INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
INSTALLING A DOMESTIC APPLIANCE CAN BE A COMPLICATED OPERATION THAT IF NOT
CARRIED OUT CORRECTLY, CAN SERIOUSLY AFFECT CONSUMER SAFETY. IT IS FOR THIS
REASON THAT THE TASK SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN BY A PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED PERSON
WHO WILL CARRY IT OUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECHNICAL REGULATIONS IN FORCE.
IN THE EVENT THAT THIS ADVICE IS IGNORED AND THE INSTALLATION IS CARRIED OUT
BY AN UNQUALIFIED PERSON, THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
PRODUCT WHETHER OR NOT THE RESULTS IN INDIVIDUALS
BUILDING IN
The hob may be installed in any worktop that is heat resistant to a temperature of 100°C and has a thickness of 25-45 mm. The dimensions of the insert to be cut out of the worktop are shown in Figure 2. When there is an accessible space between the built-in hob and the cavity below, a dividing wall made of insulating material should be inserted (wood or similar material) (Figure 2). If the Hob is fitted next to a cabinet on either side, the distance is between 70 mm. The distance between the hob and any other unit or appliance above it (e.g.An extractor hood) must be no less than 70 cm (Figure 4). Metal objects in the drawer may reach high temperatures due to air recirculation. It is therefore recommended to use an intermediate wood panel. Important – The diagram in Figure 1 shows how the sealant should be applied. The Hob unit is fitted by attaching the Fixing Clamps supplied, using the holes at the base of the unit. When a 60 cm hob or a 75 cm hob is fitted over a built-in oven, the latter must be fan-cooled.
SUITABLE LOCATION
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the regulations in force
and only used in a well-ventilated space. Read the instructions before
installing or using this appliance. A gas-powered cooking appliance produces
heat and humidity in the area in which it is installed. For this reason, you
should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all-natural air passages open
or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive and
prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such as the
opening of a window or an increase in the speed of the electric fan if you
have one. If a hood can not be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to
an outside wall or window to ensure that there is adequate ventilation. The
electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the
kitchen 3-5 times every hour. The installer should follow the relevant
national standards.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (FOR U.K. ONLY)
Warning – This appliance must be earthed
This appliance is designed for domestic use only. Connection to the main
supply must be made by a competent electrician, ensuring that all current
regulations concerning such installations are observed.
The appliance must only be connected to a suitably rated spur point, a 3-pin
13 amp plug/socket is not suitable. A double pole switch must be provided and
the circuit must have appropriate fuse protection. Further details of the
power requirement of the individual product will be found in the users’
instructions and on the appliance rating plate. In the case of built-in
products you are advised, should you wish to use a longer cable than the one
supplied, that a suitably rated heat-resistant type must be used. The wiring
must be connected to the mains supply as follows: The wiring must be connected
to the mains supply as follows:
CONNECT TOSPURTERMINAL
- Green &Yellow Wire Earth Connection
- Blue Wire Neutral Connection
- Brown Wire Live Connection
Note: We do not advocate the use of earth leakage devices with Electric
cooking appliances installed to spur points because of the «nuisance tripping»
that may occur. You are again reminded that the
The appliance must be correctly earthed, the manufacturer must decline any
responsibility for any event occurring as a result of incorrect electrical
installation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check the data on the rating plate, located on the outside of the unit, to
ensure that the supply and input voltage are suitable. By Law, this appliance
must be earthed. If this regulation is not complied with, the Manufacturer
will not be responsible for any damage caused to persons or property. If a
plug is not already attached, fit a plug appropriate to the load indicated on
the rating plate. The earth wire is colored yellow/green. The plug should
always be accessible. If the power supply cord is damaged this is to be
replaced by a qualified engineer so as to prevent any potential risk. Where
the Hob is connected directly to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker
must be fitted.
The section of the cable used must be of the correct size in relation to the absorbed power of the hob. Please check the rating plate for the power details and ensure that the power supply cord is of the type 3×0.75 mm² for 60-75cm hobs or H05-V2V2-F for 75cm hobsIf an appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the instructions shall state that means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
GAS CONNECTION
These instructions are for qualified personnel, installation of equipment must
be in line with the relevant national standard. (For U.K. only: by law, the
gas installation\commissioning must be carried out by a “Gas Safe” installer)
All work must be carried out with the electricity supply disconnected. The
rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is designed to be
used. Connection to the mains gas supply or gas cylinder should be carried out
after having checked that it is regulated for the type of gas with which it
will be supplied. If it is not correctly regulated see the instructions in the
following paragraphs to change the gas setting. For liquid gas (cylinder gas)
use pressure regulators which comply with the relevant national standards. Use
only pipes, washers, and sealing washers that comply with the relevant
national standards. For some models a conic link is furnished to outfit for
the installation in the countries where this type of link is obligatory; in
picture 8 it is pointed out how to recognize the different types of links (CY
= cylindrical, CO = conic). In every case, the cylindrical part of the link
has to be connected to the hob. When connecting the hob to the gas supply via
the use of flexible hoses please ensure that the maximum distance covered by
the hose does not exceed 2 metres. The flexible tube shall be fitted in such a
way that it cannot come into contact with a moveable part of the housing unit
(e.g. a drawer) and does not pass through any space where it may become
crushed/ kinked or damaged in any way. To prevent any potential damage to the
hob please carry out the installation following this sequence (picture 6):
1)As illustrated, assemble parts in sequence:
- 1/2 MaleAdaptor Cylindrical
- 1/2 Seal
- 1/2 Female GasAdaptor Conical-Cylindirical or Cylindirical-Cylindirical2) Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the pipes into position.
- Attach fitting C to the mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or flexible steel pipe.
IMPORTANT : Carry out a final check for leaks on the pipe connections
using a soapy solution. NEVER USE A FLAME. Also, make sure that the flexible
pipe cannot come into contact with a moving part of the cabinet (eg. a drawer)
and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.
Warning: If gas can be smelt in the vicinity of this appliance turn off
the gas supply to the appliance and call the engineer directly. Do not search
for a leak with a naked flame.
ADAPTING THE HOB TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS
To adapt the Hob for use with different types of gas, carry out the
following instructions:
- Remove the grids and burners
- Insert on hexagonal spanner (7 mm) into the burner support (Figure)
- Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used (see gas type table)
REGULATING THE MINIMUM FLAME
After lighting the burners, turn the control knob to the minimum setting and
then remove the knob (this can easily be removed by applying gentle pressure).
Using a small «Terminal» type screwdriver the regulating screw can be adjusted
as in Figure 9. Turning the screw clockwise reduces the gas flow, whilst
turning it anticlockwise increases the flow – Use this adjustment to obtain a
flame of approximately 3 to 4 mm in length and then replace the control knob.
When the gas supply available is LPG – the screw to set the idle flame must be
turned (clockwise) to the end stop. When you have carried out the new gas
regulation, replace the old gas rating plate on your appliance with one
(supplied with a hob) suitable for the type of gas for which it has been
regulated.
