ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS LOCATED AT THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE, BEHIND SIDE PANEL. DURING INSTALLATION REMOVE THE RIGHT HAND
SIDE PANEL TO CONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY.

Remove 6 screws securing side panel to gain access to mains terminal. See Fig. 3 for location
of cover.

Remember

that the mains electrical cable must be routed through the grommet at the rear right
hand side of the cooker near the top via a UL listed strain relief bracket, before connecting to the
mains terminal connection.

REFER TO FIG. 2 & 2A for wire connection to appliance.

Remember

that an excess of cable length is required inside the cooker to allow for possible

servicing of the spark generator , there should be at least 31” (0.78m) of cable from the appliance.

Remember

that an excess of cable length is required behind the cooker for the withdrawal of the
cooker from between the kitchen units etc.

Replace the right hand side panel once electrical connection has been made and replace fixing
screws.

NOTE: Ensure the insulation card covering the mains terminal is in place, between the side
panel and mains terminal.

CAUTION: ENSURE THAT THE COOKER IS ISOLATED FROM ELECTRIC SUPPLY

The cooker can be installed with an approved flexible connection. Supply piping should not be
less than 3/8 I/D Flexiline. Connection is made to the 1/2” NPT female thread located just below
the hotplate level on the right hand side of the cooker.

The gas flexiline connector must be fitted in the shaded area dimensioned in Fig. 3. Take into
account that it must be possible to pull the cooker forward sufficiently for servicing. Ensure
flexiline hose is not trapped between cooker back panel and rear wall. Ensure hose is routed
within the shaded area and away from shielded oven vents.

NOTE: Use soapy water solution on new gas connections to ensure there are no gas leaks.

NOTE: AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE MANUAL SHUT GAS VALVE MUST BE FITTED BEFORE
THE METAL FLEX GAS LINE.

Check for gas soundness after connecting the appliance.

CONNECTING TO GAS

Fig. 3 DESN 512639 B

This appliance must be installed on 1/8” thick Commercial Grade Vinyl composition floor finishing
materials or equivalent.

Combustible side wall clearance above the hotplate shall be greater than 3”.
Surfaces over the top of the range must not be closer than 28” and must not exceed 13” in depth.
The vent slots in the back of the top plate (or shroud) must not be obstructed.
Note: It is essential that the supply cable is routed away from any hot surfaces i.e. hot flue pipes.
In the interests of safety, due consideration must be given to the protection of the electric cable

to the unit.
Remember than an excess of cable length is required for the possible withdrawal of the range.
A electrical socket type 14-30R must be provided within 5 feet of the left hand side of the range

and be accessible for disconnection.

THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.

Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the appliance. Electrical hook-up must be done
by a licenced electrician.

An easily accessible manual shut off gas valve must be fitted before the metal flexi gas line
supply to the range. DO NOT fit valve behind the range.

Any opening in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance must be
sealed.

If the range must be installed beside a refrigerator, it is important for proper air circulation that
there be at least 5” (175mm) of space between the two appliances.

LOCATION

10

A stability bracket shall be secured firmly to the fabric of the building. For positioning of bracket
(See Fig. 3). A safety chain should also be anchored firmly to the wall and cooker to prevent
strain on the gas connection, when the cooker is withdrawn for servicing. When fitting a stability
bracket and chain refer to Fig. 3, 3A and 3B.

Ranges must have an anti-tip bracket correctly installed as per these instructions. If you pull the
range out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged when you
push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over
and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

If disconnection of the restraining chain is necessary then ensure restraining chain is reattached
as appliance is relocated in its original position.

To reduce the risk of tipping, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket
supplied with the range. The bracket must be fitted within the shaded area shown in the diagram
using 2 x screws (No. 10 x 1 1/4”) fixed in the wall or floor, longer screws may be required
depending on the wall or floor covering.

The maximum gas inlet pressure to the appliance must not exceed 10” w.g. for NG and 14” for
L.P. Gas. The minimum gas inlet pressure at the appliance must not be less than 5” w.g. Natural
Gas and 11” w.g. L.P. Gas to enable the correct manifold pressure to be obtained.

NOTE: The regulator is pre-set for either N.G. or L.P. Gas.
Use the small hotplate burner injector as the pressure test point.
For Natural Gas manifold pressure is 4” w.g.
For L.P.G. (Propane Only) manifold pressure 10” w.g.
Access to the gas regulator is as follows:
a) Remove pan supports and all control knobs.

b) Remove four chrome buttons and the four plate retaining screws (2 each side).
c) Remove left hand and centre shroud from the control panel to gain access to the fixing

screws. Remove two screws from control panel (one from left hand hole and one from
centre hole). (See Fig. 3).

d) Pull top plate forwards slightly and lift up at front. Support top plate and disconnect wiring

to the two neons. Remove top plate.

e) Lay the top plate on its top face, suitably protected.

INSTALLATION/LEVELLING

The 6-4 Series is designed to stand on a flat and level surface, however, any unevenness may
be overcome by adjusting the four levelling feet, one at each corner of the base plate. The
adjusting screws are accessed by removing left and right hand hotplate castings (See section
‘To Remove Hotplate Castings - Servicing Section Page 48). To raise the cooker turn screw
clockwise, to lower turn screw counter-clockwise.

There are rollers on the base of the cooker to allow for positioning.
When the cooker is in the correct position the four levelling feet can be adjusted to level the

cooker. The feet must be lowered enough to prevent the cooker rolling out of position. (See Fig.

5)

Important

It is very important for the performance and reliability of the hob that the pan supports are fitted
in accordance with the AGASIX-FOUR SERIES - DC6 OWNERS MANUAL.

To help identify the correct location of the pan supports, the centre rear pan support has been
uniquely designed with a tag, as shown. This pan support must be fitted in the rear centre
position with the tag pointing towards the back of the appliance.
