A minimum vertical clearance of 750 mm [30”] is required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of any unprotected combustible material, such as cabinets, wooden trim etc.

In the back, leave a minimum of 10 mm [3/8”] between the cooktop edge and adjacent vertical surfaces (backsplash, wall, high cabinets etc.). This space is needed for the unit to breath properly.

If a downdraft ventilation system is used, a minimum of 6 mm (1/4”) of clearance is required between the rear edge of the cooktop and the downdraft snorkel.

Leave a minimum of 50 mm [2”] underneath the unit for the air intake.

During cooking, built-in fan inside the cooktop will operate constantly to keep the internal components cool. The air intake is on the bottom of the cooktop box, and the warm air exhaust is located on the back of the rim, as shown on the schematic. If the air intake or the exhaust is obstructed, the cooktop safeties will either diminish the power output or shut down the unit.

We suggest that you should periodically check that there are no objects (dust, paper,

etc.) which could obstruct the air inlet under your induction cooktop.

Although induction-cooktop heat rejection is minimal and the unit does not create any fumes in operation, such unit must be installed underneath a properly sized ventilation hood for exhausting any smell, vapor and smoke created by cooking itself.

Also, a proper downdraft system can be used for ventilation.

Your cook-top must always breath adequately. Make sure that the air inlet and its exhaust are not obstructed.

The unit must not be installed above a washing machine, a refrigerator or a deep- freezer box

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided.

The unit must be installed such that it can be pulled without difficulty out of the cut-out for servicing or cleaning.

Never glue, silicone or wedge the unit inside its cut-out.
