There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes
are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture,
has to resist to temperature not below 150℃, to avoid the unstuck of the
paneling.
The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to
withstand an temperature of 90℃.
9.2 Before installing the hob, make sure that
•
The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
•
The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•
If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
•
The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
•
A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated
in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and
regulations.
•
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in
all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the
requirements).
•
The isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
•
You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
•
You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the hob.
9.3 After installing the hob, make sure that
•
The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•
There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob.
•
If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed
below the base of the hob.
•
The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
