Instructions for the installer

2. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by authorised persons. Clearance around the cooker must comply with the requirements of AS5601.

2.1 Electrical connection

Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located inside the storage compartment.

This rating plate must never be removed.

Overall dimensions: location of gas and electrical connection points (all measures in mm).

On the power line, install a two-pole cut-off device with contact cut-off distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily accessible position near the unit.

If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must not be less than 1.5 mm2(3 x 1.5 cable), keeping in mind that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only the special cables available at our Service Centres.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the appliance.

2.2 Gas connection

This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural Gas or LPG. Refer to page 12 for the relevant burner pressure and appropriate injector sizes. When the appliance is to be connected to Natural Gas then the pressure regulator supplied must be fitted to the gas inlet. A test point (for checking the gas pressure) is supplied either with the regulator or as a separate fitting in the case of LPG appliances. Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BPS connector at the inlet is recommended and the gas supply line to the appliance must be of adequate length to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for service or disconnection and be:

(a)- annealed copper pipe; or (b)- a hose assembly complying with requirements of AS 1869 - class B

or equivalent. The cooker must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be turned off and disconnected for servicing and removal of the appliance as required from the gas supply. Before the cooker is operated make certain all relevant parts are placed in the correct position. When the installation is completed the installation connections of cooker will require to be leak tested, the burner operating pressure and flame checked and adjusted. Warranty service calls do not cover these adjustments! To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at least 2 large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is secured to wall when installation is completed. N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the rear of the appliance. An approved manual shut-off valve must be installed. The N.G. regulator must be checked and adjusted to 1.0kPa after installation.

L.P.G. Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly. The pressure must be checked to ensure it is operating at

2.75kPa.

Instructions for the installer

2.3 Room ventilation

Caution – This cooker may only be installed and operated in rooms permanently ventilated in accordance with current regulations. For proper operation of a gas appliance it is essential for the air necessary for combustion of the gas to be able to flow naturally into the room. Air must flow directly into the room through openings in its outside walls. This (these) opening (s) must have a free passage cross-section of at least 100 cm2, or 200 cm2 for appliances not equipped with gas safety device. These openings must be constructed so that they cannot be obstructed indoors or outdoors, and should preferably be close to the floor on the side opposite to the combustion gas discharge point. If it is not possible to make the openings in the room where the cooker is installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjoining room, proveded it is not a bedroom or a room with fire risk.

2.4 Clearance above and around domestic cookers

Extract from AS5601

Instructions for the installer

REQUIREMENTS

1 Overhead clearances – (Measurement A)

Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the cooking appliance and a range hood be less than 600 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm.

Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with Clause

5.12.1.2. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm.

2 Side clearances – (Measurements B & C)

Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with Clause 5.12.1.2 to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area. Where the cooking appliance is fitted with a ‘splashback’, protection of the rear wall is not required.

3 Additional requirements for Freestanding and Elevated Cooking

Appliaces – (Measurements D & E) Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than 200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet. See insets above.

NOTES

1 Requirement 3 does not apply to a freestanding or elevated

cooking appliance which is designed to prevent flames or the cooking vessels from extending beyond the periphery of the appliance.

2 The ‘cooking surface area’ is defined as that part of the

appliance where cooking normally takes place and does not

include those parts of the appliance containing control knobs. 3 For definition of hob, see Clause 1.4.64. 4 For definition of trivet, see Clause 1.4.109. 5 Consideration is to be given to window treatments when

located near cooking appliances. See Clause 5.3.4.

Instructions for the installer

2.5 Instruction for wall fixing

1) Fix the screw to the wall and hook the chain (B);

2) Hook the chain to the hole positioned at the rear of the cooker by the

gas pipe (A);

3) Once the chain is in position, push the cooker against the wall;

4) The height of the screw hole from floor level must not exceed 800

mm (C).

Instructions for the installer

3. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance work, detach the appliance from the electrical socket.

The hob of the cooker is adjusted for use with either natural gas at a pressure of 1.0kPa (A11X) or LPG (propane) at a pressure of 2.75 kPa (A11XLP). In the case of functioning with other types of gas the burner nozzles must be changed and the minimum flame adjusted on the gas taps. To change the nozzles, proceed as described below.

3.1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob

This operation requires no primary air regulation.

1. Extract the grids and remove all the caps and flame-spreader crowns;

2. Unscrew the burner nozzles with a 7 mm socket wrench;

3. Replace the nozzles according to the type of gas to be used and the description in paragraph “3.2 Burner and nozzle characteristics table”.

Replace the burners in the correct position.
