2INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons. Corgi gas installers ar
e
approved to work to safe and satisfactory standards. All gas installation, servicing and repair wor
k
must be in accordance with the gas safety regulations 1984 (installation and use) as amended 1990.
It can be placed against walls higher than the hob, at a distance of at least 50 mm from the side of th
e
appliance, as shown in the drawings A and B relating to the installation classes. Wall units or extracto
r
hoods located above the hob must be at least 750 mm away from it.
AB
Built-in appliance Free-standing installation
AB
Built-in appliance Free-standing installation
The appliances with a gas bottle compartment and electric oven can only be installed as
class 1 (see fig. B).
2.1 Electrical connection
Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located
inside the storage compartment.
This rating plate must never be removed.

Instruction for the installer
7
If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out
device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the
appliance and in an easily reachable position.
Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket
must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the
type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure
that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1
If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must
not be less than 1.5 mm2(3 x 1.5 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. This must be done by a specialised
technician, who must connect the cooker to the electricity supply
according to the diagram shown here.
L= brown
N= blue
= yellow-green.
2.2 Ventilation requirements
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with B.S. 5440 part 2
1989.
1. All rooms require an opening window or equivalent, and some rooms will require a permanent vent
as well.
2. For room volumes up to 5 m3an air vent of 100 cm2is required.
3. If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, and the room exceeds 1 m3no air vent is
required.
4. For room volumes between 5 m3and 10 m3an air vent of 50 cm2is required.
5. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room B.S. 5440 part 2 1989 should be
consulted to determine the air vent requirements.
6. This appliance must not be installed in a bed sitting room of less than 20 m3or in a bathroom o
r
shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or removed without first consulting a
Corgi gas installer.
Failure to install appliances correctly is dangerous and could lead to prosecution.
2.3 Connecting to natural and LPG gas (Please see connection diagram)
Make the connection to the appliance using flexible bayonet style hose in
accordance to B.S. 669. The hose connection at the rear of the appliance has a ½”
BSP internal thread. Please use seal Cbetween the flexible connection Land the
appliance supply tube B. When making the connection, make sure that no stress of
any kind is applied to the cooker and that the hose does not touch any sharp
edges.
If connecting to LPG the bayonet hose must have red bands on it.

3ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance work, detach the appliance from the electrical socket.
The cooker hob is set for natural gas G20 (2H) at a pressure of 20 mbar for cookers with maxi oven,
and for LPG G30/G31 (3+) at a pressure of 28/37 mbar for cookers with gas-bottle compartments. In
the case of functioning with other types of gas the burner nozzles must be changed and the minimum
flame adjusted on the gas taps. To change the nozzles, proceed as described below.
3.1 Replacement of nozzles on the hob
This operation requires no primary air regulation.
1. Extract the grids and remove all the caps and flame-spreader crowns;
2. unscrew the burner nozzles with a 7 mm socket wrench;
3. replace the nozzles according to the type of gas to be used and the description in paragraph “3.2
/
3.3 Burner and nozzle characteristics table”.
4. Replace the burners in the correct position.

4FINAL OPERATIONS
After replacing the nozzles, reposition the flame-spreader crowns, the burner caps and the grids.
Following adjustment to a gas other than the preset one, replace the gas adjustment label fixed to th
e
appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. This label is in the packet together with th
e
nozzles.
4.1 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position . Extract the gas tap
knob and turn the adjustment screw at the side of the tap rod until the
correct minimum flame is achieved.
Replace the knob and check burner flame stability: (rapidly turning the
knob from maximum to minimum position, the flame should not go out).
Repeat the operation on all the gas taps.
For models with valves, keep the knob at minimum level for about 1 minute to keep the flame lit and t
o
activate the safety device.
4.2 Regulation of the hob burner minimum level for LPG
For regulating the minimum with LPG, the screw at the side of the tap rod must be turned clockwise all
the way.
The bypass diameters for each individual burner are shown in paragraph “3.2 / 3.3 Burner and nozzle
characteristics table”. Once the regulation has been completed, replace the seal on the by-passes
using paint or similar materials.
4.3 Regulation of the oven burner minimum level
The oven thermostat is equipped with a by-pass to regulate the minimum level, which is visible
underneath the thermostat knob.
When the gas type is changed, the by-pass should be regulated as follows:
1. Turn on the oven burner to maximum for 10/15 minutes with the door closed and without the floor.
Turn the knob to the minimum temperature, remove the knob and regulate using a flat
screwdriver.
2. For LPG turn the by-pass screw clockwise as far as it will go. The by-pass diameter is shown in
the paragraph “3.2 / 3.3 Burner and nozzle characteristics table”.
3. For natural gas, regulate the by-pass so that turning the thermostat knob from minimum to
maximum the flame remains stable and constant. Once the regulation has been completed,
replace the seal on the by-pass using paint or similar materials. Close the oven door and make
sure that the burner stays on minimum.
