Cooktop Replacement
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:42 pm
I saw a job today involving a cooktop replacement and I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on it as im wondering if it ever complied, the house would have been built just before 2000.
The cooktop is above drawers and is fed off the same switch as the oven (no problems there)
The unprotected TPS comes into the back of a cupboard, and then behind the drawers to the cooktop, and the switch is in the pantry.
The new cooktop has a sticker on it saying that the bottom of the cooktop can reach 95 degrees.
Im just wondering as a swap can we rely on the original installation as complying as most of us appear to struggle with the current standards let alone remembering the old ones as well.
Last question is how much of the manufactures install instructions do we need to follow for a replacement eg airflow gaps, barrier between the drawers and cooktop etc.
Im starting to wonder if im overthinking what should be a simple replacement as im sure most people would just stick the TPS in and head to the next job
