INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Before installation, please ensure the following:
zA suitable disconnection switch is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and
positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. A means of disconnection
with at least a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles must be incorporated into
the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules, unless the local wiring rules allow for
alternative means.
zThe benchtop is made of a heat resistant material.
zThe power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
zThere is adequate flow of cool air from the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop. You
may ventilate from adjacent cupboards, but ensure that the available air supply will not
be restricted.
zThe ventilation area must be at least 50mm diameter holes or of equivalent area.
zThe isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
zUse heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the cooktop.
zDO NOT install the cooktop directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine or
clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
zIf the cooktop is installed above an oven, ensure the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
zEnsure the installation complies with all clearance requirements and applicable standards
and regulations.
zConsult your local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding the installation.
zTo eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the surface units should be avoided.
During installation, please ensure the following:
zSeal the exposed bare edges of the cutout with an oil-based paint or moisture-proof
polyurethane to prevent possible moisture creeping between the cooktop trim and
the benchtop.
zTake extreme care not to chip, crack, or break the top glass surfaces during installation.
A heavy metal tool or part accidentally dropped on the glass could damage it.
zIf, after following the instructions given, correct performance cannot be achieved, please
contact your nearest Fisher & Paykel Service Centre, Customer Care, or contact us through
our local website listed at the end of this document.
IMPORTANT!
The owner carries all risk for flush mounting the cooktop. Fisher & Paykel will not be liable
for any costs associated with removing or replacing a flush-mounted and/or sealed-in
product, nor for repairing any damage that may be incurred by doing this.
Ensure the installation layout allows access to the cooktop from underneath to avoid cutting
out the silicone when servicing.
