Safety instructions for installation
4
Risk of damage from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop.
The cooktop must only be installed by a qualified person.
Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood
above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.
 The room in which the cooktop is installed must conform to all
relevant local and national building regulations and safety
regulations.
 The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material.
 The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
 A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat
fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 300mm between these two
appliances.
 When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and
electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot
appliance parts.
 The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be
installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with
any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become
trapped.
 This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with
aftermarket lids or covers fitted.

Safety instructions for installation

 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.

Safety distances
6
Safety distance above the
cooktop
The safety distance specified by the
manufacturer of the rangehood must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance as specified in
AS/NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
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.

Safety distances
7
Clearance underneath the
appliance
A minimum safety clearance of 30mm
must be provided underneath the
appliance.
Please note that clearance must also be
provided for the installation of the
flexible gas connection hose and mains
electrical cable if the appliance is to be
installed above a closed surface (e.g.
an oven).

Installation notes
8
Seal between the cooktop and
the worktop
Damage caused by incorrect
installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop
could result in damage to the
cooktop and the worktop if the
cooktop ever needs to be removed
for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the cooktop provides a sufficient seal
for the worktop.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service
purposes may damage the sealing
strip underneath the edge of the
cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip
before reinstalling the cooktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.
