Instructions for the installer

2 POSITIONING OF THE HOB

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by authorised

persons.

Clearance around the appliance must comply with the requirements of
AS5601.
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must
be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried
out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic
laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C).

2.1 Attachment to the support structure

Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top
surface of the counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the
rear border.
This appliance is classified as "type Y" in relation to fire hazards and
can therefore be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on
condition that a certain distance “X” be kept between the appliance and
the wall as shown in the figure so as to avoid damage from
overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 600 mm between the hot plate flames
and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.

6

Accurately position the gasket provided all around the outer edge of the
hole in the top surface as shown in the figures below, pressing it down
so as to make it adhere properly. For measurements, refer to the figure
depending on the hob model to be installed, bearing in mind that in both
models the front and rear sides must skim the hole. Secure the hob to
the counter with brackets A (supplied). Carefully trim any excess from
border C of the gasket. The distances in the following drawing refer to
the hole on the inner side of the gasket.

2.2 Fixing 90 cm hobs on 60 cm base unit

If a 90 cm hob is to be bracketed to a 60 cm base unit, the 2 central
brackets “A” have to be used in addition to the side brackets “B” as
shown in the drawing below. The gas connection also has to be turned
through 90° in relation to the original position.

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.

Instructions for the installer

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.

2.4 Room ventilation

Caution – This hob 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 cm
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.

2.5 Discharge of combustion products

Discharge of combustion products must be guaranteed by means of
hoods connected to a natural draught flue with certain efficiency, or by
means of forced aspiration.
An efficient aspiration system requires careful planning by a specialist
capable of installing it, respecting the positions and distances
prescribed
by standards. After installation, the installer must issue a certificate of
conformity.
