GAS CONNECTIONS
LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Check Gas Type and specifications plate placed on the bottom face of the unit. All gas fitting work, service
and repairs can only be performed by an authorized person in accordance with the current edition of
AS5601 and local gas regulations. Failure to comply with this condition will render the warranty invalid.
Always unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operations or repairs. The walls of the
units must not be higher than work top and must be capable of resisting temperatures of 75 above
temperature. Do not install the appliance near flammable materials (eg. curtains). The final act of any
installation or gas type conversion must be the full testing of this appliance, which includes leak testing,
ignition of each burner and the functionality of the burners separately and together.
INSTALLATION
The appliance is predisposed and adjusted to operate with the gas indicated on
the specifications plate (normally NG) applied onto the appliance. Please see gas
rates summary information on the previous page.
If the appliance must be operated with a gas different than that indicated on the
plate, it is necessary to execute the following operations:
-Gas connection including regulator (NG) or test point nipple adaptor (LPG) to be
changed.
-Replacement of the injectors.
-New gas label attached stating gas type.
-Adjustment of minimum setting.
GAS CONNECTION
The connection must be made by a qualified gas fitter according to the relevant standard. If a flexible hose
is used, take care that the hose cannot be trapped or kinked by doors, drawers etc, and that it is restrained
from accidental contact to any hot surfaces, including the flue outlet of an underbench oven. The gas
connection is positioned 205mm from the front and 35mm from the left hand side.
The fitting (fig. 6.1) is made up of:
1 elbow fitting “A”
1 gaskets “F”
1 LPG test point nipple adaptor “B”
The hob must be installed in a room with adequate ventilation (see installation section).
N.G.:
Fit the supplied NG regulator to the elbow fitting “A” using two spanners (note orientation of the NG
regulator gas flow).
Connect the other side of the NG regulator to the gas inlet pipe with the correct ½” BSPT thread connector
using two spanners.
L.P.G.:
Connect the LPG test point nipple adaptor “B” to the cooking hob inlet “A” and then connect to the gas
inlet pipe with the correct ½” BSPT thread connector (or using the appropriate adaptor) using two
spanners. Connect the other end of the pipe to the cylinder pressure regulator.

EASY DECISION
ORIENTATION OF THE ELBOW
The appliance is supplied with a gas connection oriented towards the centre of
the cooking hob. The connection to the gas supply must be effected only from
this side or in vertical position by turning the elbow downwards. To turn the
elbow, follow these operations:
Loosen the nut
Turn the elbow
Lock the nut
Make sure that there are no leakages by testing with a soapy solution and brush.
IMPORTANT:
Never attempt to turn the elbow “A” without having first slackened off the relative lock nipple.
The seal “F” (fig. 6.1) seals the gas connection. It is recommended that it be replaced when it begins to
show even the slightest deformation or imperfection.
After connecting to the gas supply, check that the couplings are correctly sealed, using soapy solution and a
brush, but never a naked flame.
OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED WHEN CONVERTING GAS TYPES
This operation can only be performed by an authorized person.
Remove the gratings and the burner covers;
Using a spanner, replace the nozzle injectors “J” (Fig.20) with either Natural Gas sized injectors or LPG sized
injectors.
REGULATING THE BURNER MINIMUM SETTING
When switching from one type of gas to another, the minimum flow rate must also be correct. The flame
should not go out even when passing suddenly from maximum to minimum flame. To regulate the flame
follow the instructions below:
Light the burner
Set the gas valve to minimum
On gas valves provided with adjustment screw in the centre of the shaft (fig.21)
Using a screwdriver with max. diameter 3mm, turn the screw inside the tap until the correct setting is
obtained.
On gas valves provided with adjustment screw on the valve body (fig.22):
Turn the screw “A” to the correct setting with a screwdriver.

EASY DECISION
LUBRICATION OF THE GAS TAPS
This can only be performed by an authorized person. It may be required if the gas taps become stiff and
difficult to turn.
LEAK TESTING
1. Make sure gas control knobs are Off and turn the cylinder valve On.
2. Check for leaking joints by brushing with solution of half-liquid detergent and half water. If a leak is
present, bubbles will appear (or you may hear a hissing sound). Retightening connections can
generally repair a leaking joint. You must also check the gas hose and connection at the gas cylinder.
If a leak cannot be resolved, do not proceed.
DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS.
IF A LEAK PERSISTS CALL AN AUTHORISED GAS FITTER.
NOTE: If an appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly, contact Everdure service department.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Installation is only permitted by an authorized person, and carried out according to instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Incorrect installation might cause harm and damage which the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility. The electrical connection can be found 40mm in from the rear edge and 270mm from the left
hand side (looking from the front).
INSTALLATION
This cooktop must be connected to a 220-240V 50Hz power supply. It is earthed via the cord.
Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on
the appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply
voltage, and the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the hob’s power rating (also indicated
on the identification plate);
The power point must be connected to a suitable earth wiring, in conformity to current safety regulations.
Ensure that the power supply is within 900mm of the cooktop. The power supply cord must not touch
against any hot surfaces and must be placed so that its temperature does not exceed 75 degrees C at any
point along its length.
The colours of the wires in the hob power cable may not correspond with the colours marked on the
terminals of your electrical plug .The plug should in any case be wired as follows:
—connect the green/yellow wire to the terminal marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured
green/yellow;
—connect the blue wire to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black;
—connect the brown wire to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.

EASY DECISION
After having installed the appliance, the power switch or power plug must always be in an accessible
position.
Electrical connection diagram
N.B For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power points as
these may overheat and catch fire.
In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring system or if the power
plug is not suitable for the type of power point available, it is required that a qualified technician be called
to carry out substitution.
The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables on the power point match
the appliance’s power rating.
INSTALLATION
Note: These tops are designed to be fitted into kitchen fixtures measuring 600 mm in depth.
In order to install the cooker top into the kitchen fixture, a hole with the dimensions shown on the cutting
size board has to be made, keeping in consideration the following:
Within the fixture, between the bottom side of the cooker top and the upper surface of any other appliance
or internal shelf there must be a clearance of at least 30 mm;
Keep at least 200mm from the periphery of the burners to any side or rear wall with combustible surfaces or
keep the appliance sides at least 50mm from walls with non-combustible surfaces.
There must be a distance of at least 650 mm between the hob and any extractor hood or wall cupboard
positioned immediately above it.
It is essential to install a heat baffle between the bottom of the hob and the underlying unit.
The duplicate data plate should be fixed in an accessible position close to the appliance (inside face of
cupboard door, side of cabinet etc).
Note: Keep a safe distance away from combustible constructions.
After installation, all burners should be tested individually and together to ensure correct operation.

EASY DECISION
INSTALLATION IN KITCHEN CABINET WITH DOOR
The fixture has to be made according to specific requirements in order
to prevent the gas burners from going out, even when the flame is
turned down to minimum, due to pressure changes while opening or
closing the cupboard doors.
When the hob is installed above a cupboard with doors, a separate
panel must be installed underneath it. Leave a gap of at least 20 mm
clearance between the cooker top and the surface of the panel (fig.13),
which must be easily removable to allow sufficient access for any
servicing procedures. NOTE: When installing above a cupboard, a
dividing shelf (as above) must be installed. If installed above an under-
bench oven, this is not required. Installation of an oven without a
cooking fan underneath the hob is forbidden.
PREPARING & PLACING THE HOB FOR INSTALLATION
Every cooker top is provided with a set of tabs
for fitting to the unit with thickness from 3 to 4
cm and a seal with adhesive on one side.
-Remove burners and grids.
-Turn the cooker top over and rest the top
face on a cloth.
-Apply the self-adhesive seal “G” as illustrated
in (fig.14).
-Slot the cooker top into the unit and position.
-Position the cooker top in the recess and
secure by means of the brackets as shown in
fig.15 (for 3 or 4 cm thick work top).
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the products of combustion of
the gas appliance to be discharged (fig.16).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may be used, attached to the external wall or the ceiling above the
cooktop. The fan should have a capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate of 3-5 times the total volume of the
kitchen (fig.17).

EASY DECISION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IGNITING THE BURNERS
The knob on your gas cooktop controls both ignition and the safety device. Proceed as follows to ignite the
burners:
Press down & turn the knob for the burner you would like to use. Keep the knob strongly pressed in for
approximately 1 second to allow the ignitor to light the gas, and allow the thermocouple to heat up.
Release the knob after approximately 1 second. The flame can be adjusted by turning the knob anti
clockwise until it reaches the desired size. Only turn the knob between the High and Low settings, otherwise
the burner will turn off.
To turn off the burner, push down & rotate the knob around to the ‘Off’ position.
Note: If the burner does not light within 12-15 seconds, turn the control knob back to the ‘Off’ position, and
attempt re-ignition after 1 minute. This will allow any unburned gas to escape from the burner area.
If the burner does not light, firstly check that the cooktop is connected to electricity. If connected ensure
that the gas is turned on and that the electrodes are sparking.
Also ensure that all burner caps are placed correctly on the burner rings.
USING THE BURNERS
For greater efficiency and less gas consumption, use pots and pans with the right diameters for the burners.
Avoid having flames extending out from underneath the pans (refer to the table in the appliance details
section for recommended sizing).
When cooking, always try to use a pot or pan with a flat base. Pots & pans with an uneven or curved base
will cause the burner to run inefficiently and will take longer to cook your food.
Always heat the water to boiling point before placing food items to be cooked. After the water has boiled,
the heat setting can be dropped to maintain the desired cooking temperature. This will speed up the
cooking time and is more efficient.
In the event of a power outage, your gas cooktop can still be used. Press & turn the desired knob to the
‘High’ position and light with a match. Depress the knob after approx 3 seconds and continue to operate
the burner.
Large utensils exceeding the recommended size can cause excessive heat to reflect back onto the
appliance, potentially damaging the appliance and causing a temperature hazard.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY VALVES
This safety device automatically closes the gas valve if there is any disruption of the gas flow to the
appliance, or if the gas flame goes out.
CLEANING & STORAGE
CLEANING
Please follow the maintenance & cleaning guidelines below to keep your Everdure cooktop in good working
order.
The cooktop should be cleaned regularly with all stains and boil overs being cleaned up. Do not allow stains
and boil overs to become burnt onto the appliance.
Please ensure the cooktop is cold when cleaning, to avoid burns from hot components.
Try to minimise the use of specialized cleaning products. Attempt to clean with soapy water and a sponge.
If this is not successful, a mild cleaner can be used.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourer type pads to clean the appliance. These can damage the Stainless
Steel finish.
