A= 6 ×T where A = the minimum free ventilation area (cm2) T = the total gas consumption of all appliances (MJ/h) These requirements shall apply to all subsequent rooms until a room is ventilated to outside, in accordance with the previous section, or the total input of the appliances does not exceed 3 MJ/h for each cubic metre of the total volume of the enclosure and rooms. The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation opening shall be 6 mm. NOTE: The two openings may be combined provided that the top and bottom of the opening reach the limits set by this Clause.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C. Adjacent cabinetry The location of connection points is given in the table on page 5 . For troublefree operation of appliances installed in housing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.4 should be observed. It is recommended that the adjacent kitchen surfaces should be capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C. Also, the following must be observed:
• The appliance should be installed next to cabinetry which is 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 of the cooker, the back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.
• Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 200 mm from the edge of the hob itself.
• If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob.
• Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood must be at least 420 mm above the hob. The following minimum clearances to combustible materials must be observed:

• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel must be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 mm from the lower part of the hob. Ventilation To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

Check The Gas Type ! Before installation, check that the gas type (natural gas or Universal LPG) of the cooker is suitable for the gas type available to the installation. It is extremely dangerous to use the wrong gas type with any appliance, as fire or serious injury can result. This cooker is supplied from the factory already set for Natural Gas. To convert the cooker to LPG (or back to Natural Gas from LPG), follow the directions later in this section. 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 fitted, to enable simple disconnection for servicing. These are to be in an accessible location. ! 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.

Pipe or Hose Connection This appliance is suitable for use with either a flexible connection or rigid copper connection. Either a rigid metal pipe with fittings in compliance with the standards in force must be used for connecting to the nipple union (threaded ½”G male fitting) situated at the rear of the appliance to the right (fig.8), or an approved flexible hose of class B or D. Should it be necessary to turn the fitting, the gasket (supplied with the appliance) must be replaced. If a flexible hose is used, it should be as short as possible with a maximum length of 1.2 metres;

• the flexible connection must be approved to class B or D of AS/NZS1869 as a minimum.
• it should not be bent, kinked or compressed;
• it should not be in contact with the rear wall of the appliance or in any case with parts which may reach a temperature of 50°C;

• it should not be subject to any pulling or twisting forces;
• 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.
• The inner diameters of the pipe are as follows: 8 mm for LPG; 13 mm for Natural Gas. Checking the tightness of the connection Upon completion of installation, check the gas circuit, the internal connections and the taps for leaks using a soapy solution (never a flame). Also check that the connecting pipe cannot come into contact with moving parts which could damage or crush it. Make sure that the natural gas pipe is adequate for a sufficient supply to the appliance when all the burners are lit Duplicate Data Plate Where the data plate is obscured by cabinetry when the cooker is in the installed position, place a duplicate data plate on a surface of the cabinetry adjacent to the cooker. Adapting to different types of gas To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them

with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in the reverse order.

4. Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one

indicating the new type of gas used. Sticker are available from any of our Service Centres. Replacing the Triple ring burner nozzles

1. Remove the pan supports and lift the burners out of their housing. The

burner consists of two separate parts (see pictures).

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner. Replace the nozzles

with models that are configured for use with the new type of gas (see Table 1). The two nozzles have the same hole diameter.

3. Replace all the components by completing the above operations in reverse

• Adjusting the burners’ primary air : Does not require adjusting.
• Setting the burners to minimum:

1. Turn the tap to the low flame position;

2. Remove the knob and adjust the adjustment

screw, which is positioned in or next to the tap pin, until the flame is small but steady.

3. Having adjusted the flame to the required low setting, while the burner is

alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several times, checking that the flame does not go out.

4. Some appliances have a safety device (thermocouple) fitted. If the device

fails to work when the burners are set to the low flame setting, increase this low flame setting using the adjusting screw.

5. Once the adjustment has been made, replace the seals on the by-passes

using sealing wax or a similar substance. ! If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation screw must be fastened as tightly as possible. ! Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. Stickers are available from any of our Service Centres. ! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe (in order to comply with current national regulations). Post Installation Checks Perform post installation checks and ensure proper and safe operation before leaving. Test all burners individually and in combination. Leak Check

• Ensure all gas control knobs are in the Off position.
• Ensure the gas supply is switched on.
• Spray a solution of soapy water onto all gas joints as well as the full length of any flexible hoses. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE A NAKED FLAME IN CHECKING FOR LEAKS. If bubbles appear anywhere, turn the gas supply off, check all connections and retest. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, contact place of purchase or their appointed agent for service. Flame check Turn each burner on, and ensure that the flame is blue with minimal yellow tipping. If there is significant yellow tipping, flame lift off or excessive noise, check pressure and adjust at the regulator if necessary. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, contact place of purchase or their appointed agent for service.

Igniter operation Check that the igniter for each burner successfully ignites the gas. If an igniter fails to work, first remove the plug from the electrical power outlet, and then check that all the electrical connections are in place. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, contact place of purchase or their appointed agent for service. Low flame setting Check the low flame setting for each hob burner to ensure that the minimum flame will not be extinguished by air draughts.

• Turn the control until it engages in the minimum position.
• Ensure the flame is stable and will not be extinguished by air draughts. To adjust the minimum flame: Follow the procedure described in the gas conversion instruction.

Start-up and use ! The position of the corresponding gas burner is shown on every knob. Gas burners Each burner can be adjusted to one of the following settings using the corresponding control knob:

! This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. General safety Off Maximum Minimum To light one of the burners, hold a lit match or lighter near the burner and, at the same time, press down and turn the corresponding knob anti-clockwise to the maximum setting. Since the burner is fitted with a safety device, the knob should be pressed for approximately 2-3 seconds to allow the automatic device keeping the flame alight to heat up. When using models with an ignition button, light the desired burner pressing down the corresponding knob as far as possible and turning it anticlockwise towards the maximum setting. ! If a flame is accidentally extinguished, turn off the control knob and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to relight it. To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a clockwise direction until it stops (when reaches the “●” position). Practical advice on using the burners To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

• Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
• When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum. Burner

To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the section entitled, “Burner and Nozzle Specifications”.

• For maximum stability, always make sure that the pan supports are correctly fitted and that each pan is placed centrally over the burner.
• Pan handles should be positioned in line with one of the support bars on the pan support grid.
• Pan handle should be positioned so not to protrude beyond the front edge of the hob. The more variable aspect in terms of pan stability can often be the pan itself, (or the positioning of that pan during use). Well balanced pans, with flat bases that are placed centrally over the burner, with the pan handles aligned with one of the support fingers obviously offer the greatest stability.

• This is a class 3 built-in appliance.
• Gas appliances require regular air exchange to maintain efficient operation. When installing the hob, follow the instructions provided in the paragraph on “Positioning” the appliance.
