VENTILATION RECOMMENDATION
The room must have an opening window or equivalent, some rooms may also require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5-10m3, it will require an air vent of 50cm2 effective area, unless it has a door which opens directly to the outside. If the room has a volume of less than 5m3, it will require an air vent of 100cm2 effective area (Fig. 1). When using more than one hotplate at once, open a window if a mechanical extractor is not present or working (Fig. 3).
(*) Air inlet minimum section: 100cm2

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Remove all packaging and make sure the appliance is in perfect condition. If you have any doubts, do not use the appliance and call your supplier.. Some parts on the appliance are protected by a plastic film. This protective film must be removed before the appliance is used.

The packaging materials should be carefully discarded and not left within easy reach of children as they are a potential hazard.

INSTALLING AND FIXING THE HOB (QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY)
The appliance can be fitted to any worktop with a thickness of 40mm or 50mm. No overhanging surface or cooker hood from Hob should be 650mm Fix the appliance in position (Fig. 4). The sides of the adjacent cabinets above may be lower than 650mm down to 400mm, provided they are heat and steam resistant.

These hobs are supplied with a special seal which prevents liquids from seeping underneath the appliance. Follow these instructions in order to correctly fit this seal:
Detach the seals from their backing ensuring that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal. Turn the hob over and correctly position seal S (Fig. 5) under the edge of the hob so that the outer part of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob. The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping. Fix the seal to the hob evenly and securely, pressing it firmly in place.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS
When fitting a gas hob above a drawer or a standard housing unit, suitable precautions must be taken to prevent contact with the hotplate surface as it can become very hot during operation. The recommended method is to fix a wooden panel within the cabinet at a distance of 15mm below the underside of the hob (Fig. 6).
This panel must have adequate ventilation to the rear.

The panel underneath the hob must be easily removable to allow for any servicing requirements.

INSERTING AND FIXING THE HOB

Before inserting the hob into the work surface, place the adhesive seal (a) (Fig. 7) around the underside edge of the hob. It is important to fix this seal evenly without gaps or overlap to prevent liquids from seeping underneath the hob. Please follow the below instructions:

1. Remove the pan stands and burner caps before turning the hob upside down, taking care not to damage the ignition plugs and thermocouples.
2. Place the seal around the bottom edge of the hob as shown in the illustration below.
3. Place the hob in the installation opening and push it down so that the hob is resting firmly on the worktop.
4. Secure the hob in position using the fixing brackets supplied.

Screw one end of the bracket into the pre-drilled holes in the underside of the hob. The other end of the bracket should be located underneath the worktop to secure the hob in position.

GAS CONNECTION (QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY)
The appliance has an G 1/2″ threaded pipe connector to connect it to the gas system. Please ensure that the connection is made using an approved gas pipe fitting.When making the gas connection, it is important to place the gasket (A) in between the inlet pipe (C) and the elbow (B) to ensure a tight gas seal (Fig. 8).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance must be connected to the mains supply by a qualified gas engineer using fixed wiring via a double pole switched fused spur outlet protected by a 3A fuse and with a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles.

We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician.

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

• Green & Yellow = Earth
• Blue = Neutral
• Brown = Live

Before Leaving
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame for each burner individually and concurrently. When satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.

NATURAL GAS TO LPG CONVERSION
This conversion must only be carried out by a competent person (i.e. a Gas Safe registered fitter). Instructions to fit replacement injectors:

1. Disconnect the appliance from the gas and electrical supplies.
2. Remove burner components “B” and pan supports (Fig. 9).
3. Remove the injectors “A” (Fig. 9) with a socket spanner and replace with the corresponding injectors.

Setting up minimum flow rates:

1. Remove the control knobs “M” (Fig. 10).
2. Turn on the LP gas supply, light the burners and turn the controls to the minimum position as indicated by the small flame.
3. Insert a small screwdriver “D” (Fig. 10) into the hole at the top of the tap “C” and turn the adjustment screw left or right until the flame of the burner is conveniently regulated to the low position.
4. Make sure when turning quickly from full position to reduced rate position that the flame does not extinguish.
5. Replace the knobs.
