1.2 SITING
The range can be positioned to within 20mm of a
comb stible wall b t to enable in-sit removal of side
panels for servicing, a clearance of 75mm at rear and
150mm at sides sho ld be allowed. There sho ld be
a minim m vertical clearance of 900mm above top
edge of appliance fl e to any overhanging
comb stible s rface.
Important
If nit is to be installed with matching Falcon 350
appliances, the instr ctions for all nits m st be
cons lted to determine the necessary clearances to
any comb stible rear wall or overlying s rface.
Some nits req ire greater clearance than others.
The largest fig re q oted in individ al instr ctions will
determine that for complete s ite of adjoining nits.
1.3 VENTILATION
Each nit m st be installed on a firm level floor in a
well lit dra ght-free position.
Adeq ate ventilation, whether nat ral or mechanical,
m st be provided to ens re s fficient fresh air for
comb stion and for removal of comb stion prod cts.
Recommendations for ventilation for Catering
Appliances are given in BS 5440.
Installation sho ld be made in accordance with local
and/or national reg lations applying at the time, and a
competent installer m st be employed.
The appliance fl e discharges vertically thro gh the
grille at the hob rear. There m st be no direct
connection of the fl e to any mechanical extraction
system or the o tside air. Siting appliance nder a
ventilated canopy is the ideal arrangement.
1.4 GAS SUPPLY
The incoming service m st be of s fficient size to
s pply f ll rate witho t excessive press re drop.
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the
local Gas Region (or local Gas Region Contractor).
An existing meter sho ld be checked, preferably by
the Region to ens re that the meter is adeq ate to
deal with the rate of gas s pply req ired.
Installation pipework sho ld be fitted in accordance
with IGE/UP/2. The size of the pipes from meter to
appliance m st be not less than that of appliance inlet
connection, Rc

SECTION 2 - ASSEMBLY
an COMMISSIONING
2.1 ASSEMBLY
Position nit and level sing the feet adj sters.
The feet are provided with holes which enable the
nit to be sec red to the floor. It is essential to effect
this operation on both models.
Open oven door, p ll o t shelves and loose base
panel. Check b rner, spark igniter and flame fail re
arrangements are correctly located and sec red.
Replace all parts in reverse seq ence.
On G350/1 model, check open-top b rner
assemblies, pan s pports, spillage deflectors.
Spillage trays may be packed separately inside oven
compartment.
The spillage tray slides thro gh an apert re in front
facia panel below controls (open top models only).
The side spillage deflectors have a raised edge which
engage below fixed side trims.
The b rner bodies and injectors are fixed and sho ld
not req ire adj stment. The b rner head fits loosely
on the al mini m bezel which is sec red to drip tray.

ntil niting pin is free. Withdraw spindle and centre
pl g, taking care not to lose the small compression
spring. Clean all parts with a soft rag, and sparingly
re-grease pl g with an approved high temperat re
grease is recommended. Also apply grease to
operating spindle where it enters pl g.
Note
Tap pl gs and bodies are made in matched pairs -
DO NOT INTERCHANGE.
Before re-assembling tap to float rail, check
serviceability of r bber sealing washer and if in
do bt, fit a new washer.
Re-fit all parts in reverse order, checking for gas
so ndness.
3.8.2 Burner Control - Soli Top
This is a combined gas tap and flame fail re device.
The tap has fo r indented positions, i.e. off, ignition,
f ll on, and simmer.
Adj sting screws are provided for reg lating pilot and
simmer flame.
To Remove
Proceed as follows:
a) Remove control knobs and remove facia panel as
detailed in Section 3.2.
b) Remove hotplate components.
c) Undo b rner s pply pipe nion at control rear.
d) Remove fixings which clamp control to circ lar float

central pin assembly, i.e. fit spring to pin first, then
brass washer, and finally the sealing washer. When
inserting into pl g, ens re sealing washer fits sn gly
in recess at bottom of hole in pl g. When
re-assembling operating spindle, ens re that niting
pin engages in pl g slot.
The LOW FLAME setting is adj stable by means of a
screw on front of control (See Fig re 5).
If it is necessary to adj st flame, adopt the following
proced re:
k) T rn screw f lly clockwise as far as it will go, then
ndo approx. a q arter to a third of a t rn.
m) Light b rner and t rn to LOW setting.
n) Observe flame and if necessary t rn screw very
slightly to obtain a satisfactory condition.
T rn anti-clockwise to increase flame and
vice-versa. Aim to achieve lowest possible stable
flame, i.e. not tending to exting ish.

3.9 GOVERNOR
This applies to NATURAL GAS UNITS ONLY.
The type of governor sed will normally req ire little
servicing. The air breather hole sho ld be checked
reg larly for dirt blockage.
Always re-check test point press re after governor
maintenance.
3.10 DOORS
To renew a door seal, remove old seal complete with
retaining channel.
The new seal is s pplied complete with clips.
Fit these thro gh channel hole and p sh into door
holes. T ck seal ends into holes.
After fitting new seals, it may be necessary to adj st
