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 ANY TECHNICAL FAILURE OF THE PRODUCT WHETHER OR NOT IT RESULTS IN DAMAGE TO GOODS OR INJURY TO INDIVIDUALS.
1.1 BUILDING IN
The hob may be installed in any worktop which 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 in 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 between the Hob and the cabinet must be at least 17 cm (60cm) or 25 cm (75cm) (see Figure 2); while the distance between the hob and the rear wall must be at least 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.
1.2. 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

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:

CONNECT
Green & Yellow Wire
Blue Wire
Brown Wire| TO SPUR TERMINAL
Earth Connection
Neutral Connection
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» which may occur. You are again reminded that the appliance must be correctly earthed, the manufacturer declines any responsibility for any event occurring as a result of incorrect electrical installation.
2.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check the data on the rating plate, located on the outside of the unit, to ensure that the supply and input voltage is suitable. Before connection, check the earthing system.
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. Where the Hob is connected directly to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker must be fitted. If the power supply cord is damaged this is to be replaced by a qualified engineer so as to prevent any potential risk.
The earth wire ( green and yellow colored) must be at least 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires.
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 type 3×0.75 mm² H05 V2V2-F for 60-75cm hobs (L1 & L2 layouts) and H05 GG-F for 75cm (L3 layout) hobs.

If 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.
2.2. GAS CONNECTION
These instructions are for qualified personnel, installation of equipment must be in line with the relevant national standard. (For the 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; 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 meters.
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:
   A: 1/2 Male Adaptor Cylindrical
   B: 1/2 Seal
   C: 1/2 Female Gas Adaptor Conical-Cylindrical or Cylindrical-Cylindrical

2. Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the pipes into position.

3. 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.
2.3. 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 (Figure7)
• Unscrew the injector and replace it with one suitable for the gas to be used (see gas type table)

2.4. 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 Turning the screw clockwise reduces the Figure 9.
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.
