What is the right connector for your cooktop?
It's important to have the right connector for an electric cooktop. Otherwise, it won't work like it should, or a fuse can blow.
• 1 phase: a 1-phase connector is a standard connector with a regular socket, and it provides at most 3680W.
• 2 phases: there's a circuit for your stove in your fuse box (2 connected circuits with 1 lever), and a socket with 5 holes in your kitchen (Perilex connector).
• 3 phases: there's a powerful circuit (4 connected circuits with 1 lever) and a socket with 5 holes in your kitchen (Perilex connector).
How do you measure the required cutout width?
The niche width is the width of the interior of the space you place the cooktop in.
Measure from the left side to the right side of the niche with a measuring tape. Keep the tape measure tight. You now know the width of your niche. The top of a cooktop is always slightly wider than the niche itself, because the edge rests on the countertop.
- Measure the niche width
- Measure the niche depth
- Measure the thickness of your countertop
