BEFORE INSTALLING THE HOB, MAKE SURE THAT
• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members
interfere with space requirements.
• The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated 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 to the customer with the
hob 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 hob.
AFTER INSTALLING THE HOB, MAKE SURE THAT
• 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 hob.
• If the hob 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.
• Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to
the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150
O
C, to
avoid the unstuck of the paneling.
• The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore
be able to withstand an temperature of 90
O
C.
