This cooktop must be installed in accordance with the
requirements of local gas and electrical authorities, as
well as the latest published versions of the following
standards:

• AS/NZS 5601 Gas Installation code

• SAA Wiring Rules.

Positioning

! It is possible to install the appliance alongside
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
! This cooker should be installed directly on the floor.
Do not install this cooker on an artificial base of any
kind.
! Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of
the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat­resistant material (T 90°C).
! Important: Do not install this appliance adjacent to
the door or other means of access to minimise the
likelihood of persons using the door making contact

Room Ventilation

Where the total input of all appliances exceeds 3
MJ/h for each cubic metre of the room or enclosure
volume, the space shall be ventilated by one of the
methods detailed below. For the purpose of assessing
the adequacy of ventilation, the space that cannot be
isolated by doors is the ‘volume of a room’.

Natural ventilation direct from outside

Two permanent openings shall be provided directly to
outside. The openings shall be located to ensure the
distance between the top of the upper opening and
the ceiling of the room or enclosure, and the distance
between the bottom of the lower opening and the floor
of the room or enclosure does not exceed 5% of the
height of the room or enclosure. The minimum free

ventilation area provided by each opening shall be
calculated using the following formula:

A = 3 × T
where
A = the minimum free ventilation area (cm
T = the total gas consumption of all appliances
(MJ/h)

The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation
opening shall be 6 mm.

NOTE 1 When used in this Clause, the term ‘directly
to outside’ means any one of the following options,
provided that the ventilation path is unobstructed by
building material or insulation:

(a) Directly through an outside wall (preferred

option).
(b) Through to an outside wall but offset.
(c) Into a cavity ventilated to outside.
(d) Into an underfloor space ventilated to outside.
(e) Into a roof space ventilated to outside.

NOTE 2 The two openings may be combined provided
that the top and bottom of the opening reach the limits
set by this Clause.

Natural ventilation via adjacent room

Two permanent openings shall be provided in the room
or enclosure. The openings shall be located to ensure
the distance between the top of the upper opening and
the ceiling of the room or enclosure, and the distance
between the bottom of the lower opening and the floor
of the room or enclosure does not exceed 5% of the
height of the room or enclosure.
The minimum free ventilation area provided by each
opening shall be calculated using the following
formula:

A = 6 × T
where
A = the minimum free ventilation area (cm
T = the total gas consumption of all appliances
(MJ/h)
These requirements shall apply to all subsequent
rooms until a room is ventilated to outside, in
accordance with the previous section, or the total input
of the appliances does not exceed 3 MJ/h for each
cubic metre of the total volume of the enclosure and
rooms.
The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation
opening shall be 6 mm.

If a replacement fuse cover is fitted, it must be of the
correct colour as indicated by the coloured marking
or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of
the plug. Replacements can be obtained directly from
your nearest Service Depot.

Removing the plug:

If your appliance has a non-rewireable moulded plug
and you should wish to remove it to add a cable
extension or to re-route the mains cable through
partitions, units etc., please ensure that either:

• the plug is replaced by a fused 13 amp re-wireable
plug bearing the BSI mark of approval.

or:

• the mains cable is wired directly into a 13 amp cable
outlet, controlled by a switch, (in compliance with
BS 5733) which is accessible without moving the
appliance.

! For appliances with a rating greater than 13 amp (eg:
electric hob, double ovens and freestanding electric
cookers etc.) the mains cable must be wired into a
cooker output point with a rating of 45 amp. In this
case the cable is not supplied.

Disconnecting the cable

Ensure that the means for disconnection of the
power cable is incorporated into the fixed wiring in
accordance with local wiring rules.
(New Zealand statutory warning): The cooker must be
connected to the electricity supply by a cable fitted
with an appropriately rated plug that is compatible with
the socket-outlet fitted to the final subcircuit in the fixed
wiring that is intended to supply this cooker.

Disposing of the plug:

accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or or
coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or coloured
Red.
Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N” or coloured
Black.
If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted with a
13 amp fuse. A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15
amp fuse, either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution
board. If you are in any doubt about the electrical supply
to your machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

How to connect an alternative plug:
