Installation of the cooker
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material. During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of
the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) The appliance can be placed in a kitchen, dining room
or bedsit, but not in a bathroom.
b) All furniture around the appliance must be placed at
least 200 mm from the top of the cooker, should the
surface of the appliance be higher than the worktop of
this furniture. Curtains should not be placed behind
the cooker or less than 200 mm away from the sides
of the appliance.
c) Any hoods must be installed according to the require-
ments in the installation manual for the hoods them-
selves.
d) If the cooker is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the
latter must be situated at a minimum of 420 mm above
the hob. The minimum distance between the worktop
and kitchen units made of combustible material is 700
mm (Fig. A).
e) The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the
cooker must be made of non-flammable materials.
f) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be
attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the
appliance.
Note: some models can have their gas connection
inverted. It is important to make sure the safety chain
is always situated on the side which corresponds to
the hose holder (Fig. B).

Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a
corgi registered installer. During installation of this product
it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply
from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent
removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the
gas mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to
the prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is
ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”. On
some models the gas supply can be connected on the left
or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection,
reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap
and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). In
the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure
regulators that conform to the regulation in force. The gas
supply must be connected to the left of the appliance. Be
sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of the
cooker touching hot parts.
