Clearances

A range hood fitted above the top must be installed according

to the installation instructions for the range hood. A minimum

distance of 650 mm is required for a range hood and 750 mm

for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from the

edge of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible

material for a height of 150 mm for the entire length of the hob.

Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at

least 650 mm above the top of the burner and no construction

shall be within 450 mm above the top of the burner.

A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop

surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting shield

must be fitted.
The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest part of the

hotplate and must be capable of withstanding the appliance

temperatures. Minimum thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.

If an oven is positioned below the cooktop the barrier does not

need to be fitted, but a space of 35 mm must be maintained

between the underside of the cooktop and the top of the oven.

Installation of cooktop into the kitchen bench

Side clearances: If the distance measured from the periphery of

the nearest burner to any vertical surface is less than 200 mm,

the surface shall be protected in accordance with clauses

6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
For cutout dimensions and clearances see Preparing to install.
Installation procedure:
The clips and the adhesive seal (underside of the cooktop) are

already fitted (depending on the model), do not under any

circumstances remove them. The seal ensures that the entire

work surface will be watertight, and prevents water seepage.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:

Place the cooktop in the correct position then loosen each of

the clips so that they all turn freely (it is not necessary to

completely undo them).

Insert and centre the cooktop.
Press the sides of the cooktop until it is supported around its

entire perimeter.

Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the work

surface is.

Connection

Electrical
An electrical 10 amp socket needs to be within 1 m of the

hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket must remain

accessible after installation of the appliance.
Important notes:

■

This appliance is connected to the mains (240 VAC) by

means of the connecting lead which must be fixed to the

kitchen unit to prevent it from coming into contact with hot

parts of the cooktop (or an oven installed underneath) and

remain accessible after installation of the cooktop.
When making this connection make sure that the lead cannot

come into contact with hot parts of the cooktop.

■

This appliance must be earthed. When connecting the

cooktop ensure that the earth wire is connected first and that

all wires are connected to the correct terminals.

Gas
During the planning stage, consider the position of supply

connections.
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with

upstream connection of an isolation valve in accordance with

the respectively valid regulations. We recommend that the

isolation valve be fitted prior to the cooktop to enable isolation

of cooktop from gas supply. The valve must be easily

accessible at all times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of cooktop next

to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to installation.
