Installation
Unpacking the appliance
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Unpack the appliance but keep all packaging materials until
you have made sure your new gas cooktop is undamaged and in perfect
condition. If you have any doubts, do not use the appliance and call our
after sales support centre for advice.
• The carton is recyclable. Whenever possible, reuse the carton and recycle
it when disposing of the packaging materials.
• Some parts on the appliance are protected by a plastic lm. This protec-
tive lm must be removed before the appliance is used. We recommend
carefully slitting the plastic lm along the edges with a sharp knife, but
take care not to damage the cooktop surface.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young
children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and
disposed of safely.
WARNING: Professional installation only!
• This cooktop must be correctly installed by an authorised, licensed
gastter/plumber only, in accordance with Gas Installation Code
AS NZS 5601, all other applicable rules and regulations and all
instructions in this manual. It is in your interest and that of your safety
to ensure compliance.
• Do not try to install the cooktop yourself! Doing so will expose you
to danger and void the warranty. Improper 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 on the opposite page for ventilation.
• Any adjustments, conversions and maintenance of this product may
only be carried out by an appropriately authorised person, as mentioned
above.

Important installation advice
• Natural gas / ULPG: This appliance is intended for use with natural gas. If
it is to be used with LPG, follow the conversions instructions on page 19.
• 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
cooktop must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 20m3.
If used with LPG, the cooktop shall not be installed in a room or space
below ground level, such as in a basement.
• 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.
• 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.
Important clearances: please note!
• 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.
• 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 above the burner tops.
• If tting a 600mm bridging unit above the 700mm cooktop unit, the sides
of adjacent cabinets may be lower than 650mm down to 400mm, provided
that they are resistant to heat and steam.

Installation (Cont.)
Applying the seal
The installation hardware includes four lengths of sealing tape which when
applied around the cooktop prevents liquid from entering the cabinet.
Follow the instructions below in order to correctly apply this sealing tape
before inserting the cooktop into the work surface.
• Remove the enamelled trivets and the burner caps, then turn the cooktop
upside down, taking care not to damage the ignition plugs and the
thermocouples.
• Detach the backing strip from the 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 cooktop (Fig. 4). The ends of the strips
must t together without overlapping.
• Evenly and securely x the seal to the cooktop, pressing it rmly in place
at the underside of the cooktop.
• 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.
