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.

If the appliance is connected to the supply by means of a fixed
connection, install a multipolar cut-out device on the line, with
contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located
near the appliance and in an easily reachable position.

Connection to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In
the latter case the plug and socket must be suitable for the cable
employed and conform with the regulations in force.
Regardless of the type of connection, earthing of the appliance is
absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure that the supply
line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.

1. For operation on 220-240V~: use a

three-pole H05RR-F or H05V2V2-F cable
having a cross section of 3 x 2.5 mm

2

(90 cm wide models) or 3 x 1.5 mm

2

(60 cm wide models).

The cable end to be connected to the appliance must be provided
with ground wire (yellow-green) at least 20 mm longer.

Instructions for the installer

2.2 Gas connection

Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural and U.L.P. gas.

This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural
Gas or ULPG (propane). 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 ULPG (propane) appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in
accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A

1

/2” BSP 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:

1. annealed copper pipe or;

2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class
“B”, 10 mm diameter.

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

1

/2” 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.

9

U.L.P.G: Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly.
The pressure must be checked to ensure it is operating
at 2.75kPa. A separate test point fitting must be installed
between the piping & the appliance for the pressure to
be checked to ensure it is operating at 2.75kPa.
Make the connection to the gas mains using a continuous
wall flexible steel pipe whose specifications comply with
the current regulations. Carefully screw the connector 3 to the gas
connector 1 of the appliance, placing the seal 2 between them.
Apply a suitable sealing substance to the thread of the connector 3
and then tighten the flexible steel pipe 4 to the connector 3.

2.3 Combustion gas discharge

Combustion gases may be discharged by means of hoods
connected to a natural draught chimney or a fan extraction system.
An efficient extraction system requires precise planning by an
authorised specialist and must comply with the distances and
positions indicated by the regulations. After installation, the
specialist must issue a certificate of compliance.

2.4 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 cm

2

, or 200 cm2for 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, provided it is not a
bedroom or a room with fire risk.

2.5 Clearance above and around domestic cookers

Extract from AS5601

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

10

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.

3. Adaptation to different types of gas

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect
the appliance from the mains.

The hob of the cooker is adjusted for use with either natural gas at
a pressure of 1.0kPa. In the case of operation 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".

4.

Replace the burners in the correct position.
