5. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The installation, the adjustments, conversions and maintenance listed in this part must only be
carried out by qualified persons.
The safety and automatic adjustment devices of the appliance may only be modified by an
authorised Belling service agent.
The installation of this gas hob must comply with the standards in force.
This appliance is not connected to a flue for discharge of the combustion products; therefore, it
must be connected in compliance with the above mentioned installation rules. Particular attention
must be paid to the instructions given below for ventilation and aeration.
LOCATION
The cooker may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting room, but not in a room containing a
bath or shower. The hob must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 20m3.
LPG models shall not be installed in a room or internal space below ground level, e.g. in a basement.
PROVISION FOR VENTILATION
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2.
The room must have an opening window or equivalent; some rooms may also require a permanent vent. If
the room has a volume between 5 and 10 m3, it will require an air vent of 50 cm2effective area unless it has
a door which opens directly to outside. If the room has a volume of less than 5 m3, it will require an air vent
of 100 cm2effective area (fig.1). If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, BS 5440: Part 2
should be consulted to determine air vent requirements.
NOTE: The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a mechanical ventilation device (fig. 2).
In particular, when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a mechanical
ventilation device is not operating (fig. 3).

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Remove all packaging before use and check to make sure that the appliance is in perfect condition. If you
have any doubts do not use the appliance and call your supplier.
Some parts on the appliance are protected by a plastic film. This protective film must be removed
before the appliance is used. We recommend carefully slitting the plastic film along the edges with a
sharp knife or pin.
The packaging materials should carefully discarded and not left within easy reach of children as
they are a potential safety hazard.
INSTALLING AND FIXING THE HOB
Your hob can be fitted to any worktop with a thickness of 30 to 40 mm.
No overhanging surface or cooker hood should be closer to the hotplate than 750 mm (29 1/2"). Fix in position
in accordance with fig. 4. If fitting a 600 mm bridging unit above the hob unit, the sides of adjacent cabinets
may be lower than 750 mm, down to 336 mm depending on the cabinets fitted, provided that they are
resistant to heat and steam.
The hob has a special seal which prevents liquid from entering the cabinet. Follow these instructions in order
to correctly apply this seal:
- Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself.
- Turn over the hob and correctly position seal “E” (fig. 5) under the edge of the hob itself, so that the outer
part of the seal itself perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob. The ends of the strips must fit together
without overlapping.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the hob, pressing it firmly in place.
- Remove the strip of protective paper from the seal. Insert the hooks “S” into their relative housings “H” on
the hob and place into the prepared hole in the cabinet. Lock in place with the relative fixing screws “F”
(see fig. 6).
