Important safety requirements
Provision for ventilation
The hob should not be installed in a bedsit room with a volume of less than 20m³. If it is installed in a room of volume less than 5m³
an air vent of effective area of 110cm²is required. If it is installed in a room of volume between 5m³and 10m³, an air vent of effective
area of 50cm² is required, while if the volume exceeds 11m³no air vent is required. However, if the room has a door which opens
directly to the outside no air vent is required even if the volume is between 5m³ and 11m³
the same room, which should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.
Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom, shower room or garage.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that there is a minimum distance of 55 mm between the rear edge of the hob and the
wall.
A minimum distance of 100 mm must be left between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or walls.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob in line with the edges of the hob is 400 mm.
If it is fitted below 400 mm a space of 50 mm must be allowed from the edges of the hob.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted directly above the hob is 700 mm. (See Figure 4*)A cooker hood should be
fitted at a minimum distance of 760mm above the hob.
Warning: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that
the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective
ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
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: When installing the hob above a built-in oven, the oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the case of a joining
cabinet surface, remember to leave a space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back.
When installing on a built-in oven without forced ventilation, ensure that there are air inlets and outlets for ventilating the interior of the
cabinet adequately.
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.
