INSTALLATION
(to be read together with the enclosed national
regulations references)
Technical information for the Installer
If there is no oven under the hob (any oven installed
must be manufactured by Whirlpool and equipped with
a cooling system), insert a separator panel at a distance
of at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob.
Note: Before installation, make sure the local gas
supply conditions (gas type and pressure) and hob
settings are compatible with those indicated on the
Product Sheet and on the dataplate
The outer surfaces of the cabinets or appliances next to the
•
hob must be heat resistant (thermal protection "Y")
according to national standards.
•
Installation must comply with current local regulations.
•
The air in the room where the hob is installed must be
sufficient for correct combustion of the gas (see the
separate Product Sheet).
The natural flow of air must occur through a suitable opening,
which must be:
- permanent, made on one of the external walls of the room
and communicating with the outside in an area free of
pollution sources;
- constructed to ensure that the openings on the inside and
outside cannot be intentionally or accidentally obstructed;
- protected by a metal grille or net that does not reduce its
working section;
- situated near the floor and positioned so as not to interfere
with the operation of the fume exhaust devices.
- This appliance is not connected to a fume exhaust device.
- Fume exhaust must occur through a suitable hood or fan
installed on the wall or on the window.
Assembly
Important: The power cable and plug must be suitable
for the hob's electrical input and the cable must be long
enough to allow the hob to be removed upwards.
Electrical connection
The electrical connections must comply with local
•
regulations.
The data relevant to the voltage and input are given on the
•
dataplate.
Appliance earthing is compulsory by law.
•
The manufacturer declines any liability for damage or
•
injury caused by failure to comply with the above
regulations.
•
When installing, provide for an omnipolar cut-out
switch with contact opening distance of at least 3
mm.
If necessary, the power cable must only be replaced
•
with one having the same characteristics as the
original supplied by the manufacturer (type H05V2V2-
F - T90°C or H05RR-F). This operation must be carried
out by the After-Sales Service or a qualified technician.

Connection to the gas supply
The gas supply system must comply with local
regulations.
The specific local regulations for some countries are given in
the enclosed National Safety Regulations card.
If no information concerning the required country is given,
please ask your installer for more details.
Connection of the hob to the gas supply or gas cylinder must
be made using a rigid copper or steel pipe with fittings
complying with local regulations, or by means of a continuous-
surface flexible stainless steel tube complying with local
regulations. Fit the gasket (B) in the elbow connection.
The maximum length of the flexible metal tube is 2 m.
FOR BELGIUM ONLY: The elbow connection (A) on the
appliance must be replaced with the one supplied.
Important: If a flexible stainless steel tube is used, it
must be installed in such a way that it cannot touch any
movable part of the cabinet, but passes through a part
free of obstructions and can be inspected along its entire
length.
After connecting to the gas supply, check for leaks with
soapy water.
Important: In case of gradual difficulty in turning the
burners knobs, contact the authorised Service Centre
to replace the tap.
ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
If a different type of gas to that specified on the dataplate and
on the orange sticker at the top of the hob is used, the hob
must be adapted for this new function. The orange sticker
must be removed and glued in the instruction handbook,
which must be kept for the entire service life of the hob.
To replace to injectors, contact the After-Sales Service or
1.
a qualified technician.
Injectors not supplied with the appliance must be ordered
from After-Sales Service.
Connect the hob to the gas shut-off cock with a pipe
2.
suitable for the gas used, in compliance with current
regulations.
Adjust the minimum setting of the taps.
3.
Note: For liquefied gas (G30/G31) the minimum adjustment
screws (by-pass) must be fully screwed down.
Replacing the injectors
(see table in the separate
Product Sheet)
Remove the grates (A).
1.
Remove the burner bodies (B).
2.
Using a suitable wrench (C), unscrew the injector to be
3.
replaced.
Replace it with the injector required for the new type of
4.
gas.
Refit the injector in (D).
5.
Before installing the hob, remember to apply the gas setting
label supplied with the injectors, so that it covers the
information already present
N.B. Do not place the small grates with closed arms on
the WOK burner.
ONLY FOR SE: Injector for town gas (G110-8mbar and
G120-8mbar) are avaiable, if required, from authorized after
sales centers.
ONLY FOR DK: Injector for town gas (G110-8mbar) are

Adjusting minimum setting of gas taps
To ensure correct adjustment of the minimum setting,
1.
remove knob (E) and proceed as follows:
tighten (-) to decrease the height of the flame;
•
loosen (+) to increase the height of the flame;
•
Adjustment must be carried out with the tap in minimum
position (small flame)
.
After adjusting, reinstate the seals with sealing wax or
equivalent material.
2.
The primary air of the burners does not need adjusting.
After adjusting, light the burners and turn the knobs from
max.
to min.
