8Installation instructions
Before you start
Before starting to install the cooktop, make sure that:
the cooktop has not been damaged during transport. In case of doubt after unpacking and
checking it, contact the retailer
the local distribution conditions (nature of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the cooktop
(as detailed on the appliance data label and in the ‘Gas rate and injector size table’ further
below) are compatible
the cooktop will be connected to a 220-240 V 50 Hz power supply and earthed via the power
supply cable
there is an earthed power outlet within the reach of the cooktop’s power supply cable (within
900 mm from the rear right of the cooktop, see dimension G in ‘Clearances’)
the power outlet will be accessible after installation
the power supply cable will not touch any hot metal parts
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with local wiring
rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air
gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules
allow for this variation of the requirements)
the isolating switch will be accessible after installation
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
exposed bare edges of the cutout are sealed with an oil-based paint or moistureproof
polyurethane to prevent possible damage from moisture creeping between the cooktop trim
and the benchtop.
Standards requirements
Temperature of nearby surfaces. Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards
(AS5601, NZS5261) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65
o
C above ambient. This is typically achieved by:
having the cooktop spaced away from the wall (see dimensions A, B, and C in ‘Clearances’)
OR
protecting the wall to a height of at least 150 mm along its length (see dimension D in
‘Clearances’) with non-combustible surface materials such as:
- 5 mm-thick ceramic tiles—these alone are adequate
- tempered glass or sheetmetal (minimum thickness 0.4 mm)—acceptable when used in
front of a fire resistant material
- F&P splashback (not available in Australia) when used with a 10 mm clearance from the
rear edge of the cooktop to the front of the splashback (SB90 and SB1216 splashback
models only).
Note: these cooktops have been tested by an independent testing lab and meet standards
requirements when installed to the dimensions in these instructions.

Installation instructions
Fastening the cooktop to the bench
This cooktop is suppled with fastening brackets (and screws) that will cope with a
bench thickness of 20-50 mm. For benches thicker than 50 mm, recess the underside
to a thickness of 20-50 mm.
Connecting the cooktop to the gas supply
Important!
This cooktop is supplied factory-set for Natural Gas, but is suitable for installation with either
Natural Gas or LPG, provided the injectors appropriate for the gas type are installed. Refer to
the ‘Gas rate and injector size table’ for nominal ratings and appropriate injector sizes, and to
section ‘Converting to a different gas type’.
The gas connection must be carried out by a suitably qualified person according to the relevant
standards.
For Natural Gas, connect the gas supply to the gas pressure regulator supplied with the cooktop.
Adjust the regulator to obtain a test point pressure of 1 kPa (4”W.C.) with the three largest
burners operating at the highest setting.
For LPG, connect the the gas supply to the test point adaptor supplied with the cooktop. Ensure
that the supply pressure is regulated to 2.75 kPa (11” W.C.) See section ‘Converting to a different
gas type’.
Make sure the connection point will be accessible with the cooktop installed.
To enable the gas supply to be readily shut off, make sure the connection is fitted with an
isolating valve close to the cooktop.
Attach the duplicate appliance data label on a surface adjacent to the cooktop, so that it will be
easily read with the cooktop installed.
For instructions on converting the cooktop for use with a different gas type, see section
‘Converting to a different gas type’.

10 Installation instructions
Special requirements for CG604 and CG905DWFC models
Gas connection to these cooktops MUST use the elbow supplied. The regulator will not seal if
installed without it.
Ensure the fibre washer (supplied) is located between the elbow (supplied) and cooktop gas
inlet (Fig.2). Failure to use this washer will cause the connection to leak. Tighten the floating
nut to firm finger tight, plus an additional ¼ turn (90
o
).
Gas connection with a flexible hose
If the gas is connected with a flexible hose, the connector on the wall should be between 800-
850 mm above the floor and to a distance of at least 250 mm outside the width of the cooktop.
The connector should be accessible with the cooktop installed.
Flexible hose assemblies should be AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified. The thread
connection shall be Rp ½” (ISO 7-1) female (for CG604 and CG905DWFC models) or male (for
CG905DWAC models). See Figs. 2 and 3.
The hose assembly must be as short as practicable and comply with relevant AS 5601/NZS 5261
requirements.
The hose must not be kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently deformed.
The hose must not be near or in contact with any hot surfaces (eg base of metal hotplate, flue or
chassis of underbench oven etc).

Installation instructions
Leak-testing and flame-testing the cooktop
Important!
The operation of the cooktop, including the ignition system, must be tested before installation is complete.
If, after following the instructions below, satisfactory performance cannot be obtained, contact the local
gas authority or your local Authorised Repairer for advice and assistance.
Checking the connections for leaks
After installation and making all connections, check thoroughly for possible leaks and make sure
all connections are gas-tight.
1 Turn all control dials to O (OFF).
2 Open the valve on the gas supply.
3 Check each connection one at a time by brushing a soap and water solution or a suitable leak
detection fluid over it.
Important!
Do not use any naked flames to check for leaks.
The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten or replace connections as appropriate, then
leak-test all connections again. For CG604 and CG905DWFC models, ensure the fibre washer
(supplied) is located between the elbow and the cooktop’s gas inlet.
Checking the burner flames
1 Light each burner.
2 Check for a well-defined blue flame without any yellow tipping. See Fig.4.
If any abnormality is evident, check that:
- the burner cap is located properly
- the injector nipple is correctly aligned
- the correct size injectors are installed.
Incorrect: flame

12 Installation instructions
Converting to a different gas type
Important!
Gas conversion may only be carried out by a suitably qualified person.
To convert from one gas type to another, you need to replace the injectors and adjust the
minimum burner setting.
To replace the injectors, you will need a 7 mm box spanner (and a 10 mm ring spanner for
CG905DWAC models). These are not supplied.
1 Switch the power supply to the cooktop off at at the wall.
Important!
Disconnect cooktop from the power supply before continuing.
2 Make sure each control dial is turned to O (OFF).
3 Remove all the pan supports and burner heads.
4 Pull off the control dials.
5 Using a 7 mm box spanner, remove the injectors and replace them with the correct ones
(size numbers are stamped on the inside, eg 70=0.70 mm). Hold on to the card housing the
replacement injectors for later use.
CG905DWAC only
6 Remove all the screws holding the burners in place.
7 Carefully lift the hob tray off the cooktop.
Important!
Beware of sharp edges.
8 Replace the wok burner injector with the correct one using a 10 mm ring spanner.
9
Reset the venturi. Loosen the venturi screw, move the venturi towards the injector approx.
2 mm.
10
Refit the hob tray on the cooktop, repeating steps 6 and 7 in reverse.

2
Remove the dial.
3
Slowly turn the adjustment screw inside the valve shaft until a minimum regular flame is
achieved. Note:
The flame will diminish when the screw is turned clockwise, and increase when turned
anti-clockwise.
The brass wok burner in the centre of CG905DWAC models may require progressive
venturi adjustment (Fig. 6) until a good flame (Fig.4) is achieved:
- If the flame is ‘lifting off’ the burner, move the venturi closer to the injector.
- If there is yellow tipping, move the venturi away from the injector.
4
Refit the dial.
5
Check the minimum burner setting: quickly turn the dial from maximum to minimum. The flame
must not go out. If it does, repeat the steps above.
