Installation

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

All Hotpoint hobs are suitable for installation over any Hotpoint Build-in or Build-Under Ovens. Your hob should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your voltage supply. This is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the under side of the base panel. The appliance must be connected by a contractor/engineer such as one who is registered with the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC). A suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 30A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be used. This should be fitted adjacent to the cooker in accordance with the latest IEE regulations. Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven, a 45 amp Double Pole control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.

The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 4.0mm2. The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency. This appliance conforms to B.S.EN55014 regarding suppression of radio and television interference. The hob should be connected to the supply in such a way that it can easily be isolated for cleaning and servicing. The control unit should be positioned to the side of the hob and be readily accessible in case of an emergency.

If the hob is installed above an oven unit, the installer should also refer to the oven installation instructions in case any other mains cable is recommended for the hob.

Place the hob face down taking care not to damage the controls or hob surface. Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should be used to allow the hob to be pulled out for servicing. Replace the screws and tighten.

Always check that the cable does not come into contact with the hob base. This can be achieved by routing the hob cable and securing it either to the cabinet side or rear wall in such a way that it cannot touch any part of the base. Always ensure that the cable between the hob and main switch is free from twists or kinks throughout its length and not trapped between work surfaces and the hob.

SITING THE HOB

The hob is designed to fit into worktop and base unit(s) with a cutout as shown in Fig. 1. Any obstruction such as supports or side panels must be removed to allow 55mm minimum depth below the worktop cutout. Any overhead surface of combustible material must not be closer than 650mm. Adjacent vertical walls or kitchen furniture must not be closer than 100mm to the edge of the cutout. Walls or other kitchen furniture closer than 100mm to the aperture edge should be protected by heat resistant materials (e.g. ceramic tiles) Fig. 2. Surfaces to be avoided in close are bare or painted wood, plastic tiles and other wall covering likely to burn or stain. If a cooker hood is to be installed refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding fixing heights.

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with this product. It will be up to the installer to fit correct type and length of cable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
