Installation instructions
Please read this section in its entirety before installing the cooktop.
As a general rule there must be at least 30" (760 mm) between the top of the appliance and any object above it. If the manufacturer of said object recommends a different distance, follow that manufacturer’s recommendation.
To avoid damaging the cooktop, it should only be placed in the countertop after any exhaust hood or cabinetry have been installed above it.
Do not install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, refrigerator or freezer. Heat radiated by the cooktop may damage them.
If the cooktop is installed above an oven, make sure the cooktop’s power cord does not come into contact with the oven.
To reduce the risk of burns when reaching over the cooktop, avoid installing the cooktop below wall mounted cabinets.
If cabinets are installed above the cooktop, the risk of burns can be reduced by installing an exhaust hood that extends at least 5" (13 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
The rated load and voltage are printed on the data plate. Make sure they match those of the main power supply.
Ideally, the cooktop should be installed with no walls (other than the rear wall) or tall cabinets directly adjacent to it. It can be installed next to one wall, however, as long as the spacings listed below are maintained.
40 mm = 1 ½" |
50 mm = 2" |
When installing cooktops, keep in mind that they will radiate some heat sideways as well as straight up. For this reason, the recommended distances from the surrounding cabinets must be maintained for safety reasons.
Do not install the cooktop into an area between two walls or cabinets. One side of the cooktop must be open to air flow or the danger of fire will exist.
