Gas connection
This appliance is suitable for use with either a fl exible con-
nection or rigid copper connection. If installing the appliance
with a fl exible connection, the fl exible connection must be
approved to class B or D of AS/NZS1869 as a minimum.
Fit regulator supplied for Natural Gas (if applicable) at rear
of appliance, and as close as practicable to the appliance.
It is recommended that an isolating valve and union be
fi tted, to enable simple disconnection for servicing. These
are to be in an accessible location.
Flexible hose
If a fl exible hose is used, it should be as short as possible
with a maximum length of 1.5 metres;
it should not be bent or kinked;
it should not be in contact with the rear wall of the appli-
ance or in any case with parts which may reach a tem-
perature of 50°C;
it should not come into contact with pointed parts or sharp
corners;
it should be easy to inspect along its entire length in order
to be able to check its condition.
The supply connection point must be accessible with the
appliance installed.
Gas type conversion
If the hob is to be converted for use with a type of gas other
than that for which it was set in the factory (indicated on the
cooktop data plate), the burner injectors must be replaced as
follows:
Remove the pan supports and the burners.
Unscrew the injectors (“A” in fi ugure below) using a 7 mm
socket wrench, and replace them with injectors of suitable
orifi ce diameter, as indicated on the appliance data plate.
Reassemble the parts.
Electrical connection
The electrical supply for the cooktop must be a 240 Volt 50
Hz.
The fuse and electrical wiring of the home/premises must
support the load of the appliance.
The appliance must be earthed. A 3 pin fl exible power cord
is supplied with the appliance to allow the cooktop to be
connected to a properly earthed and rated power socket.
The fl exible cord of the appliance must not be subject to
direct heat and must be positioned after installation of the
appliance so that its temperature does not exceed 75°C.
IMPORTANT If a power socket needs to be installed or
relocated, the work must be done by a licensed electrician.
Installation
If a regulator is required for the new gas type, instal an ap-
proved regulator of appropriate pressure setting and fl ow
capacity.
Replace the gas type label with one suitable for the new
gas type.
Perform the post installation checks as described later in
this manual. In particular, check the turn down setting of
each burner and adjust where necessary.
Fitting the cooktop above an oven
When installing the cooktop above an oven, both the electric-
ity supply cable and the gas pipe or fl exible hose must not
touch hot parts of the oven housing.
When installing above a built-under oven without forced cool-
ing ventilation, suitable air vents should be provided for as
shown in the fi gure (inlet at least 200 cm² from the bottom,
outlet at least 120 cm²
from the top part) to
allow adequate ventila-
tion inside the housing
unit.
Also a wooden panel
“A” should be installed
beneath the hob as in-
sulation, positioning it
at a minimum distance
of 15 mm from the hob
housing
Perform post installation checks and ensure proper and safe operation
before leaving. Test all burners individually and in combination.
