:Warning – Risk of deflagration!
Accumulation of unburned gas in an enclosed
area carries a risk of deflagration. Do not
subject the appliance to draughts. These
might blow out the burners. Carefully read the
instructions and warnings on the operation of
gas burners.
:Warning – Risk of poisoning!
The kitchen will become hot and humid and
combustion products produced when this gas
appliance is used. Make sure the kitchen is
well ventilated, particularly when the hob is in
operation: either keep the natural ventilation
apertures open, or install a ventilation system
(extractor hood). Intense prolonged use of the
appliance may require additional or more
effective ventilation: open a window or
increase the power of the ventilation system.
:Warning – Risk of burns!
■ The hotplates and their immediate vicinity
get very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces.

from this appliance.
Risk of burns!
■ If the liquefied gas bottle is not upright,
liquefied propane/butane can enter the
appliance. Intense darting flames may
therefore escape from the burners.

start to leak over time so that gas escapes
uncontrollably. Both can cause burns.
Always use liquefied gas bottles in an
upright position.

Clearances
A range hood fitted above the top must be installed
according to the installation instructions for the range
hood. A minimum distance of 650 mm is required for a
range hood and 750 mm for an exhaust fan.
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200 mm from
the edge of any hob burner must be a suitable noncombustible material for a height of 150 mm for the
entire length of the hob. Any combustible construction
above the hotplate must be at least 650 mm above the
top of the burner and no construction shall be within
450 mm above the top of the burner.

PLQ
A minimum depth of 50 mm from the top of the worktop
surface must be provided for the appliance.
If the base of the hotplate can be touched, a protecting
shield must be fitted.
Installation of cooktop into the kitchen
bench
Side clearances: If the distance measured from the
periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical surface is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in
accordance with clauses 6.10.1.2 of AS/NZS 5601.1.
Make an appropriate size cut in the work surface.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the cutting surfaces
with a special glue. This protects them from moisture
which could collect under the work surface.
Note: Wear protective gloves to fit the hob.
Depending on the model, the adhesive seal may be
factory-fitted. If this is the case, it should not be
removed under any circumstances, since the adhesive
seal prevents leaks. If the seal has not been factoryfitted, apply it to the underside of the hob.
Fitting the appliance onto the kitchen unit:
1. Screw each one of the clips into the position
indicated so that they are free to rotate.
2. Insert and centre the hob.
Press the sides of the hob until it is supported
around its entire perimeter.
3. Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The position of the clips depends on how thick the
work surface is.
Do not stick the hob onto the worktop with silicone.
[
■ The shield must be at least 10 mm from the lowest
part of the hotplate and must be capable of
withstanding the appliance temperatures. Minimum
thickness of benchtop is 30 mm.
■ The shield material must be mdf or similar with
minimum thickness of 12 mm.
■ The shield overall dimensions must be 560 mm wide
x 480 mm deep.
■ Provide cut-out in right hand rear of shield of 80 mm
wide x 80 mm deep to provide for gas regulator / LP
connection fitting.
After installation of the shield the clearance around the
top and sides of shield will allow adequate ventilation.
Ensure the side and top clearances are not obstructed.

the hotplate to allow electrical connection. The socket
must remain accessible after installation of the
appliance.
