Applying the seal
Important - The figure below shows how the seal must be attached all around the perimeter.
This cook top has been designed for non-professional, domestic us e.
Installation site
Using a gas cooker produces heat and humidity in the room in which it is installed. Ensure the room is well
ventilated by keeping all the natural air vents open or by installing a kitchen hood with an outlet duct. Intensive and
prolonged cooker use may require additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective
ventilation by increasing the mechanical exhaust power, if already installed.
If a hood cannot be installed, fit an electric fan to the outside wall or to a window in the room as long as there are
vents through which air can enter. This electric fan must have a capacity that will guarantee the kitchen has an
hourly air exchange of 3–5 times its volume. The fan must installed in compliance with current standards.
Ventilation must be in accordance with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should have
adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate
surroundings within safe limits.

mains voltage and power available are suitable for its operation.
Before making the electric connections, check the efficiency of the earthing system. Earthing of the cook top is
compulsory by law. The manufacturer will accept no liability for any personal injury or damage to property deriving
from failure to comply with this requirement.
Use only rubber cable type H05RR-F; the cross-section of the wires must be 3x1.5 mm.

Connection options
CONNECTION (GAS PART)
The gas supply must be connected by use of the ½ BSP Elbow, Seal, Regulator supplied (Natural Gas only) or
Test Point Assembly supplied (LPG only) and copper pipe or flexible hose connection. An isolation tap fitted in an
easily accessible position is recommended.
The nameplates on the gas cook tops state the type of gas to be used with the appliance.
However other types of gas can be used after making a few minor modifications.
(See the Instructions in Section titled ‘Adaptation to different Gas types’ on page 5.)
Gas-supply connection
The cook top must be connected to the gas mains or canister in accordance with Standards AS 5601, ensuring
beforehand that it is regulated to suit the gas-supply. If it is not, follow the instructions in the “Adapting to different
gas types” paragraph. If fed by a canister of liquid gas, use pressure regulators that are AGA Certified.
Important: for safe operation, suitable use of energy and longer equipment life, ensure that the feeding pressure is
within the values shown in the table (Burner Technical Details page 6 and the data label).
Flexible Hose Assembly
The appliance is suitable for connection with an AGA Approved, Class B or D Flexible Hose Assembly, which
complies with AS/ANZ1869 and is 1200mm maximum length and 10mm minimum internal diameter. Ensu re that
the Hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or other appliance that may be
installed underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent
deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings
must be used and connections tested for gas leaks. The supply connection point shall be accessible with the
appliance installed.

Installing the gas-supply coupling
These instructions are for authorised cook top installers in accordance with standards AS 5601 . Any procedure
must be carried out with the appliance disconnected from the electricity mains.
ATTENTION: the packaging contains two couplings, one cylindrical and one conical; choose the conical coupling
for installation.
CYLINDRICAL CONICAL
Installation sequence:
Fasten the swivel coupling to the gas inlet pipe of the cook top (which has a cylindrical male gas-thread) inserting
the seal.
- Tighten the coupling, remembering to point it in the required direction.
- Connect the cook top to the gas mains by fitting the seal and fastening the mains pipe to the swivel coupling.
A1= Inlet pipe
A2= Seal
A3= Swivel coupling
Only use pipes and seals that comply with AS5601. These pipes must be installed so that, when fully extended,
their length does not exceed 2000 mm. To facilitate installation and to prevent gas leaks, firstly attach the swivel
coupling to the cook top and then to the gas mains pipe. Inverting this sequence may hamper the gas seal between
the pipe and the cook top.
Important: when installation is complete, check that all the couplings are completely sealed by using a
soapy solution. Never use a flame. Also ensure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact with any
moving part of the cook top (e.g. drawer) and that it is not in a position where it could be damaged.

User’s instructions
This appliance must be used for the purpose it was designed for, i.e. domestic cooking. Any other use is
considered to be improper and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or irrational use.
Using the burners
If the burners are not used for several days, wait a few seconds before lighting them in order to release any air
from the pipes.
As the cook top burners are fitted with an automatic ignition, to light them simply press and turn the handle to the
small star. The appliance uses a spark ignition generator.
If the flame does not ignite within five seconds, turn the knob back to the 0 position and repeat the procedure.
For models with a safety tap (which interrupt the gas flow should the flame accidentally go out) the burners are
ignited as described above, but ensure the knob is pressed in for 5 to 6 seconds after the flame has ignited.
After this time, which gives the safety device enough time to cut-in, the flame will be on permanently.
ATTENTION: once the cook top has been cleaned, ensure that the burners are firmly in their seats and do
not interfere with the igniter.
To get the best from the burners, use flat-bottomed pots with a diameter suited to the burner being used.
For smaller diameter pots and pans (coffee and tea pots, etc.), the power of the burner being used h as to be
regulated in order to ensure that the flame laps the bottom of the pot without spilling over. Do not use pots with
concave or convex bottoms.
WARNING: if the burner flame is extinguished accidentally, turn off the knob and leave it for at least one
minute before trying to re-ignite it.
