Before Installation

Ensure Suitability Of Location

Before making any alterations to kitchen cabinetry, you should ensure that the proposed
location for the cooktop is suitable:

Electrical supply: there must be an earthed 240V 50 Hz 10Amp power socket within reach of the
supplied electrical cable (approximately 850mm from the rear right of the cooktop). The power
socket must be readily accessible without having to remove the appliance. If a power socket
needs to be installed or relocated, the work must be done by a licensed electrician.

Cabinetry: We recommend that the adjacent kitchen surfaces be capable of withstanding
temperatures of 100ºC, and that the cabinetry can support the weight of the cooktop plus fi lled
cooking utensils. If necessary, check with the bench top supplier that the material is suitable. St
George Appliances will not be liable for heat damage to incorrectly specifi ed materials.

Clearances: Ensure there is suffi cient room to install the cooktop with all required clearances as
specifi ed on the next page.

Gas Supply: Ensure that it is possible to run gas lines to the gas connection point of the
appliance. The gas connection point must be accessible without having to remove the
cooktop. If a fl exible hose is used, the connection point must also be accessible without having
to remove the cooktop.

Check Gas Type

Check that the gas type (ULPG or Natural Gas) available in the building matches the gas type
of the cooktop, as shown on the gas type sticker.

If the cooktop is suited to the incorrect gas type, it is possible to perform a gas conversion. This is
explained later in this manual.

Before Installation

Clearances

Overhead Clearances

Rangehoods and overhead exhaust fans must be installed with at least the clearances

•
recommended by the manufacturer’s instructions, but in all cases the clearance from the
top of the highest burner to a rangehood must be at least 650mm, and to an exhaust fan
must be at least 750mm.

Allow at least 650m clearance between the top of the highest burner and any overhead

•
cabinetry that is made of combustible material.

If the overhead cabinetry is made of non-combustible material such as tiles, the overhead

•
clearance must be at least 450mm.

Side And Back Clearances From Combustibles

The clearance from combustible materials (including walls,
cupboards and curtains) must be at least 200mm as measured
from the far edge of the burners. For each model, this equates
to the following measurements from the edge of the cutout:

to combustible wall

A - back edge to

C - right side edge to

600mm models 700mm models

120 mm 130 mm

165 mm 185 mm

125 mm 170 mm

Side And Back Clearances From NON-Combustibles

If the wall is made of non-combustible material, the required
clearance is only 10mm all around the perimeter of the
cooktop. For each model, this equates to the following
measurements from the edge of the cutout:

C - right side edge to

A combustible wall can be protected with non-combustible
material such as 5mm thick ceramic tiles, as long as this
protection is at least 150mm high, and extends for the full width
and depth of the cooktop.
