INSTALLATION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER
� � This product can be embedded in a worktop 20 to 40 mm thick. If there is no oven beneath the hob, insert a separator panel that has a surface at least equal to the opening in the work surface. This panel must be positioned at a maximum distance of 150 mm below the upper surface of the work surface but, in no case less than 20 mm from the bottom of the hob. In the case that you intend to install an oven beneath the hob, make sure that it is manufactured by Whirlpool and equipped with a cooling system. The manufacturer declines all liability if another brand oven is installed beneath the hob. Before installation, make sure that: the local gas delivery conditions (nature and pressure) are compatible with the settings of the hob (see the rating plate and injector table). The outer surfaces of the furniture or appliances adjacent to the hob are heat resistant according to local regulations. Combustion products are discharged outdoors through specific hoods or wall and/or window mounted electrical fans. Continuous natural air circulation is ensured through a clear opening in a wall of at least 100 cm2. This wall opening must be: permanent and in a wall to the outside of the room to be vented; made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from the inside or outside (not even accidentally); protected by plastic grids, metallic mesh, etc., taking care not to reduce the air vent effective area mentioned above; located near floor level and positioned so as not to interfere with the operation of the exhaust system.
