2. Positioning of the hob
This appliance shall be installed only by authorized persons in
accordance with AS5601 - Gas Installations, any statutory regulations,
local gas regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring
regulations, and the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Clearance around the appliance must comply with the requirements of
AS5601.
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so
must be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be
carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or
plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C).
2.1 Attachment to support structure
Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top
surface of the counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the
rear border.
This appliance is classified as “type Y” in relation to fire hazards and
can therefore be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on
condition that a certain distance “X” be kept between the appliance and
the wall as shown in the figure so as to avoid damage from overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate flames
and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.
Carefully position the insulating seal supplied on the outer perimeter of
the hole made in the counter top as shown in figure 4 (the dimensions
in the figure refer from the hole to the inside of the seal), trying to
ensure that it sticks across the whole of its surface by applying light
pressure with your hands. Fix the hob to the unit using the appropriate

brackets Band spacers Aas shown in graphics 1, 2 and 3. Spacers A
will help to keep the hob top at the right distance from the edge of the
counter top to avoid future overheating during operation. Carefully trim
the surplus away from edge Cbeyond the seal (Fig.5).

* Dimension A, C : Clearances are
these for the hose assembly.

Instructions for the installer
clearance between the highest part of the hob of the cooking
appliance 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 Clause
5.12.1.2. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be
less than 450 mm.
2. Side clearances – (Measurements B& C)
Where B, measured 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 Clause 5.12.1.2 to a height C of not
less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or
depth) of the cooking surface area. Where the cooking appliance is
fitted with a ‘splashback’, protection of the rear wall is not required.
3. Additional requirements for Freestanding and Elevated Cooking
Appliaces – (Measurements D& E)
Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a
horizontal combustible surface is less than 200 mm, then Eshall be
10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet.
See insets above.
NOTES
1. Requirement 3 does not apply to a freestanding or elevated cooking
appliance which is designed to prevent flames or the cooking
vessels from extending beyond the periphery of the appliance.
2. The ‘cooking surface area’ is defined as that part of the appliance
where cooking normally takes place and does not include those
parts of the appliance containing control knobs.
3. For definition of hob, see Clause 1.4.64.
4. For definition of trivet, see Clause 1.4.109.

3. Electrical connection
Make sure that the voltage and capacity of the power line conform
to the data shown on the plate located under the casing. Do not
remove this plate for any reason.
The plug on the end of the supply cable and the wall socket must
be the same type and conform to the current electrical system
regulations.
Check that the power line is adequately grounded.
On the power line, install an omnipolar cut-off device with contact
cut-off distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily
accessible position near the unit.
Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts.
If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable
must not be less than 1 mm2(3 x 1 cable), keeping in mind that
the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire
(yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F
cable or similar which has a maximum temperature of 90°C.
Any replacement needed should be carried out by a specialised
technician who should make the mains connections according
to the following diagram.

4. Gas connection
Use pipe-joint compound made for use with Natural U.L.P. gas.
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (the
example corresponds to the front left burner).
This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural Gas
or ULPG (propane). Refer to page 12 for the relevant
burner pressure and appropriate injector sizes. When the
appliance is to be connected to Natural Gas then the
pressure regulator supplied must be fitted to the gas inlet.
A test point (for checking the gas pressure) is supplied
either with the regulator or as a separate fitting in the case
of ULPG (propane) appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in accordance
with the requirements of AS5601. A 1/2” BSP connector at the inlet is
recommended and the gas supply line to the appliance must be of
adequate length to allow sufficient withdrawal of appliance for service
or disconnection and be:
1. annealed copper pipe or;
2. flexible hose according to AS/NZ1869 & be at least Class “B”,
10 mm diameter.
The appliance must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be
