Damage from falling objects.
Take care not to damage the cooktop when fitting wall units or a rangehood
above it.
Fit the wall units and the rangehood before the cooktop.
 The veneer or laminate coatings of worktops (or adjacent kitchen
units) must be treated with 100°C heat-resistant adhesive which will
not dissolve or distort. Any splashbacks must be of heat-resistant
material as well.
 The cooktop must not be installed over a fridge, fridge-freezer,
freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, washer-dryer or tumble dryer.
 A gas cooktop must not be installed directly next to a deep fat
fryer as the gas flames could ignite the fat in the fryer. It is essential
to maintain a distance of at least 300mm between these two
appliances.
 When installing the cooktop, make sure that the gas hose and
electrical connection cable cannot come into contact with hot
appliance parts.
 The electrical cable and any flexible gas connection pipes must be
installed in such a way so that they do not come into contact with
any moving kitchen parts (e.g. a drawer), and cannot become
trapped.
 This cooktop is not suitable for installation and operation with
aftermarket lids or covers fitted.
 This appliance must not be installed and operated in mobile
installations (e.g. on a ship).
 Carefully observe the safety clearances listed on the following
pages.
All dimensions in this instruction booklet are given in mm.

Safety distances
5
Safety distance above the
cooktop
A minimum safety distance must be
maintained between the cooktop and
the rangehood above it. See the
rangehood manufacturer's operating
and installation instructions for details.
If the manufacturer's instructions are
not available for the rangehood, a
minimum safety distance as per AS/
NZS 5601.1 must be maintained.
For any flammable objects, e.g. utensil
rails, wall units etc., a minimum safety
distance of 600mm must be
maintained between these objects and
the highest part of the cooktop below.
When two or more appliances which
have different safety distances are
installed together below a
rangehood, you should observe the
greatest safety distance.

Safety distances
6
Safety distances to the sides
and back of the appliance
Ideally the appliance should be installed
with plenty of space on either side.
There may be a wall at the rear and a
tall unit or wall on one side (right or left).
On the other side, however, no tall unit
or wall should stand higher than the
appliance. Before installing the
appliance, check that the location
provides the required clearances from
combustible material and, if necessary,
provide protection to adjacent surfaces
as required by regulations.
Not allowed
Recommended
Not recommended
Not recommended

Safety distances
7
A gas appliance shall be installed such
that the surface temperature of any
nearby combustible surface* will not
exceed 65°C above ambient.
The minimum clearance from a
combustible surface shall be a 200mm
horizontal distance from the periphery
of any gas burner (AS/NZS 5601.1).
If that horizontal clearance is less than
200mm, that vertical surface must be
protected by a non-combustible
material for 150mm above the cooktop
surface across the entire length (depth,
width).
The shown area indicates the protected
surface, which may be ceramic tiles or
other approved material.
*Combustible surface:
A material which will ignite and burn,
and includes material which has been
flameproofed.
Clearance underneath the
appliance
A minimum safety clearance of 30mm
must be provided underneath the
appliance.
Please note that clearance must also be
provided for the installation of the
flexible gas connection hose and mains
electrical cable if the appliance is to be
installed above a closed surface (e.g.
an oven).

Installation notes
8
Seal between the cooktop and
the worktop
Do not use sealant between the
cooktop and the worktop. This could
result in damage to the cooktop or
the worktop if the cooktop ever
needs to be removed for servicing.
The sealing strip under the edge of
the top part of the appliance
provides a sufficient seal for the
worktop.
Tiled worktop
Grout lines and the hatched area
underneath the cooktop frame must be
smooth and even. If they are not, the
cooktop will not sit flush with the
worktop and the sealing strip
underneath the cooktop will not provide
a good seal between the cooktop and
the worktop.

Preparing the worktop
Create the worktop cut-out as shown
in “Building-in dimensions”.
Remember to maintain the minimum
safety distances (see “Safety
distances”).
Seal the cut surfaces with a suitable
heat-resistant sealant to avoid
swelling caused by moisture. The
sealant must be temperature-
resistant.
Make sure the sealant does not
come into contact with the top
surface of the worktop.
The sealing strip ensures that the
cooktop will sit securely in the cut-out
without slipping. Any gap between the
frame and worktop will become
smaller over time.
Installing the cooktop
Feed the mains connection cable
down through the worktop cut-out.
Place the cooktop centrally in the
cut-out. When doing this make sure
that the seal of the appliance sits
flush with the worktop on all sides.
This is important to ensure an
effective seal all round.
If the seal does not meet the worktop
correctly on the corners, the corner
radii (≤R4) can be carefully scribed to
suit.
Do not use any additional sealant
(e.g. silicone).
Connect the cooktop to the mains
electricity supply.
Connect the cooktop to the gas
supply (see “Gas connection”).
