap behind the oven or drawers.
A minimum gap of 30mm between the cooktop base and the oven/cabinet top/drawer/shelf.
Ventilation gaps should not be obstructed by any drawers, cupboards, etc.
This diagram is a typical example when fitted above an oven or drawers.
If there is access to the cooktop base (for example,
through a cupboard), a board must be placed a
minimum of 30mm below the cooktop that prevents
anyone from touching the cooktop base. The board
must comply with the ventilation requirements above,
and be removable, to allow access during
maintenance etc.
