Safety instructions for installation

Safety clearance above the cooktop
For an exhaust hood above the
cooktop, always use the clearance
specified by the hood manufacturer.
If there are no specifications from the
hood manufacturer or if flammable
materials (e.g. a utensil rail) are
installed above the cooktop, the
clearance must be at least 760 mm.
If there is more than one appliance
installed below the exhaust hood,
each with a different safety
clearance, the largest clearance
must be used.

Safety clearances to the sides and
back of the cooktop

of any height at the rear and on one
side (right or left) of the cooktop (see
illustrations).
a50 mm minimum distance between
the back of the countertop cut-out
and the rear edge of the countertop.
b50 mm minimum distance between
the right of the countertop cut-out

Minimum clearance underneath the
cooktop
To ensure proper ventilation of the
cooktop, a minimum clearance is
required between the appliance and an
oven, protective base, or drawer.
The minimum clearance from the
bottom of the cooktop to
– the top of the oven must be 15 mm.
– the top of the protective base must
be 15 mm.
– bottom of the drawer must be 75
mm.
Protective base
Installation of a protective base under
the cooktop is allowed but not required.
A gap of 10 mm at the back is required
for the power supply cable.
For better cooling of the cooktop, we
recommend a gap of 20 mm at the
front.
Safety clearances
65

Safety clearance to a wall covering
A safety clearance must be maintained between the countertop cut-out and any
wall covering to protect it from heat damage.
If the covering is made of a combustible material (e.g. wood), a safety clearance
eof 50 mm must be maintained between the cut-out and the covering.
If the covering is made of a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural stone,
ceramic tiles), a minimum safety clearance eof 50 mm less the thickness of the
covering must be maintained between the cut-out and the covering.
Example: 15 mm wall covering
50 mm - 15 mm = 35 mm minimum clearance

Seal between cooktop and
countertop
The cooktop must not be sealed
with joint sealant. Cooktop and
countertop could get damaged if the
cooktop needs to be removed. Do
not use a joint sealant between
cooktop and countertop.
The seal under the edge of the upper
part of the cooktop provides an
adequate seal against the countertop.
Tiled countertop
The grouting aand the hatched area
below the cooktop frame must be
smooth and flat, so that the frame will
be level and the seal under the edge of
the upper part of the cooktop can
provide a seal against the countertop.
