Installing the appliance
oCut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the illustration
above.
oIMPORTANT: You must have a gap of at least 25 mm between
the underneath of the appliance and any surface that is below it.
oCarefully turn the hob upside down and place it on a cushioned
mat.
oApply the sealing strip (A) provided around the edge of the
appliance.
14

oThe protective covering must be removed from both sides.
oDo not leave a gap in the sealing agent or overlap the thickness.
oIMPORTANT: Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance
against the aperture. This will make it difficult to remove the hob
from the aperture in future if it needs to be serviced.
(A) Sealing strip
(B) Clamp
(C) Screw
oPlace the clamp (B) over the holes that match the size of the
screws. There are one set of screw holes in each corner of the
hob. Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the clamp (B) so that
the clamp is attached to the hob, but so that you can still adjust
the position of it.
oCarefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the
aperture hole that you have cut out.
oOn the underneath of the hob, adjust the clamps into a position
that is suitable for your worktop. Then fully tighten the screws

Ventilation requirements
oThe room containing the hob should have an air supply in
accordance with the current edition of BS 5440: Part 2:
oThe room must have opening windows or equivalent; some
rooms may also require a permanent vent.
oIf the room has a volume between 5 and 10m³, it will require an
air vent of 50cm² (effective area). Unless it has a door which
opens directly to the outside.
oIf the room has a volume of less than 5m³, it will require an air
vent of 100cm² (effective area).
oIf it is installed in a room with a volume that exceeds 11m³, then
no air vent is required.
oIf there are any other fuel burning appliances in the same room
the current edition of BS 5440: Part 2: should be consulted to
determine air vent requirements.
oEnsure that the room containing the hob is well ventilated, keep
natural ventilation holes or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical cooker hood).
oProlonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional
ventilation, either by the opening of a window, or by increasing
the level of the mechanical ventilation device (where present).
oThis hob is not fitted with a device for discharging the products
of combustion. Ensure that the ventilation rules and regulations
are followed.
oThe walls behind and near the hob should be resistant to heat,
steam and condensation.

oRemember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion
must never be less than 2m³/h for each kW of power (see total
power in kW on the appliance rating plate).
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
IMPORTANT: The appliance MUST be connected to the gas
supply by use of a ½ BSP Elbow, seal, copper pipe and an
isolation tap fitted in an easily accessible position.
oIt is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent

Installation and Use Regulations.
oIt is in your interest and that of safety to ensure compliance with
the law.
oThe cooker must also be installed in accordance with
the current edition of BS 6172. Failure to install the hob correctly
could invalidate the warranty, liability claims and lead to
prosecution.
oPut the gas seal into the elbow.
oFully tighten the elbow and seal onto the gas rail.
oThe elbow MUST be pointing in a downwards direction.
oGas pressure may be checked on a semi-rapid hob burner.
Remove the appropriate injector and attach a test nipple. Light
the other burners and observe that the gas pressure complies
with the gas standards in force.
oIMPORTANT: On completion carry out a gas soundness
test.
17

Gas adjustment (Conversion to LPG)
All work must be carried out by an Authorised

length of about 3 – 4 mm.
oFor butane/propane gas, the adjusting screw must be tightly
screwed in.
oRefit the control knob.
oMake sure that the flame does not go out by quickly turning
from maximum flow to minimum flow. If it does then remove
the control knob and make further adjustments to the gas
flow, testing it again once the adjustment has been made.

Gas tap maintenance
These maintenance operations MUST ONLY be carried
out by an Authorised Service Agent.
IMPORTANT: Before carrying out any maintenance operations,
disconnect the appliance from the gas and electricity supplies.
If a gas tap becomes stiff to operate, then you should proceed as
follows:
oRemove the control knobs, pan supports, burners, hob fixing
screws and clamps.
oRemove the hob from the worktop and remove any underside
protective covers.
oDisconnect the fixings holding the tap to the fascia panel and
separate the assembly. Then clean the cone and seating, with
a cloth dampened with solvent.
oLightly smear the cone with high temperature grease,
reassemble into position and rotate a few times.
oRemove the cone again and remove any excess grease,
making sure that the gas ducts are not obstructed with
grease.
oCarefully reassemble the components and perform a gas
soundness test.
If it becomes necessary to replace a gas tap, then you should proceed
as follows:
oRemove the control knobs, pan supports, burners, hob fixing
screws and clamps.
oRemove the hob from the worktop and remove any underside
protective covers.
oDisconnect the fixings holding the tap to the fascia panel and
separate the assembly.
oDisconnect the gas pipe from the gas tap, and then
disassemble them from the gas rail by removing the fixing
screws.
