Installation instructions
Product dimensions and clearances
The installation shall comply with the dimensions in Figs. 1 and 2, bearing in mind the following
requirements:
A minimum clearance of 40 mm for CE302 models and 30 mm for CE604 models has to be
kept between the bottom of the cooktop and the top of an underbench appliance or a thermal
protection barrier (see Figs. 5-7).
Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the cooktop
and a range hood be less than 600 mm. Any other downward-facing combustible surface less
than 600 mm above the highest part of the cooktop shall be protected for the full width and
depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with local regulations in force. However, in no
case shall this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.
Side clearances - Where the distance from the periphery of the nearest hotplate to any vertical
combustible surface is less than 50 mm (CE302 models) or 100 mm (CE604 models), the surface
shall be protected in accordance with with local regulations in force to a height of not less than
150 mm above the cooktop for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area.
Note: one side of the cooktop must always be kept clear.
Protection of combustible surfaces - The required protection shall ensure that the surface
temperature of combustible surfaces does not exceed 50 °C above ambient.
To comply with this requirement satisfactorily, fix 5mm-thick ceramic tiles to the surface or
attach fire-resistant material to the surface and cover with sheet metal (minimum thickness 0.4
mm).
Important!
The underside surface of the cooktop can reach a temperature exceeding 95 °C during normal
use.

Installing a thermal protection barrier
Important!
If the cooktop is installed over drawers or cupboards and its underside surface thus becomes accessible
after installation, a thermal protection barrier must be fitted at least 40 mm (for CE302 models) or 30 mm
(for CE604 models) beneath the base of the cooktop (see Figs. 5 and 6). This barrier must be made of low
thermal conductivity material installed according to the instructions for installation.
Note:
The requirement above is not applicable if the cooktop is installed directly above an oven.
For access to the cooktop for servicing or installation, ensure that the barrier can be removed from
beneath.
A gap of 20 mm may be allowed at the rear of the barrier (see Fig.7) for electrical connection and
ventilation.

8Installation instructions
Fastening the installation brackets
Each cooktop is provided with an installation kit including brackets and screws for fastening the
cooktop to benches from 20 to 40 mm thick.
CE302 models are provided with four Ftype brackets.
CE604 models are provided with two Rtype brackets (for the rear of the cooktop) and two Ftype
brackets (for the front of the cooktop).
1 Create a cutout according to the dimensions in Fig.3 or Fig.4.
2 Stretch gasket “D” (Figs. 10 and 11) over the edge of the cutout, being careful to overlay the
junction edges.
3 Turn the cooktop upside down, place it on a soft surface and fasten the brackets Fand Rto the
appropriate socket holes, without tightening the screws Bfor the moment. Make sure that the
tabs are mounted correctly, as shown. Rotate the tabs so that the cooktop can be put into the
cutout.
4 Put the cooktop into the cutout and position it correctly.
5 Put the brackets Fand Rinto place; tooth Aof the brackets should go into the hole (Figs. 10 and
11).
6 Tighten screws Buntil the cooktop is completely secured to the bench.
7 Using a sharp cutter or trimmer knife, trim the excess sealing material around the edge of the
cooktop. Take care not to damage the workbench.
