storage or the installation of another appliance. The shield should be fabricated from
non-combustible material, but if the enclosure is manufactured from combustible material there
should be a minimum distance of 120mm between the worktop (top face) and the shield.
THIS AIR SPACE MUST BE WELL VENTILATED
On completion of the installation a warning notice complying to EN721 Annex A should be
affixed adjacent to the appliance.
If other appliance/s are located below the hob we recommend conducting a temperature
verification test to confirm any rise in temperature of the cabinet materials are within allowable
limits and meet requirements specified in EN30-1-1, EN1949, EN1645-1, EN1646-1, EN1647,
and EN721.
