4. Installation
The following instructions are intended for a qualied professional installer. These instructions are intended to
provide assistance with installation and maintenance of the appliance.
• Before you install the appliance, make sure that the local distribution conditions (gas type and
pressure) and the appliance conguration are appropriate.
• Conguration details are given on the appliance nameplate.
• This appliance is not to be connected to an exhaust ue. This appliance must be installed and connected
in accordance with the current regulations. In particular, consideration must be given to the applicable
requirements for ventilation.
This appliance shall be installed only by authorised persons and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
installation instructions, AS 5601 - Gas Installations (installations and pipe sizing), local gas tting regulations,
local electrical regulations, local water regulations, local health regulations, Building Code of Australia and any
other government authority.
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Ventilation
Ventilation must be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 – Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should
have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper ueing and to maintain temperature of
immediate surroundings within safe limits.
Combustible Surfaces
Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200mm from the edge of the cooktop burner must be a suitable
non-combustible material with a height of 150mm for the entire length of the cooktop. Any combustible
construction above the hotplate must be at least 650mm above the top of the burner and no construction
shall be within 450mm of the burner.
The wall and benchtop surfaces must be capable of sustaining temperature of 90˚C. All laminates, xing
adhesive and surfacing materials should be certied suitable for this temperature.
Gas Connection
To perform these operations the qualied installer will follow the indications given in the “Adaptation to the
various types of gas” section. For safer operation make sure that the supply pressure respects the values given
in the “Table of burner and injector characteristics”.
The appliance must be connected to the gas supply or a gas cylinder according to the specications of the
standards and after checking it is adjusted for the type of gas available.
The gas connection is male 1/2” BSP and is situated 55mm from the right and 565mm from the oor. There are
two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas line:
A. The cooktop can be connected with rigid pipe as specied in AS5601 - table 3.1.

Page 9
4. Installation
B. The cooktop can be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved),
10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601. Ensure that the hose does
not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or other appliances that may be installed
underneath or next to the hotplate. WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental
contact with the ue or ue outlet of an underbench oven. The hose should not be subjected to abrasion,
kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions
compatible with the hose ttings must be used and connections tested for gas leaks. The supply connection
point shall be accessible with the appliance installed.
The appliance is factory set for Natural gas. The test point pressure should be adjusted to 1.00kPa when
approximately 50% of the burners are on high ame.
The appliance is set up to operate with the gas specied on the gas type label placed on the back of the
appliance.
When the type of gas available does not correspond to that for which the appliance is set up, replace the
corresponding injectors (provided), being careful to put on the new label (provided) and remove the old one.
Universal LPG
When converting from Natural Gas to Universal LPG ensure that the NG regulator is
removed and replaced with the Test Point Assembly. An AGA Approved gas regulator
suitable for a supply pressure of 2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and the
test point pressure should be adjusted to 2.75kPa.
Before Leaving - Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use
a naked ame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to
ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low ame
position and observe stability of the ame for each burner individually and concurrently.
When satised with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct method of
operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been
carried out, call the Customer Service team.
Gas leakage and operation of the appliance must be tested by the installer before
leaving. Check burner ames are blue in colour, stable and completely ignite at both
high and low ame settings and with no appreciable yellow tipping, carbon deposition,
lifting, oating, lighting back or objectionable odour. Test burners individually and in
combination. When satised with the operation of the cooktop, please instruct the user
on the correct method of operation.
Natural Gas
Natural Gas installation requires the connection of a gas regulator. Only use the natural
gas regulator supplied with this appliance. Assemble the regulator (noting the gas ow
direction) and transition pieces (supplied with the appliance), in accordance with the
gure. The transition piece on the supply side of the regulator must be provided by the installer. The appliance
has been tted with injectors for natural gas. Universal LPG gas injectors (if required) have been included in the
installation kit.
