KM7594-2 Induction Cooktop
Product Information
The product is a cooktop that requires installation by a qualified person. Incorrect installation can cause damage to the cooktop and result in electric shock. The cooktop must be connected to the power supply by a qualified electrician. Care must be taken not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood above it. The safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the rangehood must be maintained between the cooktop and the rangehood above it. If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the rangehood, a minimum safety distance of 500 mm must be maintained. To ensure sufficient ventilation to the cooktop, a minimum distance must be left between the underside of the cooktop and any oven, interim shelf, or drawer.
Product Usage Instructions
- Ensure that the cooktop is installed by a qualified person to prevent damage and electric shock.
- Maintain the safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the rangehood between the cooktop and the rangehood above it. If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the rangehood, maintain a minimum safety distance of 500 mm.
- Maintain a minimum safety distance between the underside of the cooktop and any oven, interim shelf, or drawer to ensure sufficient ventilation.
- If an interim shelf is fitted underneath the cooktop, leave a gap of 20 mm at the front between the cabinet and intermediate shelf for better ventilation of the cooktop. Leave a gap of 30 mm at the back between the cabinet and the intermediate shelf to accommodate the mains connection cable.
- Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the worktop during surface-mounted installation as this could result in damage to both the cooktop and worktop during servicing. The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop. Ensure that grout lines and the hatched area underneath the cooktop frame are smooth and even to ensure the cooktop sits flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop provides a good seal between the cooktop and the worktop.

Installation
Safety distances
Safety distance above the cooktop
The safety distance specified by the manufacturer of the rangehood must be maintained between the cooktop and the rangehood above it.
If the manufacturer’s instructions are not available for the rangehood, a minimum safety distance of 500 mm must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety distance of 500 mm must be maintained between these objects and the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which have different safety distances are installed together below a rangehood, observe the greatest specified safety distance.
Safety distances to the sides and back of the appliance
The minimum distance shown below must be maintained between the back edge of
the cooktop and a tall unit or wall.
Ideally the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear or a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left), taking into account the distances below. On the other side, however, no tall unit or wall should stand closer than 200 mm to the edge of the cooktop. Before installing the cooktop, check that the below clearance requirements are met.
- Minimum horizontal distance from the back edge of the cooktop to a combustible surface: 50 mm.
- Minimum horizontal distance from the right edge of the cooktop to a combustible surface: 50 mm.
- Minimum horizontal distance from the left edge of the cooktop to a combustible surface: 50 mm.
Minimum safety distance underneath the cooktop
To ensure sufficient ventilation to the cooktop, a minimum distance must be
left between the underside of the cooktop and any oven, interim shelf or
drawer.
The minimum safety distance between the underside1 of the cooktop and
- The top edge of an oven: ≥ 15 mm
- The top edge of an interim shelf: ≥ 15 mm
- The top edge of a drawer: ≥ 8 mm
- The base of a drawer: ≥ 75 mm
- The underside is the outside of the cooktop casing. Other items that are attached lower down, such as connection boxes and spacer plates, do not count as the lowest point and are not relevant when calculating the minimum safety distance.
Interim shelf
It is not necessary to fit an interim shelf underneath the cooktop but one may
be fitted if you wish.

- Front air gap
- Rear air gap
A gap 2of 20 mm is recommended at the front between the cabinet and intermediate shelf for better ventilation of the cooktop.
Leave a gap 3 of 30 mm at the back between the cabinet and the intermediate shelf to accommodate the mains connection cable.
Installation notes
Surface-mounted installation
Seal between the cooktop and the worktop
Damage caused by incorrect installation.
Using sealant under the cooktop could result in damage to the cooktop and the
worktop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing.
Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the worktop.
The sealing strip under the edge of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for
the worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines 1 and the hatched area underneath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop will not provide a good seal between the cooktop and the worktop.
Flush-fit installation
A flush-fit cooktop is suitable only for installation in natural stone
(granite, marble), solid wood and tiled worktops. When using a worktop made
from any other material, please check first with the worktop manufacturer that
it is suitable for installing a flush-fit cooktop.
The internal width of the base unit underneath the appliance must be at least as wide as the inner worktop cut-out (see “Installation – Installation dimensions – Flush-fit”), so that the cooktop is easily accessible from underneath after installation and the bottom half of the casing can be removed for maintenance. If the underside of the cooktop is not freely accessible after installation, any sealant used to plug the gaps around the appliance must be removed to enable the cooktop to be lifted out of the cut-out should this be necessary.
Natural stone worktops
The cooktop is placed directly in the cut-out.
Solid wood worktops, tiled worktops, glass worktops
The cooktop is placed on a wooden frame inside the cut-out. The frame must be
provided on site and is not supplied with the appliance.
Sealing strip
Dismantling the cooktop for service purposes may damage the sealing strip
underneath the edge of the cooktop.
Always replace the sealing strip before reinstalling the cooktop.
