Hotpoint Ariston TQ 751 K GH/HA Operating Instructions Manual page 13

! Use the hooks contained in the "accessory pack".
• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel
must be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum
distance of 20 mm from the lower part of the hob.
Ventilation
To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be
removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of
wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560
mm (see diagrams).
! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a cooling
ventilation system.
Electrical connection
Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to
operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated
on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The
earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is
to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of
the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical
safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains
Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the
data plate.
The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an
omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm
installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker
must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current
electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the
circuit-breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with
surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.
! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has
been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which
is indicated on the data plate.
• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data
plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket
is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace
it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and
the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised
technicians only (see Assistance).
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures
not be observed.
gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas
cylinder in compliance with current national regulations. Before carrying
out the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas
supply you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions
indicated in the paragraph "Adapting to different types of gas."
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which
complies with current national regulations.
! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values
indicated in Table 1 ("Burner and nozzle specifications"). This will ensure
the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining
efficient energy consumption.
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as
not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply
ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal
must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with
appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical
male attachment.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded
attachment
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male
attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000
mm when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make
sure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and
is not compressed.
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe fittings for
leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated
on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner
nozzles should be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them
with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 "Burner and nozzle
characteristics").
In the case of the Mini WOK burner, use a
spanner with a 7 mm opening to unscrew
the nozzle (see figure).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in the reverse
order.
