BOSCH NES 730 UC (02) PDF SUMMARY:

What is required to avoid the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units?

Cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 in. (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

What is this unit designed for?

This unit is designed for installation in the countertop with zero clearance to adjacent walls and projecting surfaces constructed of combustible materials.

What is the required clearance between the top of the cooktop and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet?

A 30-inch minimum clearance is required.

What is the necessary minimum distance when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4 inch of a flame retardant material covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch (0.4 mm) thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch (0.6 mm) aluminum, or 0.020-inch (0.5 mm) thick copper?

A 24-inch minimum distance.

What mark do flame retardant materials bear?

UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES INC. CLASSIFIED MINERAL AND FIBER BOARDS SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS. Followed by the flame spread and smoke ratings, these designations are shown as “FHC (Flame Spread)/ (Smoke Developed).” Materials with “O” flame spread ratings are flame retardant. Local codes may allow other flame spread ratings.

What is the minimum horizontal clearance from the sides and back edge of the cooktop to the adjacent vertical combustible walls?

Zero inches.

What do the cutout dimensions depend upon?

Whether the installation is for replacement, new construction, or installation in a solid surface countertop material, such as Surel™, Corian® etc. These materials require larger cutouts, use of heat reflective tape and rounded corners.

What should you do to avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing the cooktop?

Switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.

How do you seal with foam tape?

A foam tape is provided to seal the cooktop edges to the countertop. Turn cooktop upside down and apply tape approximately 1/16” from the glass edges. Use tape around the entire glass perimeter cut off excess where tape ends butt.

How do you secure the cooktop to the countertop?

The cooktop should be secured to the countertop using the hold-down brackets provided. Prior to inserting cooktop into cutout, turn cooktop upside down and attach brackets to the burner box using the washers and screws. Place cooktop into cutout. Insert clamping screws into the brackets and secure cooktop to countertop. Use a wood block to protect fragile countertop materials!

When installing over an oven, what should you always consult?

Always consult the countertop manufacturer for specific instructions.

What do countertops made from natural (i.e. granite and marble) or SOLID SURFACE MATERIALS, such as Surell™ and Corian®, require?

Special cutout preparation and installation procedures.

How do you install the cooktop?

1. Round the cutout corners according to instructions from the countertop manufacturer.
2. Apply heat reflective tape (such as Scotch® Aluminum Foil Tape #425 or #427) around the cutout so that it folds over the top and side surfaces. Be sure the tape extends beyond the outermost flange of the cooktop. All corners should also be covered with tape.
3. Attach brackets to the burner box using washers and screws provided. Use a wooden block underneath the countertop before tightening the bracket screws.
4. Center cooktop in the cutout to ensure adequate clearance between the burner box and countertop edge. (A light pencil mark along the center of front edge and side edge of cooktop and counter will aid in the positioning of the cooktop in the center.)
5. Trim excess aluminum tape from along the frame edges. BE CAREFUL not to scratch the countertop.

How do you perform the electrical connection?

1. Attach flexible conduit to the junction box.
2. Connect the cooktop lead wires to the junction box supply wires in proper phase: For all models, connect black (L1) to black, red (L2) to red, white wire to neutral and green wire to ground. NOTE: If the cooktop is installed and connected as specified above, it will be completely grounded in compliance with the National Electrical Code.
3. Remove everything from the cooktop surface and apply Cooktop Cleaning Creme (packaged with cooktop) as directed in Use & Care Manual.
4. Turn on the power supply.
5. Test operation. NOTE: Your cooktop surface needs to be cleaned daily. Refer to the Use and Care section before using it for the first time.

If the elements do not heat or if the indicator “on” light does not glow, what should you do?

Check the power source to see if a fuse has blown or if the circuit breaker has tripped. Refer to the Cooktop Warranty in the Use and Care Manual. See Use and Care manual for troubleshooting information.

Where is the product data plate located?

The data plate shows the model and serial number of your cooktop. It is located in the center front area of the rough-in box, underneath the cooktop. Keep your invoice or escrow papers for warranty validation if service is needed.
