Instructions for the installer
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).
2.1.1 Attachment to 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 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 750 mm between the hot plate flames
and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.
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
B of the gasket. The distances in the following drawing refer to the hole
on the inner side of the gasket.
Instructions for the installer
In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a separating
panel has to be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm
between the bottom of the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be
easily removable to allow access in the event of technical service.
Overall dimensions: location of gas and electrical connection points (all
measures in mm).

2.2 Clearance above and around domestic appliances
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)
Instructions for the installer
9
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
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 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 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.
