position near the unit.

Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts.

If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must
not be less than 1.0 mm2 (3 x 1.0 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 H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has
a maximum temperature of 90°C. Any replacement needed should be

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 (propane) appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply
must be in accordance with the requirements of
AG601. A ½” BSP connector at the inlet is
