Edition).
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following British Standards Codes
Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440, Part 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 m
3
. If it is installed in a room of volume less than 5 m

an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm

is required. If it is installed in a room of volume between 5 m
3
and
10 m
3
an air vent of effective area of 50 cm
2
is required, while if the volume
exceeds 11 m
3
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 between 5 m
3
and 11 m
3
.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2
Current Edition, should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent

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 the edges of the hob that
are to be near either a side or rear wall have a minimum distance of 55 mm.
between the edge of the hob and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above 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. A minimum distance of 100 mm. must be left between the side edges
of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or walls.
Installation
IMPORTANT
This hob must be installed by qualified
personnel to the relevant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be
ignored.
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 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
installation. Ensure that the main connection pipe does
not exert any strain on the hob.
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.
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.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 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.
