Fig. 1

DESN 512388 C

Any side wall above the cooker on either side shall be not less than 60mm horizontally from the
cooker (Fig. 1).

Surfaces over the top of the cooker must not be closer than 650mm.
A minimum clearance of 1000mm must be available at the front of the cooker to enable it to be

serviced.
The vent slots in the back of the top plate must not be obstructed.
The cooker must stand on a firm and level surface and we recommend that any soft material

such as linoleum is removed.

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN FITTING A COOKER HOOD

If a cooker hood is to be fitted, we only recommend the 6-4 Series CH900 cooker hood. It must
be installed at a height of at least 800mm above the hotplate.

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, before connecting to the mains terminal connection.

REFER TO FIG. 2 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.
Remember that an excess of cable length is required behind the cooker for the withdrawal of the

cooker from between the kitchen units etc.
SINGLE PHASE CONNECTION - The cooker requires a 30amp power supply fitted in

conjunction with a Double Pole Isolator with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm and be
connected to the mains with a minimum 6mm

2

cable to comply with the latest editions of the

Local and National Wiring Regulations.
THE ISOLATOR MUST NOT BE POSITIONED IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE COOKER, BUT

MUST BE SITED WITHIN 2 METRES OF THE APPLIANCE.
Replace the right hand side panel once electrical connection has been made and replace fixing

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

panel and mains terminal.

To allow ease of servicing and cooker mobility, an approved flexible 4ft hose should be fitted.
Supply piping should not be less than R 1/2 (1/2” BSP). Connection is made to the R 1/2 (1/2”
BSP) female threaded entry in the inlet block located just below the hotplate level on the rear
right hand side of the cooker.

The gas bayonet connector must be fitted to the wall in the shaded area dimensioned in Fig. 4.
Take into account that it must be possible to pull the cooker forward sufficiently for servicing.
Ensure flexible hose is not trapped between cooker back panel and rear wall. Ensure hose is
routed within the shaded area and away from shielded oven vent. The flexible hose must be in
accordance with the relevant standards.

IMPORTANT: THE GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION AT THE WALL MUST NOT PROJECT OUT
FROM THE WALL BY MORE THAN 45MM, SO THAT IT DOES NOT FOUL WITH THE BACK
OF THE COOKER.

Check for gas soundness after connecting the appliance.

FLEXIBLE HOSE

The flexible hose must be suitable for use with Propane gas, capable of 70ÞC temperature rise,
and carry a red stripe, band or label. If in doubt contact your supplier.

COOKER ST

ABILITY

A stability bracket shall be secured firmly to the fabric of the building, when the appliance is
connected to the gas supply by a flexible hose. For positioning of bracket (See Fig. 3). Asafety
chain must also be anchored firmly to the wall and cooker to prevent the flexible hose from
straining, when the cooker is withdrawn for servicing. When fitting a stability bracket and chain
refer to dimensions in Fig. 3 and Fig. 3A.

The pressure test point is situated at the rear right hand side of the hotplate.
Place the wok burner head, burner cap and ring into position on the hotplate. Light the burner by

pushing in the appropriate control knob, and turning it anti-clockwise IGNITION position, until gas
ignites, then continue to turn to the FULL ON position.

For LPG appliance (propane), the pressure should be 37mbar (14.8 inches water gauge).
Turn off the tap, disconnect the pressure gauge and refit test point blanking screw.

INSTALLATION/LEVELLING

The DC6 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 50). To raise the cooker turn screw clockwise, to
lower turn screw anti-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)

LEVELLING AND MOBILITY WHEELS

HOTPLATE CASTINGS

1. Attach earth cable from centre casting to cooker chassis and locate over burner bodies.
Repeat for LH and RH castings and that the gaskets are fitted where the outer castings
overlap centre castings. Ensure that earth cables are attached. (See Fig. 6A)

2. Secure castings using 8 profiled fixing nuts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. (See Fig. 6B).

5. Fit the pan supports in the following order The pan supports are marked on the underside to
correspond to the markings below. The pan supports must locate in the recesses in the
hotplate casting. (See Fig. 8A & 8B)

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.
