For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil rails, wall units etc. a minimum clearance of at least 760 mm above the burner cap must be maintained between them and the cooktop below.

Side / rear clearances to the cooktop

Ideally the cooktop should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and a tall unit or wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider should stand higher than the cooktop (see illustrations).

Not allowed

When two or more appliances are installed together below a rangehood, e.g. a gas cooktop and an induction cooktop combiset, which have different safety clearances given in the installation instructions, you should select the greater clearance of the two.

Recommended

Not recommended

Warning and Safety instructions

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.

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 5601).

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 cooktop surface across the entire length (depth, width).

Installation

Make the worktop cut-out following

the dimensions applicable. Remember to maintain the minimum safety distances (See "Safety clearances".

Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable

heat-resistant sealant to avoid swelling caused by moisture.

Feed the connection cable down

through the cut-out.

Place the cooktop in the cut-out

without securing it.

If the seals on the corners of the frame are not flush with the worktop surface, the corner radius (ß R4) can be carefully scribed to fit.

^ Connect the cooktop to the mains

(see "Electrical connection").

^ Connect the appliance to the gas

supply (see "Gas connection").

Securing the appliance

KM371G/KM391G

Secure the gas cooktop at the front

with fixing brackets a and rear with fixing brackets b supplied as shown. Tighten the screws until seal c sits flush with the worktop.

Installation

General installation tips

Sealant

Do not use any sealant unless expressly instructed to do so. The sealing strip under the edge of the top part of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Do not use sealant between the frame of the top part of the cooktop and the worktop. This could cause difficulties if the cooktop ever needs to be taken out for servicing and possibly result in damage to the frame or the worktop.

Tiled worktop

The grouting a and the shaded area underneath the cooktop frame must be smooth and even so that the frame sits evenly and the sealing strip underneath the top part of the cooktop provides a sufficient seal for the worktop.

Tiled worktops must be a minimum of 5 mm thick to ensure the surface temperatures of the combustible surfaces underneath the tiles do not exceed 50 K above ambient.

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with national and local safety regulations.

Electrical connection

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green/yellow = earth

For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD), with a trip current of 30 mA.

Connection for each appliance should be made via a suitable isolator.

The data plate gives the necessary data for connection.

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Blue = neutral

Brown = live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:

^ The wire which is coloured green and

yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol - or coloured green or green and yellow.

^ The wire which is coloured blue must

be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter A or coloured red.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas supply, or conversion from one type of gas to another should only be undertaken by an approved fitter, who is responsible for correct functioning of the appliance when installed. Every appliance should have its own isolating valve.

Depending on country of destination this appliance is set up for connection to natural or liquid gas. See adhesive label on the appliance: G = NG (natural gas) LP = ULPG (Propane/Butane)

Depending on country of destination jets are supplied for conversion to a different type of gas.

The gas connection must be installed so that connection can be made either from inside or outside the kitchen unit, and the isolating valve must be easily accessible and visible (by opening one of the kitchen unit doors, if necessary).

Check with your local gas supplier about the type of gas and its calorific value, and compare this information with the type of gas quoted on the cooktop data plate.

If the appropriate jets have not been supplied with the appliance you will need to contact your dealer or the Technical Service Department.

Conversion to another type of gas is described under the relevant Section.

The gas connection must be in accordance with national and local regulations. The relevant building regulations must also be observed.

Natural gas / liquid gas

The gas connection must be so sited that it is not adversely heated when the appliance is in operation.

Pressure Test Point a. This is provided on the gas regulator (supplied for natural gas).

Gas connection

Gas pressure must be set by the approved gas fitter as shown on the data plate:

Natural gas 1.0 kPa

ULPG (Propane/Butane) 2.75 kPa

Disconnect gauge and screw in the

test point screw.

When the gas cooktop has been installed it is essential to check that neither the gas pipe nor the electricity cable is in contact with hot parts of the appliance or hot gas exhaust.

If a flexible connection is installed the min. inner C must be 10 mm and a maximum lenght of 1.2 m. Make sure it does not touch moving parts of the kitchen furniture, e.g. a drawer.

Loosen the screw in the test point until it is free in its housing. The screw is retained in this position.

Connect the hose from the pressure gauge.

Reassemble one of the large burners, turn on the gas and manually light the burners.

A full operational test and a test for possible leakages must be carried out by the fitter after installation.
