CLEARANCES:
Installation clearances and protection of combustible surfaces shall comply with the
current local regulations e.g. AG 601 (AS 5601) - Gas Installations code.
This cooktop has been designed and constructed in accordance with the following
codes and specifications:
AGA101 (AS 4551) Approval Requirements for Domestic Gas cooking appliances
AS/NZS 60335-1 General Requirements for Domestic electrical appliances
AS/NZS 60335-2-6 Particular Requirements for Domestic electrical cooking appliances
AS/NSZ 1044 Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements.

6
The installation shall comply with the dimensions in Figures 1 and 2, bearing in mind
that:
■A minimum clearance of 20 mm has to be kept between the bottom of the
cooking hob and the top of an appliance or a shelf. To ensure this clearance
mount the spacers, supplied with the appliance, as shown in the figure below.
■A partition between the base of the hob and the cupboard below should be
fitted 100 mm below the workbench surface if the cupboard is to be used
for storage.
■Overhead clearances - In no case shall the clearance between the highest
part of the hob and a range hood be less than 600 mm, or for an overhead
exhaust fan, 750 mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less
than 600 mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full
width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with local regula-
tions in force. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be less
than 450 mm.
■Side clearances - Where the dimension from the periphery of the nearest
burner to any vertical combustible surface is less than 200 mm, the surface shall
be protected in accordance with with local regulations in force to a height of
not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of
the cooking surface area.
Where the dimensions from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical
combustible surface is less than 200mm, the horizontal surface shall be greater
than 10 mm below the surface of the hob, or the horizontal surface require-
ment above.
■Protection of combustible surfaces - Local regulations in force specify that
where required protection shall ensure that the surface temperature of the com-
bustible surface does not exceed 65 °C above ambient. The fixing of 5 mm
thick ceramic tiles to the surface or attaching fire resistant material to the surface
and covering with sheet metal with minimum thickness of 0.4mm should be
satisfactory.

COOKING HINTS FOR GAS HOBS
Burners Pan diameter
Auxiliary *12 - 14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 - 20 cm
Triple ring 24 - 28 cm
Wok max 36 cm
The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy
required.
For optimum efficiency use a wok or pan no smaller than 230mm diameter.
Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight
of the pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which
are offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be
accidentally knocked.
When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all
controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Cleaning and Maintenance
GENERAL TIPS
■Before cleaning the hob switch it off and wait for it to cool down.
■Clean with a cloth, hot water and soap or liquid detergent.
■Do not use products which are abrasive, corrosive or chlorine based.
■Do not use steel pads.
■Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on
the hob.
ENAMELLED PARTS
■All the enamelled parts must be washed only with a sponge with soapy
water or other non-abrasive products.
■Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
STAINLESS STEEL HOB
■Clean with special products which are available on the market.
■Dry preferably with a microfibre or soft cloth.
■Note: regular use will cause discolouring around the burners, because of
the high flame temperature.
BURNERS AND GRIDS
■These pieces can be removed and washed with suitable products.
■After cleaning burners and spreaders dry them well and replace them
correctly.
CONTROL KNOB
■The control knobs may be removed for cleaning but care should be taken
not to damage the seal.

Figure 16 Figure 17
CORRECT POSITIONING OF THE BURNERS
■It is very important to check that spreader Fand cap Cof the burner (see
Figures 16 and 17) are perfectly in place because if they move out of place
serious problems could arise.
■Make sure that electrode S(Fig. 16) is kept clean so that the sparks always
strike.
■Model DEGH60 only: make sure that probe “T” (fig. 16) next to each burner
is kept clean to ensure correct operation of the safety valves.
■Both the probe and ignition plug must be very carefully cleaned.
■Note: To avoid damage to the electric ignition do not use it when the
burners are not in place.
