• Never leave the packaging materials (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails, etc.) within children’s reach since they could become potential sources of danger.

When the appliance is installed so that the base can be touched, we recommend fitting a protecting shield. This shield must be at least 70 mm below the base of the bench top. Timber or other suitable material may be used provided it is capable of withstanding the appliance temperatures. Ensure that the supply connection point is accessible with the appliance installed. To facilitate the shield may need to be removable.

The cooktop has a special seal which prevents liquid from getting into the cabinet. Strictly comply with the following instructions in order to correctly apply this seal:

• Take off all the movable parts of the hob.
• Cut the seal in 4 parts of the necessary length to positioning it on the 4 edges of the glass.
• Overturn the cooktop and correctly position seal “E” (fig. 1) under the edge of the cooktop itself, so that the outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the cooktop. The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping. Evenly and securely fix the seal to the cooktop, pressing into place with the fingers and remove the strip of protective paper from the seal and set the plate into the hole made in the cabinet.
• Position the hob in the hole in the unit and fasten it in place using the appropriate screws “F” and the fastening hooks “G” (fig. 2).
  NOTE: the power supply cable must be long enough to permit its upward extraction.

Caution: Do not allow the glass (A) lay directly on the work top. It is the bottomshelf (B) that has to be in touch with the work top (see fig. above).

GAS CONNECTION

• Before installation, check that the gas type (natural gas or Universal LPG) of the cooker is suitable for the gas type available for the installation. Check that the gas supply pressure is consistent with the values indicated in the “Injectors table.” This will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption.
• For ULPG models, the gas supply for the hotplate must be regulated to a pressure of 2.75kPa. The gas inlet connection fitting is 1/2″ B.S.P female thread (in compliance with ISO 7 thread).
• For NG models, the gas supply is connected to a regulator, which is supplied. The inlet connection has ½” B.S.P female thread. THE ELBOW ON THE APPLIANCE MUST BE HELD FIRMLY WITH A
• SPANNER. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. The regulated pressure for NG is 1.00kPa.
• A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas line, in an accessible position external to the hotplate, so that the gas supply can be shut-off in the event of an emergency or service.
• The gas connection is located in the rear and on the right hand underside of these appliances:
  • 24 mm (mod: GGW610NBAUS),
  • 230 mm (mod: GGW870NBAUS).
  • A. The hot plate can be connected with rigid pipe as specified in AS/NZS 5601.
  • B. If installing with a hose assembly, install with a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZS 1869, 10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long and in accordance with AS/NZS 5601. Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hot plate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance that may be installed underneath or next to the hot plate. The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length with the hot plate in the installed position. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and all connections tested for gas leaks.
  • Warning: ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue or flue outlet of an underteach oven.

Natural Gas

• Natural Gas installations require the connection of a gas regulator at the appliance. This regulator is supplied with the appliance on purchase. Assemble the regulator (noting the gas flow direction) and transition pieces (supplied with the appliance), in accordance with figure 3. The transition piece on the supply side of the regulator must be provided by the installer.
• Liquified Petroleum Gas
• In a ULP Gas installation the gas pressure regulation is provided at the supply cylinder located outdoors, and an additional regulator at the appliance is not required. To connect supply to the appliance use transition pieces as shown in figure 4. These pieces are supplied with the appliance on purchase.
• After installing the gas supply and making all connections check thoroughly for possible leaks. Turn all control knobs on the unit to the “OFF” position. Open the valve on the gas supply. Using a soap and water solution, check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection. The presence of bubbles will indicate a leak. Tighten the fitting and re-check for leaks. If it is not possible to correct the leak, replace the fitting. Under no circumstance use matches or flame for checking leaks.
• Turn on the appliance gas cock and light each burner. Check for a clear blue flame without yellow tipping. If burners show any abnormalities check the following:
  • Burner cap on correctly
  • Burner positioned correctly
  • Burner vertically aligned with injector nipple
• In some cases, the burners will fail to ignite immediately and seem to blow lightly when they do ignite; this is usually due to air in the gas pipe, which should clear itself within seconds of operation. If satisfactory performance cannot be obtained after following the instructions given, contact your After Sales Service for advice and assistance.
