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 filled 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 specified materials.
Clearances: Ensure there is sufficient room to install the cooktop with all required clearances as specified 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 flexible 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:

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:

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.
