Gas connection
For any gas work in the UK always
use a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Connection to the gas supply, or
conversion to a different gas type,
may only be undertaken by an ap-
proved and registered gas installer.
The installer is responsible for ensur-
ing that the appliance functions cor-
rectly when installed.
The gas connection must be in-
stalled so that connection can be
made either from inside or outside
the kitchen unit. The isolating valve
must be easily accessible and visible
(by opening the kitchen door if ne-
cessary).
Check with your local gas supplier
about the type of gas its calorific
value and compare this information
with the type of gas quoted on the
appliance's data plate.
This hob is not connected to an ex-
haust flue.
When installing and connecting the
appliance please observe all relevant
installation instructions and ensure it
has adequate ventilation once in-
stalled.

Connection to the gas supply must
be carried out in strict accordance
with local and national safety regula-
tions (e.g. Gas Safe in the UK). Every
appliance should have its own easily
accessible isolating valve and test
point.
Any special local conditions relating
to gas installations as well as build-
ing regulations must also be ob-
served.
Gas connections, pipes and connec-
tion cables can suffer damage if ex-
posed to heat from the hob.
After installation make sure that
neither the gas pipe nor the mains
cable can come into contact with hot
parts of the appliance and that the
gas pipe and connections on the hob
cannot come into contact with hot
gas exhaust.
Flexible gas pipes (in countries
where permitted) can be damaged
by incorrect routing.
Attach flexible gas pipes in such a
way so that they do not come into
contact with any moving kitchen
parts (e.g. a drawer) and are not ex-
posed to mechanical stress.
The hob must be set for local gas
conditions and the gas connection
must undergo a leakage test.
