Safety instructions for installation

Damage risk from incorrect installation.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to the Smart Line element. The Smart Line element must only be installed by a qualified person.

Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect connection to the mains supply may result in an electric shock.

Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the Smart Line element when fitting wall units or a cooker hood above it. Fit the wall units and the cooker hood before the Smart Line element.

•  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 back moulds must be of heat-resistant material.
•  The Smart Line element must not be installed over a fridge, fridge- freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
•  This Smart Line element must not be installed above ovens or cookers unless these have a built-in cooling down fan.
• After installation, the mains connection cable of the Smart Line
  element must not come into contact with any moving kitchen component (e.g. a drawer) or be subject to mechanical loads which could damage it.
• Observe carefully the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

Safety distances

Safety distance above the Smart Line element

The safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the cooker hood must be maintained between the Smart Line element and the cooker hood above it. If combustible objects are installed above the Smart Line element (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of 500 mm must be maintained. When two or more Smart Line elements which have different safety distances are installed together below a cooker hood, you should observe the greatest specified safety distance.

Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance

The Smart Line element should preferably be installed with plenty of space on the right and left. The minimum distance Specified below must be observed between the rear of the Smart Line element and a tall unit or room wall. The minimum distance specified below must be adhered to between one side of the Smart Line element (right or left) and a tall unit or room wall. A minimum distance of 300 mm must be observed on the opposite side.

• Minimum distance between the back of the worktop cut-out and the rear edge of the worktop: 50 mm
• Minimum distance on the right side between the worktop cut-out and the closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit) or a room wall: 50 mm
• Minimum distance on the left side between the worktop cut-out and the closest adjacent piece of furniture (e.g. tall unit) or a room wall: 50 mm.

Minimum safety distance underneath the Smart Line element

To ensure proper ventilation of the Smart Line element, a minimum safety distance is required between the element and an oven, interim shelf or drawer. The minimum safety distance from the lower edge of the Smart Line element to

• Upper edge of oven: 15 mm
• Upper edge of interim shelf: 15 mm
• Upper edge of drawer: 5 mm
• Base of drawer: 75 mm

Intermediate shelf

It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf underneath the Smart Line element but one may be fitted if you wish.
Leave a gap of 10 mm at the back of the shelf to accommodate the mains connection cable. We recommend a gap at the front of the Smart Line element of 20 mm to ensure good ventilation.

Safety distance when installing the appliance near a wall with additional niche cladding

If a niche cladding is installed, a minimum safety distance must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and the cladding, since high temperatures can damage these materials. If the niche cladding is made from a combustible material (e.g. wood) a minimum safety distance of 50 mm must be maintained between the worktop cut-out and the cladding. If the niche cladding is made from a non-combustible material (e.g. metal, natural stone, ceramic tiles) the minimum safety distance between the worktop cut-out and the cladding will be 50 mm less the thickness of the cladding.
Example: 15 mm niche cladding 50 mm – 15 mm = minimum safety distance of 35 mm

Sealing between the Smart Line Element and the worktop

The Smart Line element and worktop may be damaged if the element needs to be removed after it has been sealed with a sealant. Do not use any sealant between the Smart Line element and the worktop. The seal under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Tiled worktop

Grout lines and the hatched area underneath the Smart Line element frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the Smart Line element will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the top part of the appliance will not provide a good seal between the appliance and the worktop.

Sealing strip

Dismantling the Smart Line element for service purposes may damage the sealing strip underneath the edge of the Smart Line element.
Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the Smart Line element.

Installing several Smart Line elements

The gaps between the individual Smart Line elements are sealed with a silicone sealant that is heat-resistant to at least 160 °C. With flush-fit installation, the gap between the Smart Line element(s) and the worktop must also be sealed with a silicone sealant that is heat-resistant to at least 160 °C.
After installation, the Smart Line elements must be easily accessible from below, so that the bottom half of the casing can be removed for maintenance. If the Smart Line elements are not accessible from below, the sealant must be removed so that they can be removed.

Combination with a downdraft extractor

If the SmartLine element is installed in combination with a downdraft extractor, the latter must be installed first.
