Safety instructions for installation

Damage from falling objects.

Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood

above it.

Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.

The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen units) must be treated with 100 °C heat-resistant adhesive which will not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant material.

The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.

A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential to maintain a distance of at least 300 mm between these two appliances.

When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot appliance parts.

The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become trapped.

This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with aftermarket lids or covers fitted.

This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile installations (e.g. on a ship).

Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following pages.

All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Safety distances

Safety distance above the

cooktop

A minimum safety distance must be maintained between the cooktop and the rangehood above it. See the rangehood manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for details.

If the manufacturer's instructions are not available for the rangehood, a minimum safety distance as per AS/ NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.

For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety distance of 600 mm must be maintained between these objects and the highest part of the cooktop below.

When two or more appliances which have different safety distances are installed together below a rangehood, you should observe the greatest safety distance.

Safety distances

Safety distances to the sides

and back of the appliance

Ideally the appliance should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall on one side (right or left). On the other side, however, no tall unit or wall should stand higher than the appliance. Before installing the appliance, check that the location provides the required clearances from combustible material and, if necessary, provide protection to adjacent surfaces as required by regulations.

Safety distances

A gas appliance shall be installed such that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface* will not exceed 65 °C above ambient.

The minimum clearance from a combustible surface shall be a 200 mm horizontal distance from the periphery of any gas burner (AS/NZS 5601.1).

If that horizontal clearance is less than 200 mm, that vertical surface must be protected by a non-combustible material for 150 mm above the top of the edge of the nearest burner for the full dimension of the cooktop (depth, width).

XHeight from worktop surface to the top of the edge of the burner

The shown area indicates the protected surface, which may be ceramic tiles or other approved material.

*Combustible surface:

A material which will ignite and burn, and includes material which has been flameproofed.

Clearance underneath the

appliance

A minimum safety clearance of 30 mm must be provided underneath the appliance.

Please note that clearance must also be provided for the installation of the flexible gas connection hose and mains electrical cable if the appliance is to be installed above a closed surface (e.g. an oven).

Installation notes

Seal between the cooktop and	Tiled worktop
the worktop

Do not use sealant between the cooktop and the worktop. This could result in damage to the cooktop or the worktop if the cooktop ever needs to be removed for servicing. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the appliance provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Grout lines and the hatched area underneath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even. If they are not, the cooktop will not sit flush with the worktop and the sealing strip underneath the cooktop will not provide a good seal between the cooktop and the worktop.
