INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by
a registered CORGI installer, and in
accordance with existing rules and
regulations.
The relevant instructions are to be found in the
second section of this manual.
Please, ensure that, once the hob is
installed, it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective
materials, which were put on in the factory.

HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, push down the relevant control
knob and turn anticlockwise to maximum position. At
the same time push the electric ignition button which
is marked with a little spark. Then adjust the flame as
required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite normal
for the spark generator to be activated
automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should
only use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the
size of the burner used (see table).
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than
the recommended size, the flame will spread
beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the
handle to overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre.

Operation
i

7
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left
to cool.
The HobTop
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of
the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing
them by hand, take care when drying them as the
enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy
water, and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A
well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can
be used with caution, if the marks are particularly
difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Important safety requirements
This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Current
Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current
Edition).
Detailed recommendations are contained in the
following British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S.
6172/ B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current
Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installed in a
room of volume less than 5 m3an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm2is required. If it is installed in a room
of volume between 5 m3and 10 m3an air vent of
effective area of 50 cm2is required, while if the
volume exceeds 11 m3no air is required.
However, if the room has a door which opens directly
to the outside no air vent is required even if the
volume is between 5 m3 and 11 m3.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same
room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should be
consulted to determine the requisite air vent
requirements.
Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner
or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower
room.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that
there is a minimum distance of 55 mm. between the
rear edge of the hob and the wall.
A minimum distance of 100 mm. must be left
between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent
cabinets or walls.
The minimum distance combustible material can be
fitted above the hob in line with the edges of the hob
is 400 mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm. a space of 50
mm. must be allowed from the edges of the hob.
The minimum distance combustible material can be
fitted directly above the hob is 700 mm.

It is important to install the elbow correctly,
with the shoulder on the end of the thread,
fitted to the hob connecting pipe.
Failure to ensure the correct assembly will
cause leakage of gas.
FO 0814
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either
rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to
RC 1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is
essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the
hob and installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert
any strain on the hob.
Installation
IMPORTANT
This hob must be installed by qualified
personnel to the relevant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by
a registered CORGI installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability,
should the above instructions or any of the
other safety instructions incorporated in
this book be ignored.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the GJ 1/2"
threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so that the washer
is fitted between the components as shown in the
diagram. Screw the parts together without using
excessive force.

Building over a cupboard or drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or
drawer it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board
below the base of the hob on the underside of the
work surface.
Building over a kitchen unit with door
Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the
furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the
bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is
operated. The recommended solution is shown in
diagram 3.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily
removable to allow easy access if technical assistance
is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can
be used for connections.
It is also recommended to carry out the electrical
connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.

Fitting the Hob into the worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:
• put the seals supplied with the hob, on the
edges of the cut out, taking care that the seals
meet without overlapping;
• place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it
is centred;
• fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps
and screws, as shown in the diagram. When
the screws have been tightened, the excess
seal can be removed.
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which
prevents the ingress of liquids.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this
hob should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in
accordance with the current regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability
should these safety measures not be
observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a
230-240V 50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this
book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of
having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved
(BS 1362) fuse must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason,
the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
— Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to
the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or
coloured green and yellow.
— Connecttheblue (neutral)wireto theterminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N'
or coloured black.
— Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L'
or coloured red.
NOTE:
The earth wire should be about 2 cm. longer
than the live and neutral wires.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray
strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be
secure over the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp
socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of
safely.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the hob
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum
gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a
type suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not
come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

Fault Finding
Preliminary Electrical Systems Check
A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK -
Appliance must be electrically
disconnected - meter set on Ω(Ohms) x 1
scale and adjust zero if necessary.
a) Test leads from any appliance earth point
to earth pin on plug. Resistance should
be less than 0.1 Ω(Ohm), check all earth
wires for continuity and all contacts clean
and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK - Appliance
electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on Ω(Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance
terminal block. If meter reads «0» then
there is a short circuit.
b) meter set on Ω(Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeattestwithleadsfrom L to E. If meter
reads less than ∞(infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse
has failed but no fault is indicated - a
detailed continuity check (i.e. by
disconnecting and checking each
component) is required to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a
result of local burning/arcing but no fault
could be found under test. However a
detailed visual inspection should reveal
evidence of burning around the fault.

Commissioning
When the hob has been fully installed it will be
necessary to check the minimum flame setting. To do
this, follow the procedure below.
- Turn the gas tap to the MAX position and ignite.
- Set the gas tap to the MIN flame position then turn
the control knob from MIN to MAX several times.
If the flame is unstable or is extinguished follow the
procedure below.
Procedure:
Re-ignite the burner and set to MIN.
Remove the control knob.
You can find two different adjustment screw
locations according to the gas tap (see
diagram). The "b" type has the adjustment
screw located down the centre of the gas tap
control shaft. The "c" type has the by pass
screw located to the side of the gas tap
itself.
To adjust, use a thin bladed screwdriver and
turn the adjustment screw until the flame is
steady and does not extinguish, when the
knob is turned from MIN to MAX. Repeat
this procedure for all burners.
Pressure Testing
Remove left hand pan support and front left
burner cap and crown.
Fit manometer tube over the injector.
Turn on the burner gas supply and ignite
another burner supply.
The pressure reading should be nominally
20mbar and must be between 17 mbar and
25mbar.
Turn off the burner supplies.
