Instructions for the installer
2. INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by authorised persons.
Clearance around the cooker must comply with the requirements of
AS5601.
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.
On the power line, install a two-pole cut-off device with contact cut-off
distance greater than or equal to 3 mm, located in an easily accessible
position near the unit.
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-
g
reen) longer by
at least 20 mm. Use only the special
cables available at our Service
Centres.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons
or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by
interference with any part of the appliance.

Instructions for the installer
2.2 Gas connection
This appliance is suitable for installation with Natural
Gas or LPG. 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 LPG appliances.
Connection of the appliance to the gas supply must be in
accordance with the requirements of AS5601. A ½” BPS
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:
(a)- annealed copper pipe; or
(b)- a hose assembly complying with requirements of AS 1869 - class B
or equivalent.
The cooker must be installed with provision to allow the gas to be turned
off and disconnected for servicing and removal of the appliance as
required from the gas supply.
Before the cooker is operated make certain all relevant parts are placed
in the correct position.
When the installation is completed the installation connections of cooker
will require to be leak tested, the burner operating pressure and flame
checked and adjusted.
Warranty service calls do not cover these adjustments!
To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at
least 2 large size burners are used. Ensure appliance is secured to wall
when installation is completed.
N.G. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the
rear of the appliance. An approved manual shut-off valve must be
installed. The N.G. regulator must be checked and adjusted to 1.0kPa
after installation.
L.P.G. Can be connected to the inlet fitting directly. The
pressure must be checked to ensure it is operating at
2.75kPa.

Instructions for the installer
2.3 Room ventilation
Caution – This cooker may only be installed and operated in rooms
permanently ventilated in accordance with current regulations. For
proper operation of a gas appliance it is essential for the air necessary
for combustion of the gas to be able to flow naturally into the room. Air
must flow directly into the room through openings in its outside walls.
This (these) opening (s) must have a free passage cross-section of at
least 100 cm2, or 200 cm2for appliances not equipped with gas safety
device. These openings must be constructed so that they cannot be
obstructed indoors or outdoors, and should preferably be close to the
floor on the side opposite to the combustion gas discharge point. If it is
not possible to make the openings in the room where the cooker is
installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjoining room,
proveded it is not a bedroom or a room with fire risk.

Instructions for the installer
REQUIREMENTS
1 Overhead clearances – (Measurement A)
Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions. However, in no case shall the
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 Cof 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.
5 Consideration is to be given to window treatments when
located near cooking appliances. See Clause 5.3.4.

Instructions for the installer
3. ADAPTATION TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance work, detach the
appliance from the electrical socket.
The hob of the cooker is adjusted for use with either natural gas at a
pressure of 1.0kPa (A11X) or LPG (propane) at a pressure of 2.75 kPa
(A11XLP). 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 Burner and nozzle characteristics
table”.
Replace the burners in the correct position.
