Positioning
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2
and B.S. 6891 Current Editions . The following requirements
must be observed:
a) The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting room
3
with a volume of less than 20m
of volume less than 5m
2
110cm
between 5m
is required, if it is installed in a room of volume
3
and 10m3 a supplementary airvent area of
3
50cm2 is required, if the volume exceeds 11m
. If it is installed in a room
an air vent of effective area of
3
no airvent
is required. How ev er, if the room has a door or a windo w
which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
3
even when the v olume is between 5m
and 11m3.
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider
it necessary to open a window to the outside to improve
ventilation.
c) If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room, B.S.5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should, be
consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.
Levelling Y our Appliance (only on certain models)
4 support feet which are adjusted using screws are located
in the lower part of the cooker. These level off the oven
when necessary. It is essential that the cook er be standing
level.
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, pro vided 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 m ust be f ollo 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
600mm from the edge of the board. Curtains must not
be fitted immediately behind the cooker or within
600mm 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
inverted. It is important to make sure the safety chain
is always situated on the side which corresponds to
the hose holder (Fig. B).
Mounting the legs (only on certain models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your
cooker.

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 convenience of an y 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
4
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 “Car acteristics 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 nev er be at any point in its lenght in contact
with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
• the hose must nev er be longer than 1,5 metre;
• the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have any e xcessively 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, by low , a qualified, corgi approv ed engineer must be
called for installation.
Electrial connection
Pow er supply voltage and frequency: 230-240V a.c. 50/60 Hz.
Note: the supply cable must be positioned so that it never
reaches at any point a temperature 50°C higher than the
room temperature. The cable must be routed awa y from the
rear vents. Should you require it, you may use a longer cab le,
however, you must ensure that the cable supplied with the
appliance is replaced by one of the same specifications in
accordance with current standards and legislation.
Y our appliance is supplied with a 13 amp fused plug that can
be plugged into a 13 amp socket f or immediate use. Before
using the appliance please read the instructions below.
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
THE FOLLOWING OPERA TIONS SHOULD BE CARRIED
OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Replacement fuse covers:
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.
Please note: for appliances with a rating greater than 13
amp (eg: electric hob, doub le 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 cab le is
not supplied.
Disposing of the plug:
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you mak e the
pins unusable so that it cannot be accidentally inserted into
a socket. Instructions for connecting cable to an alternative
plug:
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
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:
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE “NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BRO WN “LIVE” (“L”)
GREEN AND YELLO W “EARTH” (“E”)
Replacing the fuse:
When replacing a faulty fuse, a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse
to BS 1362 should always be used, and the fuse cover refitted. If the fuse cov er is lost, the plug must not be used until
a replacement is obtained.
