! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. ! Intensive and prolonged use may require additional ventilation, for example, opening a window or ventilation more efficient by increasing the suction power The appliance has the following technical specifications:

Category: II 2H3+

Positioning

! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with British Standard Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following requirements must be observed:

• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.

In a chimney stack or branched flue. (exclusively for cooking appliances)

• The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power.

The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner

Room to be Vented

The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above.

Enlarging the ventilation slot between window and floor.

However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Fitting the appliance

Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 50 mm from the edge of the hob.

• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance of 700 mm from the hob.

• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a

700mm min.

Installation

Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to guarantee proper installation in compliance with the applicable norms in force regarding accident-prevention for electrical connection. For the correct operation of the appliance when built into the cabinet, it is vital that the minimum distances illustrated in Fig. 1 be respected. The hob features a type Y degree of protection against overheating in compliance with norms. All surfaces adjacent to the cabinet and the back panel should be made of materials resistant to a temperature of 65°C.

There are three different groups of appliance as far as

installation is concerned:

BUILT-IN HOB

HEIGHT= STEEL THICKNESS

2- Built-in hobs (Class 3) with edges lower than 58 mm

(see figure 2, detail H2). To install this type of hob, a hole large enough to accommodate the whole lower casing of the appliance must be made on the worktop intended to be under the hob. Remember to leave a gap of at least 1 cm between the lower casing and the worktop around the whole perimeter of the appliance (the underside of the casing can, however, touch the surface below it). To fit the appliances, follow the instructions given above in point 1 or use any supplementary instruction leaflet that is provided in special cases.

1- Built-in hobs to be slotted in (Class 3 - see figure 2,

detail H1). In this case it is necessary to make a

hole in the worktop whose measurements match those of the hob. The measurement at the side should be reduced by 1 cm so as to ensure that 1 cm of the perimeter of the hob overlaps with and rests on top of the supporting surface. To slot in the hob flush with the worktop, the cut-out on this

supporting surface must be lowered (see figure 4a), so that both the edge of the hob and the seal under it can be positioned there. Before fitting the hob to the worktop, position the seal provided along the perimeter of the hob. Brackets for fixing hobs to the cabinet have been provided, and these should be fitted as shown in detail S (fig.3).

3- Sit-on hobs (Class 1) with edges higher than 58 mm

(see figure 2, detail H3). In this case, the lower casing of the hob does not protrude further than the edge of the appliance. Even when the hob is resting on the worktop, it will suffice to leave space for the gas supply tube and electricity supply cable. To fit this type of hob, follow the instructions below (fig. 5):

• Fix the two screws provided "A" at a distance from the back panel as shown in figure 5, leaving the heads of the screws sticking out of the wood by 1.5 mm.

• Hook the hob onto the two screws "A" and push it towards the back.

• Fix the appliance to the cabinet at the rear, using the two brackets "B" and the four screws "C" (these are all provided).

N.B.: to make maintenance operations more efficient, the area around the hob must be easily accessible after it has been installed (i.e. there are no completely shutoff elements).

N.B.: An insulating wooden panel should be fitted beneath the hob, positioned at a minimum of 20 mm from the hob underside. This wooden panel must be removable in order to allow for any maintenance operations beneath the hob.

Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate. The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuitbreaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.

• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed. ! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only (Should assistance be required, please telephone Scholtès Assistance free number 0800 158 55 00).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

This appliance is designated and set to work with the gas indicated on the label situated on the type for which the appliance has been set, proceed with replacing the corresponding nozzles (provided), following instruction given in the paragraph "adaptation to different types ok gas".

The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current national regulations. Before carrying out the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.” When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle specifications”). This will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)

! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance. There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.

! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.

Checking the tightness of the connection

! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
