Installation

This appliance must be installed by an authorised person in accordance with this instruction manual, AS/NZS 5601.1 – Gas installations (installation and pipe sizing), local gas fitting regulations, local electrical regulations, Building Code of Australia and any other government authority.

GB

! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms.

The following requirements must be observed:

- The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.

- The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2m³/h per kW of installed power.

The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm ² ; the opening must not be vulnerable to any type of blockages.

The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.

Fitting the appliance

Gas inlet is located at the rear left hand side 25mm in from the rear edge.

Overhead clearances—(Measurement A) Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's

relevant instructions. However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the gas cooking appliance and a range hood be less than 600 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm.

Side clearances—(Measurements B, & C) Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, or vertical combustible surface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area. Where the gas cooking appliance is fitted with a 'splashback', protection of the rear wall is not required.

- The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure. Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we recommend you use all the hooks provided.

- Before fastening the cooktop in place, position the seal (supplied) along the perimeter of the countertop, as shown in the figure.

! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a cooling ventilation system.

Electrical connection

Hobs equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate (this is located on the lower part of the appliance). The earth wire in the cable has a green and yellow cover. If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate.

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated

and must comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

- The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

- The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.

- The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.

- The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

This appliance is suitable for connection with rigid pipe or flexible hose. The isolating manual shut-off valve connection point must be accessible when appliance is installed. Natural Gas: the supplied regulator must be fitted to the appliance inlet connection.

! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in Table 1 ("Burner and nozzle specifications"). This will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.

Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)

! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance.

There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

Suitable for connection with a flexible hose assembly. The flexible hose assembly must be certified to AS/NZS 1869 class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter for the total gas consumption, be kept as short as possible (not exceeding 1200mm), must not be in contact with the floor or any hot or sharp surfaces. The hose assembly must not be subject to strain, abrasion, kinking or deformation.

Ensure pipes do not touch any moving parts and are not compressed.

! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.

Checking the tightness of the connection

! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame.

Operation of the appliance must be tested by the installer before leaving. Check all burner flames are blue in colour, stable and completely ignite at both high and low flame settings with no appreciable yellow tipping, carbon deposition, lifting, floating, lighting back or objectionable odour. Test burners individually and in combination.
