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 authorised 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 the ambient 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 and functionality of the burner.
INSTALLATION
The appliance is supplied ready 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 (ULPG) to be changed.
- Replacement of the injector.
- Adjust the primary air inlet.
- New gas label attached stating gas type.
- Adjustment of minimum setting on valve.

7
GAS CONNECTION
The connection must be made by a qualified gas fitter according to the relevant standard. The gas
connection is positioned on the right hand side (from front), in from the back edge. At the end of the
gas inlet manifold is a ½ BSP nut, which can be loosened to allow the elbow fitting to rotate.
The fitting is made up of 1 x elbow fitting, 1 x gasket and 1 x ULPG test point nipple adaptor (for ULPG
use only) or NG regulator. The hob must be installed in a room with adequate ventilation (see installation
section). The inlet is 36mm from the right hand side and 40mm in from the back edge.
There are two ways the gas connection can be made to the main gas line:
a) The appliance can be connected with a rigid pipe as specified in AS5601.
b) The appliance can be connected with a flexible hose assembly that complies to AS/NZS 1869,
10 mm ID, class B or D and 1200 mm or less in length in accordance to AS5601. Ensure that
the hose cannot get in contact with any hot surface of the appliance or any nearby appliance
(dishwasher, oven etc). The hose should not be subject to abrasion, kinking or permanent
deformation, and should be positioned so that the entire length of the hose can be inspected
with the appliance installed. The gas supply connection must be accessible. Unions compatible
with the hose fittings must be used and all connections leak tested.
N.G.:
Fit the supplied NG regulator to the inlet adaptor at the end of the inlet manifold 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 to the inlet adaptor 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.
ORIENTATION OF THE ELBOW
The appliance is supplied with a gas connection oriented down out of the cooking hob. The connection to the
gas supply should be as direct as possible, either directly from the outlet adaptor, or from the supplied elbow. To
turn the elbow, follow these operations:
Tighten elbow to reduction adaptor.
Loosen the nut.
Turn the elbow.
Lock the nut.
Make sure that there are no leakages by testing with a soapy solution and brush.
If the gasket at the nut is in any way damaged, it must be replaced.
WARNING: The elbow should not be adjusted without loosening the locking nut first.
OPERATIONS TO BE PERFORMED WHEN CONVERTING GAS TYPES
This operation can only be performed by an
authorised person.
First remove the trivets and the burner covers and
place on a safe surface.
Using a spanner, replace the injector with either
Natural Gas sized injectors or LPG sized injectors
(listed in the appliance details section of this
manual). For semi-rapid and rapid burners, the
injector is in the centre of the burner body. For the
wok burner, the injector is opposite the inlet pipe.

8
ADJUSTING THE MINIMUM SETTING ON THE VALVE
When switching from one type of gas to another, the minimum flow rate
must be adjusted at the valve. The flame should not go out even when
passing suddenly from maximum to minimum flame.
The gas valves are supplied with an adjustment screw on the valve body
side.
Using a screwdriver with Ø3mm max, turn the screw on the valve body
side until the correct setting is obtained. For ULPG, turn the screw fully
clockwise (closed). For NG, first turn the screw fully clockwise. Carefully
turn the screw anti-clockwise by the following amount:
Semi-rapid burner: 3/8ths of a turn.
Rapid burner: Slightly less than 5/8ths of a turn.
Wok burner: ½ a turn.
This will allow more gas to flow through the valve at the minimum control
knob setting.
This can be checked after the gas has been connected by running the cooktop for a 10 seconds MAX and then
quickly turning down to MIN. If the flame stays lit, the minimum setting on the valve is correct.
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 the Omega service department on 131
NPK.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Installation is only permitted by an authorised 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 at the bottom of the appliance, rear 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 900 mm 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 75ºC 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.
After having installed the appliance, the powerswitch or power plug must always be in an accessible position.
Electricalconnection diagrams
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.

10
INSTALLATION
Note: These tops are designed to be fitted into kitchen fixtures measuring 600 mm in depth.
In order to install the cooktop into the kitchen fixture, a hole with the dimensions shown in the appliance details
section has to be made, keeping in consideration the following:
Within the fixture, between the bottom side of the cooktop and the upper surface of any other appliance or
internal shelf there must be a clearance of at least 20 mm;
Keep at least 200 mm from the periphery of the burners to any side or rear wall with combustible surfaces or
keep the appliance sides at least 45 mm 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 a cupboard with a door.
It is recommended that the bench top material should be resistant to temperatures at least 75ºC above ambient
temperature.
Note: Keep a safe distance away from combustible constructions.
After installation, all burners should be tested individually and together to ensure correct operation.

11
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 cooktop and the
surface of the panel, which must be easily removable to
allow sufficient access for any servicing procedures. NOTE:
When installing above a cupboard, a dividing shelf (as shown
in the diagram) 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.
A distance of at least 150 mm is required between the sides
of the cooktop and any internal wall of the cupboard.
PREPARING AND PLACING THE GAS COOKTOP FOR INSTALLATION
Every cooktop is provided with a set of brackets for fitting the unit to a bench top with thickness from 3
to 4 cm and a seal with adhesive on one side.
- Remove burner and trivet.
- Turn the cooktop over and rest the top face on a cloth.
- Apply the self-adhesive seal to the bottom edge of the glass where it will sit on the bench.
- Position the cooktop in the bench recess. Fix the four brackets to the bottom of the cooktop (two
each front and rear into the 4 slots in the base panel) with a single screw. For 30 mm bench tops, add
the small extension piece to each bracket. Tighten up the screws to secure the cooktop to the bench.

12
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 see diagrams below.
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.

13
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IGNITING THE BURNERS
The knob on your gas cooktop controls both ignition and the gas supply. Proceed as follows to ignite
the burners:
Press down and turn the control knob for the burner you would like to use anti-clockwise. As the knob
reaches 90º C (MAX and ignition), the electronic ignition will start sparking at the burner. Hold the
control knob down for 3 to 5 seconds so the thermoelectric safety system can engage and then release
the control knob. The flame can now be adjusted by turning the control knob anti-clockwise until it
reaches the desired size. Only adjust the knob between the MAX and MIN settings, otherwise the
burner will turn off.
To turn off the burner, rotate the control knob clockwise to the ‘Off’ position (straight up).
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 parts of the burner
are correctly positioned.
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 and 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 and 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.
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.

14
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Please follow the maintenance and cleaning guidelines below to keep your 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. Avoid using chlorine based cleaners (like
bleach). Do not use steam or high pressure cleaners on the appliance.
Avoid leaving acidic or alkaline substances on the cooktop.
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
tempered glass.
Burners and enamelled components are only to be washed with soapy water and sponges. Do not use
abrasive cleaners on these components.
When cleaning the burner components, please ensure that they are fully dry before replacing them on
the cooktop and before use.
Ensure that all components are placed back onto the cooktop correctly. Failure to do so can cause
problems with the burners igniting and functioning correctly.
For semi-rapid and rapid burners, first place the brass burner skirt over the burner body, so that the
extruded section at the base is sitting over the injector. Rotate the brass burner skirt until the slots
match up with the ignitor and sensor pins. Place the brass burner skirt into the burner body so that it
fits snuggly and level. The brass burner skirt should lock into position so it cannot be rotated. Secondly
place the steel burner cover evenly on the four extrusions at the top of the brass burner skirt.
For wok burners, the first operation is similar to that for semi-rapid and rapid burners. Once positioned,
there are two steel burner covers to be placed on top of the brass burner skirt. The outer burner cover
sits evenly over the outer chamber of the brass burner skirt, and the inner burner cover sits evenly on
the three extrusions at the centre of the brass burner cover.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the tempered glass cooktop as above after every use.
Clean brass burner top and trivet at least once a week, or after any spillage.
Gas inlet pipes should be checked periodically for leakages (see section on leak testing) a minimum of
every 12 months.
Lubrication of gas valves - this can only be performed by an authorised person. It may be required if the
gas tap become stiff and difficult to turn.
