When The Hob Is First Installed; Gas Connection - Jocel JP4GV011091 Instruction Manual

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: The hob must be installed by a competent person to the relevant Gas
Standards. Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which
were put on in the factory.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a competent person. The manufacturer will not
accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions
incorporated in this book be ignored.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the GJ 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so
that the washer is fitted between the components as shown in the diagram. Screw the
parts together without using excessive force.
Important: It is advisable to isolate the appliance from the
piece of furniture below with a separator, leaving a
depression space of at least 10mm. If the hob is going to
be installed on the top of an oven, precautions must be
taken to guarantee an installation in accordance with
current accident prevention standards. Pay particular
attention to the position of the electric cable and gas pipe,
they must not touch any hot parts of the oven. Moreover, if
the hob is going to be installed on the top of a built in oven
without forced cooling ventilation, proper air vents must be
installed to guaranty and adequate ventilation, with an lower air entering and an higher air
exiting.

GAS CONNECTION

Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or
copper. The connection should be suitable for connecting to RC 1/2 (1/2 BSP male
thread). When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test
is carried out on the hob and installation. Ensure that the main connection pipe does not
exert any strain on the hob. When a flexible tube is used, keep that it cannot contact with a
moveable part of the housing unit and does not pass through any space susceptible of
becoming congested.
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread,
fitted to the hob connecting pipe. Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage
of gas.
