distance in accordance with AS/NZS
5601.1 must be maintained between
these objects and the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, observe the greatest
specified safety distance.
Safety distances to the sides
and back of the appliance
Ideally the appliance should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and a
tall unit or wall on one side (right or left).
On the other side, however, no tall unit
or wall should stand higher than the
appliance. Before installing the
appliance, check that the location
provides the required clearances from
combustible material and, if necessary,
provide protection to adjacent surfaces
as required by regulations.
A gas appliance shall be installed such
that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface* will not
exceed 65°C above ambient.
The minimum horizontal clearance from
a combustible surface to the periphery
of any gas burner must comply with AS/
NZS 5601.1.
If that horizontal clearance is less than
the required distance, that vertical
surface must be protected by a non-
combustible material in accordance
with AS/NZS 5601.1.
*Combustible surface:
A material which will ignite and burn,
and includes material which has been
flameproofed.

Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see "Installation –
Safety distances").
Seal the cut surfaces of wooden
worktops with a suitable sealant to
avoid swelling caused by moisture.
The sealant must be heat-resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
frame and worktop will become
smaller over time.
Installing the cooktop
Attach the sealing strip provided
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this, make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal with the worktop.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the electricity
supply (see "Installation – Electrical
connection").
Connect the cooktop to the gas
supply (see "Installation – Gas
connection").
