¡ The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply
with upstream connection of an isolation valve in ac-
cordance with the respectively valid regulations. We
recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior to
the cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop from gas
supply. The valve must be easily accessible at all
times.
¡ Position of the inlet connection
¡ Check whether the local connection conditions (gas
type) are compatible with the unit's setting. The spe-
cifications of this cooktop are stated on the data la-
bel located on the bottom of the cooktop base.
¡ A duplicate data label is supplied for adhesion to an
accessible location near the hotplate if the data la-
bel on the base of the hotplate cannot be accessed
when the hotplate is installed.
Gas connection R 1/2
Fit the seal and the connecting piece R 1/2 to the
1.
gas connection on the appliance.
Fit regulator (N. G.) or a test point (Universal LPG)
2.
directly to the R 1/2 connecting piece.
– Direction of gas flow is indicated on the rear of
the regulator.
– a: Pressure test point.
Connecting the unit to the gas line
The supply connection point shall be accessible with
the appliance installed.
Tip: Make sure that all connections performed are free
of leakage. Use pipe compound or thread sealant,
properly threaded pipes and careful assembly proced-
ure so that there is no cross threading and so on,
which might cause damage or leakage.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for leak-
age on connections performed by the installer or if the
L-tube is moved or twisted.
¡ Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for piping size details.
¡ Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to in-
stallation.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the
main gas line:
¡ Connect with rigid pipe as specified in AS/NZS
5601.1.
¡ Connect with flexible hose. The hose assembly must
comply with AS/NZS 1869, 10 mm ID, class B or D,
no more than 1.2 m long and installed in accord-
ance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
Note:
If installing with a hose assembly:
¡ Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from
accidental contact with the flue outlet of an under-
bench oven.
¡ Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot sur-
faces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other
appliance that may be installed underneath or next
to the hotplate.
¡ The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kink-
ing or permanent deformation.
¡ The hose should be able to be inspected along its
entire length with the cooktop in the installed posi-
tion.
¡ Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be
used and all connections tested for gas leaks.
Before leaving
It should be expressly noted that we cannot accept any
liability for direct or indirect damage caused by wrong
connection, leakage or improper installation.
¡ Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and
water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting
leaks.
¡ Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently
to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners
and ignition.
¡ Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe sta-
bility of the flame for each burner individually and all
together.
¡ Adhere the duplicate data plate to an accessible
location near the hotplate.
¡ When satisfied with the hotplate, instruct the user on
the correct method of operation.
¡ In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after
all checks have been carried out, refer to the author-
ised service provider in your area.
When being repaired, the appliance must always be
disconnected from the mains supply; if required, notify
our customer service.
2.8 Converting the cooktop from Natural
Gas to ULPG
All work involved in installation, setting and adaptation
to a different gas type must be carried out by a li-
censed gas fitter and must comply with current regula-
tions and the conditions laid down by the local gas
company.
Before conversion the cooktop must be disconnected
from the electricity and gas valves must be turned to
the OFF position.
