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.
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.
