6 Installation

• This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It must be
installed and connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular
attention must be given to the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.

• The use of a gas cooking appliance cause heat and moisture in the room in which it

is installed. Make sure that the ventilation in the kitchen is good: keep natural venti­lation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor
hood).

• More ventilation (for example opening of a window or increasing the level of me­chanical ventilation where present) is necessary when you operate the appliance
with intensity for a long time.

• Carefully obey the instructions for electrical connections. There is the risk of injury from
electrical current.

• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply, before you do the maintenance

work or you clean it.

• The electrical mains terminal is live.

• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.

• Install correctly to give anti-shock protection.

• A loose and incorrect mains plug and socket connections can make the terminal become
too hot.

INSTALLATION

WARNING!

The following instructions about installation, connection and maintenance must be carried
out by qualified personnel in compliance with standards and local regulations in force.

Installation

Important safety requirements

This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regula­tions (Current Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current Edition).
For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland please refer to NSAI- Domestic Gas Instal­lation I.S. 813 Current Editions and the ETCI Rules for Electrical Installations.

Provision for ventilation

Detailed recommendations are contained in the following British Standards Codes Of Prac­tice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room with a volume of less than 20 m³. If it
is installed in a room of volume less than 5 m³ an air vent of effective area of 100 cm² is
required. If it is installed in a room of volume between 5 m³ and 10 m³ an air vent of effec­tive area of 50 cm² is required, while if the volume exceeds 11 m³ no air vent is required.
However, if the room has a door which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even if the volume is between 5 m³ and 11 m³.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edi­tion, should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.
For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland please refer to the NSAI- Domestic Gas
Installation I.S. 813 Current Editions Table Four.

Location

The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room (with a volume
greater than 20 m³), but not in a bathroom or shower room.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob in line with the
edges of the hob is 400 mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm a space of 50 mm must be allowed
from the edges of the hob.
For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland please refer to NSAI- Domestic Gas Instal­lation I.S 813 Current Edition Section 7- Permitted Locations of Appliance.

Gas Connection

WARNING!

Any gas installation must be carried out by a GAS SAFE REGISTER installer.

Make sure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event
of a breakdown.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other
safety instructions incorporated in this instruction booklet be ignored.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so
that the washer is fitted between the components as shown in the diagram. Screw the
parts together without using excessive force.

Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or cop-
per.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to R 1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried
out on the hob and installation.
Make sure that the main connection pipe does not exert any strain on the hob.
If you use flexible metal pipes make sure that they agree to ISO 10380 and ISO 10807
standards. Be careful they do not come in touch with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Also be careful when the hob is put together with an oven.

It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread,
fitted to the hob connecting pipe.

Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.

Make sure that the gas supply pressure of the appliance obeys the recommended values.

Rigid connection:

Carry out connection by using metal rigid pipes (copper with mechanical end).

Injectors replacement

1. Remove the pan supports.

2. Remove the caps and crowns of the burner.

3. With a socket spanner 7 remove the injectors and replace them with the ones which

are necessary for the type of gas you use (see table in Technical Data section).

4. Assemble the parts, follow the same procedure backwards.

5. Replace the rating plate (it is near the gas supply pipe) with the one for the new type

of gas supply. You can find this plate in the package supplied with the appliance.
If the supply gas pressure is changeable or different from the necessary pressure, you must
fit an applicable pressure adjuster on the gas supply pipe.
