Provision for ventilation
Detailed recommendations are con-
tained in the following British Standards
Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440,
Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed
sitting room with a volume of less than
20 m³. If it is installed in a room of vol-
ume less than 5 m³ an air vent of effec-
tive area of 100 cm² is required. If it is in-
stalled in a room of volume between 5
m³ and 10 m³ an air vent of effective area
of 50 cm² is required, while if the volume
exceeds 11 m³ no 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 be-
tween 5 m³ and 11 m³.
If there are other fuel burning appliances
in the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Cur-
rent Edition, should be consulted to de-
termine the requisite air vent require-
ments.

of Ireland please refer to the NSAI- Do-
mestic Gas Installation I.S. 813 Current
Editions Table Four.
Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a
kitchen/diner or bed sitting room (with a
volume greater than 20 m³), but not in a
bathroom or shower room.
The minimum distance combustible ma-
terial 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.
For appliances installed in the Republic
of Ireland please refer to NSAI- Domes-
tic Gas Installation I.S 813 Current Edi-
tion Section 7- Permitted Locations of
Appliance.
8.2 Gas Connection
WARNING!
Any gas installation must be car-
ried out by a GAS SAFE REGIS-
TER installer.
Make sure that, once the hob is instal-
led, it is easily accessible for the engi-
neer in the event of a breakdown.
The manufacturer will not accept liability,
should the above instructions or any of
the other safety instructions incorpora-
ted in this instruction booklet be ignor-
ed.
On the end of the shaft, which includes
the G 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment
is fixed so that the washer is fitted be-

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 R 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 instal-
lation.
Make sure that the main connection
pipe does not exert any strain on the
hob.
If you use flexible metal pipes make sure
that they agree to ISO 10380 and ISO
10807 standards. Be careful they do not
come in touch with mobile parts or they
are not squeezed. Also be careful when
the hob is put together with an oven.
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 as-
sembly will cause leakage of gas.
Make sure that the gas supply
pressure of the appliance obeys
the recommended values.
