installation, adjustment, alteration or service can cause injury or damage. We decline any responsibility for
injury or damage, to persons or property, as a result of improper use or installation.
• This appliance is not connected to a ue for discharge of the combustion products; therefore, it must be
connected in compliance with the above mentioned installation rules. Particular attention must be paid to
the instructions given for ventilation.
• Any adjustments, conversions and maintenance of this product may only be carried out by an
appropriately authorised person, as mentioned above.
• The safety and automatic adjustment devices of the appliance may only be modied by an authorised
service agent.
Important Installation Advice
Natural gas only: This appliance is intended for use with natural gas only.
Location: The cooktop may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/dining room or a bed-sitting
room, but not in a room containing a bath or shower. The hob must not be
installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 20m3.
Other use: This appliance is unsuitable for use in marine craft, caravans or mobile homes
unless each burner is tted with a ame safeguard.
Heat resistance of surrounding surfaces:
Wall and bench surfaces must be capable of sustaining temperatures of 95°C. All
laminates, xing adhesive and surfacing materials must be certied suitable for
this temperature. We assume no liability for any damage caused if the appliance
is installed contrary to this advice. Do not install the cooktop near curtains or
other ammable materials.
Clearances: Fire resistant materials (such as ceramic tiles) are required up to 450mm above
the burner top.
Walls or vertical structures must be at least 200mm away from the burner.
Where the horizontal clearance is less than 200mm, that vertical surface must be
protected by a non-combustible material for 150mm above the cooktop surface
across the entire length (depth, width), indicated in Fig. 1. The 150mm protected
surface may be ceramic tiles or another approved non-combustible material.
Fig. 1

10 MODEL: SGC62 | PRODUCT CODE: 53593 | 06/2016
Installation Cont.
There must be a minimum clearance of 50mm between the base of the appliance and a combustible surface.
There must be no overhanging surfaces, and no rangehood or exhaust system, within 750mm (Fig. 2) above
the burner tops.
If tting a 600mm bridging unit above the 700mm hob unit, the sides of adjacent cabinets may be lower than
760mm down to 334mm, provided that they are resistant to heat and steam.
Ventilation requirements: This appliance must only be used in rooms equipped with adequate ventilation.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and
moisture in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well
ventilated; keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional or more
effective ventilation, for example, opening of a window or increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation, where present.
Benchtop preparation
• Make sure the kitchen area is dry with sufcient ventilation and easy access to all control elements.
• Do not install the cooktop near curtains or other ammable materials.
• The cooktop can be tted to any benchtop with a thickness of 40-50mm.
• If you have (or plan to have) a rangehood tted above the cooktop, check in the rangehood instructions
that you will have the required clearance before starting with the installation.
• The cut-out illustration (Fig. 1) recommends a minimum 130mm gap from the wall to the cut-out edge
which once cooktop installed a minimum distance of 60mm from edge of hob from a side or rear wall.
To install the cooktop in your bench
make an opening as per Fig. 3.

MODEL: SGC62 | PRODUCT CODE: 53593 | 06/2016
Installation Cont.
Appling the Seal
The installation hardware includes four lengths of sealing tape which when applied around the hob prevents
liquid from entering the cabinet.
Follow the instructions below in order to correctly apply this sealing tape before inserting the hob into the
work surface.
• Remove the trivets, burner base and burner caps, then turn the cooktop upside down, taking care not to
damage the Spark Electrodes and the thermocouples.
• Detach the backing strip from sealing tape but ensure that the transparent adhesive still adheres to the
seal itself.
• Apply the sealing tape as illustrated below. Correctly position the sealing tape (A) under the edge, ensuring
that the outer part of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob (Fig. 4). The ends of the strips
must t together without overlapping.
• Evenly and securely x the seal to the hob, pressing it rmly in place at the underside of the hob.
• Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the aperture. This will make it difcult to remove
the cooktop from the aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be serviced.
Installation Options
When tting a gas cooktop above a drawer or standard housing unit, suitable precautions must be
taken to prevent contact with the cooktop hob and base, which becomes very hot during operation. The
recommended method for overcoming this problem is to x a wooden panel within the cabinet at a minimum
distance of 15mm below the underside of the cooktop. This panel must have adequate ventilation (V) equal or
greater than ≥ 30mm to the rear (Fig. 5).
The panel below the hob must be easily removable to enable servicing if and when required.

Affixing the Hob
Once the sealing tape has been installed around the underside of the cooktop, carefully turn it back over and
gently lower it into the aperture hole that has been cut out. Push it down gently so that the cooktop is resting
rmly on the cabinet/benchtop surface.
• Secure the cooktop in position using the mounting clamps supplied.
• There are four mounting points (1,2,3,4) on the cooktop base to afx the clamps (Fig. 6).
• Put the clamps in the location as indicated above in Fig 6 and using the screws provided, afx the clamps
(Fig. 7, B) to the cooktop and tighten the screws (Fig. 7, C) securely shown in Fig. 7. This is very important.
The other side of the clamp must be located on
the underside of the bench top, as seen in Fig. 7.

clean the cooktop regularly preferably after each use.
Stainless steel surfaces • Wipe the stainless steel cooktop surface with a soft cloth or sponge,
dampened in warm, soapy water and wrung out.
• Dry the cooktop with a clean, dry cloth.
• The stainless steel look control knobs can be removed for cleaning, if
necessary, but ensure not to damage the seal.

• Remove (Fig 17) the enamelled trivets (1) from the cooktop and the burner
caps (2) from the burner base (3) from the cooktop and clean them the
same way as the cooktop surface: with a soft cloth wrung out in warm,
soapy water.
• Remove tough stains from enamelled parts using a nonabrasive liquid
detergent, a creamy cleanser suitable for cleaning vitreous enamel or a ne
steel wool soap pad.
• The enamelled trivets may also be washed in a dishwasher.
• Do not clean the burner base (3) in a Dishwasher. Only clean with a damp
cloth.
Aluminium Parts
Review the burner parts once a month to see if they require cleaning. Check that nothing is clogging the
mechanism. Use a thin steel needle to remove any dirt, combustion residues or spilled food residues from the
burner slots.
• Remove the burner bodies from the cooktop and clean them the same way as the enamelled parts, or use
a nylon brush to remove any cleaning materials, water or dirt.
• After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Clean the ignition plugs and ame failure probes (Fig. 18) carefully with a nylon brush and methylated
spirits to ensure proper ignition and operation of the safety valves.
• Ret all burner parts to their dedicated spaces on the cooktop, ensuring they are correctly in place. The
hole in the ring of the burner ts over the ignition plug (Fig. 19). If it does not t, you are trying to t the
burner body onto the wrong burner.
• To check that all parts are reassembled correctly, light the burners and allow them to dry out.
