INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before you start
Before starting to install the cooktop, make sure that:
the cooktop has not been damaged during transport. In case of doubt after unpacking and checking it, contact the retailer
the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the cooktop (as detailed on the appliance data label and in the ‘Gas rate and injector size table’ further below) are compatible
the cooktop will be connected to a 220-240 V 50 Hz power supply and earthed via the power supply cable
there is an earthed power outlet within the reach of the cooktop’s power supply cable (within 900mm from the rear right of the cooktop, see dimension G in ‘Clearances’)
the power outlet will be accessible after installation
the power supply cable will not touch any hot or metal parts
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with local wiring rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)
the isolating switch will be accessible after installation
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
exposed bare edges of the cutout are sealed with an oil-based paint or moistureproof polyurethane to prevent possible damage from moisture creeping between the cooktop trim and the benchtop.
Standards requirements
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards (AS/NZS 5601.1 current edition) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65oC above ambient. This is typically achieved by:
having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see dimensions A, B, and C in ‘Clearances’) OR
protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (see dimension D in ‘Clearances’) with non-combustible surface materials such as:
5 mm-thick ceramic tiles—these alone are adequate
tempered glass or sheetmetal (minimum thickness 0.4mm)—acceptable when used in front of a fire resistant material
F&P splashback (not available in Australia) when used with a 10mm clearance from the rear edge of the cooktop to the front of the splashback (SB90 and SB1216 splashback models only).
Note: these cooktops have been tested by an independent testing lab and meet standards requirements when installed to the dimensions in these instructions.

Fastening the cooktop to the bench
Connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
IMPORTANT!
This cooktop is supplied factory-set for either Natural Gas or ULPG. Please ensure that the factory-set adjustment of the cooktop is compatible with the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure).
The gas connection must be carried out by a suitably qualified person according to the relevant standards.
For Natural Gas, connect the gas supply to the gas pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop. Adjust the regulator to obtain a test point pressure of 1 kPa (4”W.C.) with the three largest burners operating at the highest setting.
For ULPG, connect the the gas supply to the test point adaptor supplied with the cooktop. Ensure that the supply pressure is regulated to 2.75 kPa (11” W.C.)
Make sure the connection point will be accessible with the cooktop installed.
To enable the gas supply to be readily shut off, make sure the connection is fitted with an isolating valve close to the cooktop.
Attach the duplicate appliance data label on a surface adjacent to the cooktop, so that it will be easily read with the cooktop installed.
For instructions on converting the cooktop for use with a different gas type, see section ‘Converting to a different gas type’.
Gas connection to these cooktops MUST use the elbow supplied. The regulator will not seal if installed without it.
Ensure the fibre washer (supplied) is located between the elbow (supplied) and cooktop gas inlet. Failure to use this washer will cause the connection to leak. Tighten the floating nut to firm finger tight, plus an additional 1/4 turn (90o).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Gas connection with a flexible hose
If the gas is connected with a flexible hose, the connector on the wall should be between 800-850mm above the floor and to a distance of at least 250mm outside the width of the cooktop. The connector should be accessible with the cooktop installed.
Flexible hose assemblies should be AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified. The thread connection shall be Rp ½” (ISO 7-1) female.
The hose assembly must be as short as practicable and comply with relevant AS 5601/ NZS 5261 requirements.
The hose must not be kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently deformed.
The hose must not be near or in contact with any hot surfaces (eg base of metal hotplate, flue or chassis of underbench oven etc).

COOKING GUIDELINES AND COOKWARE
Cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Start cooking on a high setting. When food comes to the boil, reduce the setting and maintain a steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
Cookware
Use saucepans with thick flat bases. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take longer to cook.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage its surface.
Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the pan supports or deflect the flame.
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large burner is not efficient.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan base diameters that may be used on each burner:
BURNER MINIMUM DIAMETER MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Auxiliary 12cm -
Semi-rapid 12cm -
Wok regular pans 18cm 26cm
woks (with wok stand) - 45cm
18
COOKING GUIDELINES AND COOKWARE
Using a wok
Use your wok only on a wok burner and with the supplied wok stand.
Make sure the wok does not push any other pans aside. This could make them unstable, or deflect heat onto nearby walls or the benchtop.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure that the wok stand is stable: its notches need to fit tightly on the grating.
Note: to purchase additional wok stands, contact Customer Care.
Using the supplied wok stand

CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT!
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always:
turn all burners off.
switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
make sure that the cooktop and its parts are a safe temperature to touch.
General advice
Clean the cooktop regularly—do not let stains become burnt on, as they may become very difficult to remove.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
Clean up spillages as soon as possible. If left to dry on, food residue may clog the flame ports, causing an uneven flame pattern.
Make sure that no cleaner residue is left on any cooktop part; when heated, these could stain the cooktop.
See the following pages for instructions on replacing the pan supports and reassembling the burners correctly after cleaning.
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.

There is a slight rubbery or metallic smell when I use the cooktop for the first time.
There is a power failure.
There is no clicking/ sparking.
There is clicking/ sparking, but a burner or burners won’t light easily or at all.
This is normal for first use and is caused by manufacturing residues burning off. The smell will disappear with use.
You can still use your cooktop, but will need to match­light the burner(s). To do so, press down and turn the dial counter-clockwise to High while holding a lighted match close to the side of the burner. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting it.
There is a power failure. See entry ‘There is a power failure’ above.
The ignitor(s) may be dirty or wet. Clean them following the instructions in ‘Care and cleaning’.
Wait 1 minute, then try to relighting the burner again, holding the dial for a few more seconds this time around. If this doesn’t work and the burner still won’t light, see the other possible causes and solutions below.
The gas supply may not be turned on at the valve or gas bottle. Turn all the burners off, and check whether the gas supply to the cooktop is turned on.
The gas supply to the house may not be working. You should hear the gas when you turn a burner on.
If you use bottled gas, this may indicate you are getting near the end of the bottle and need to replace it.
Burner parts may be clogged or wet. Make sure that they are clean and dry. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
Burner parts may not have been replaced correctly. Check the assembly and make sure the burner cap is sitting flat. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for illustrations.
