Installation of appliance Note: Wear protective gloves to fit the hob.

Caution!

If necessary to adjust or install the elbow, it is allowed only torque wrench with 9 ± 1N.m and work on the Black nut of manifold instead of on the elbow.

(1) Adjusting the direction of elbow

After loosening the elbow, adjust the elbow interface to the required direction as required, and keep the hexagonal head of the elbow motionless with a wrench. Use a 9 ± 1N.m torque wrench to tighten the black bolt of the gas inlet pipe assembly.

Ensure that the torque of the wrench is within the required range to prevent elbow breakage or damage caused by excessive force.

After the installation is tightened, check whether the parts are in good condition and test the air tightness to ensure the tightness of the installation. The installer is responsible for the results of the process.

(2) Installing the gas hob

This appliance should be installed by a registered Gas Safe Engineer!

Gas connection

The gas connection must be located in position where the stop tap is accessible. The end of the inlet connection point of the gas hob has a 1/2 thread that allows for:

A fixed connection
- Connection using a flexible pipe (L min. 1 m - max. 3 m)

The watertight seal supplied must be inserted between the manifold outlet and the gas supply.

You must prevent the pipe from coming into contact with moving parts of the kitchen unit (for example, a drawer) and prevent access to any spaces which might become obstructed.

Danger of leaks!

If any connection is handled, check the seal.

The manufacturer is not liable for any connection leaking, after being handled.

• The law stipulates that all gas appliances must be installed by competent persons in accordance with the Gas Safety Installation and Use Regulations.
