and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following requirements
must be observed:
a) The cook er should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20m3. If it is installed in a room
of volume less than 5m3 an air vent of effective area of
110cm2 is required, if it is installed in a room of volume
between 5m3 and 10m3 a supplementary airvent area of
50cm2 is required, if the volume exceeds 11m3 no airvent
is required. Howev er , if the room has a door or a window
which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even when the v olume is between 5m3 and 11m3.
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider
it necessary to open a window to the outside to improve

Levelling your appliance (only on a f e w models)
Your cook er is supplied with feet for le velling the appliance.
If necessary , these feet can be screwed into the housings
in the corners of the cooker base.
Installation of the cooker
The cooker is prepared with protection degree against
excessive heating of type X, the appliance can therefore
be installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed touching
walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 50°C above
room temperature. For a correct installation of the cook er
the following precautions must be follo wed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/
diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or
shower room.
b) The fur niture units next to the cooker, that is higher
than the working boards, must be placed at least
110mm from the edge of the board. Curtains must not
be fitted immediately behind the cooker or within 110
mm. of the sides of the cooker.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the
requirements in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the
base units, providing that the lower edge of the wall
cabinet is a minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop.
The minimum distance combustible material kitchen
units can be fitted directly above the worktop is 700
mm (Fig. A).
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must
be of flameproof material.
f) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be
attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the
appliance.
Note: some models can have their gas connection

Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a
corgi registered installer. During installation of this product
it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply
from the appliance for the conv enience of any subsequent
removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the
gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to
the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is
ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph headed “Adaptation to diff erent gas types”. On
some models the gas supply can be connected on the left
or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection,
reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap
and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In
the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas

supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be
sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the
cooker touching hot parts.
HOT PARTS
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with
the values shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the
burners and nozzles”. When the cooker is installed
between cabinets (recessed), the gas connection must
be effected by an approved flexible hose with bayonet
fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet for the
cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.
Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used
corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:
• the hose must ne ver be at any point in its lenght in contact
with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
• the hose must ne ver be longer than 1,5 metre;
• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have an y excessively narrow curves
or bottlenecks;
• the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire length
to check its condition;
• the hose must alwa ys be in good condition, never attempt
to repair.
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety
(installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, b y low , a qualified, corgi approv ed engineer must be
called for installation.
Electrial connection
