CLEARANCES:
Installation clearances and protection of combustible surfaces shall comply with the
current local regulations e.g. AG 601 (AS 5601) - Gas Installations code.
Important note:
This appliance shall not be used as a space heater, especially if installed in marine
craft or caravans.
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.

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.
■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.

GAS SUPPLY:
■The connection must be executed by an authorised person according to the relevant
standards.
■Before connecting the appliance to the gas main, mount the brass conical adaptor
onto the gas inlet pipe, upon which the gasket has been placed (figures 6a-6b).
Conical adaptor and gasket are supplied with the appliance (packed with conversion
kit for use with Natural gas or Universal LPG).
■This appliance is suitable for use with Natural Gas or Universal LPG. (Check the “gas
type” sticker attached to the appliance).
■For Natural Gas models the gas supply is connected to the pressure regulator which is
supplied with the appliance (fig. 6a). Model DEGH70W: adjust the regulator to obtain
a test point pressure of 1 kPa with the two semi-rapid (SR) burners operating at the maxi-
mum. Model DEGH70WF: adjust the regulator to obtain a test point pressure of 1 kPa
with the Triple-ring (TR) burner operating at the maximum.
■For Universal LPG models the gas supply is connected to the test point adaptor
which is supplied with the appliance (fig. 6b) and ensure that the supply pressure is
regulated to 2.75 kPa.
■Do NOT force the ”elbow“ rotation prior to loosening nut.
■Do NOT over tighten the nut at the ”elbow“.
