Gas Connection - Rangemaster Toledo FS Hob User Manual

We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused
by normal use of the hotplate to any material that de-
laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C
above room temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted
immediately behind the hotplate.
NOTE When the Freestyle ovens are situated under the
hob, additional brackets should be fixed to the rear wall
to support the rear edge of the worktop. Two right-angle
brackets are supplied for this purpose. Alternatively, a
wooden baton could be fixed to the wall under the rear
edge.
The front edge will be supported by the ovens once they
are in place. It is important that the hob is placed directly
above the ovens to ensure this. See diagram.
