• Remove the wire clamp screw.
• Fasten the wires beneath the corresponding screw heads, using brass ‘bridge’ for single phase supply.
• Fasten cable clamp and close the cover of the terminal board.
• The ac power supply should be 220-240 V, 50/60 Hz. For electric cookers, the minimum 45A fuse, or at least 45A a distribution circuit breaker. For gas cookers, the minimum 10A fuse, or at least 10A circuit breaker.

Warning: Connect the power cord must be in accordance with the instructions listed in the table below

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install an approved circuit breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm, between the appliance and the mains fuse box .The circuit breaker should be sized according to the load and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker).

The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 50℃with respect to the room temperature, anywhere along its length Before switching fuse ON in meter-box check:

• Earth continuity. The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the cooker is correctly installed and earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical installations.
• The electrical capacity of the system and sockets will support the maximum power of the appliance, as indicated on the data plate
• Go to section “Installing your new cooker”

Installation of the anti-tilt plate

• Determine position of cooker and ant-tilt plate.
• Securely fix the anti-tilt plate to the floor with appropriate fasteners.
• Remove front kick plate to obtain access to stability bolt, by removing screws from top of the kick plate. Removing the oven door will make this procedure easier.
• Fasten the stability bolt bracket to the front frame with the 2 screws supplied.
• Reposition the cooker back into the anti-tilt plate and then mark the position of the stability bolt hole.
• Pull the cooker back out and drill the bolt location hole. Use a 10mm masonry or wood drill. When drilling into concrete ensure a minimum hole depth of 30mm.
• Reposition the cooker back into the anti-tilt plate, aligning the stability bolt bracket with the 10mm drilled hole. Then slide the bolt through the bracket and into the hole.
• Connect Electricity supply/gas supply but do not turn on until installation is completed.
• Slide the cooker back into the anti-tilt plate so that rear cover rests against the rear wall. Then check the height and level of the cooker. If required, pull the cooker back out and adjust the leveling feet as required.
• Re-fit kick plate as per the illustration below

Installing the gas cooker

Unpacking

When packaging is removed from product you will notice there are several items nested in the packaging base. The burner crowns, burner caps and trivets to be fitted to the hob.

Note: That Wok trivet is a different size and must be correctly located over Wok burner.

Locating the cooker

This appliance must be installed by an authorised person in accordance with this instruction manual, AS/NZS 5601 – Gas installations (installation and pipe sizing), local gas fitting regulations, local electrical regulations, local water regulations, local health regulations, Building Code of Australia and any other government authority.

Overhead clearances—(Measurement A) Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s relevant instructions. However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the gas cooking appliance and a range hood be less than 600 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm.

Side clearances—(Measurements B, & C) Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface , or vertical combustible surface covered with toughened glass or sheet metal, is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area. Where the gas cooking appliance is fitted with a ‘splashback’, protection of the rear wall is not required.

Additional requirements for freestanding and elevated gas cooking appliances— (Measurements D & E). Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than 200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet.

Gas type

Before installation check that the cooker is suitable for the gas supply. The cookers are manufactured for both Natural gas or Universal LPG, check the gas type label located on appliance. If the cooker is required to be converted to a different gas type, a conversion kit can be obtained by contacting the Customer Care Centre.

The isolating manual shut-off valve connection point must be installed and accessible when the appliance is in position. Gas inlet is located at the top rear right hand side, 50mm from the edge. This appliance is suitable for connection with rigid pipe or flexible hose. For flexible hose connection, the flexible hose assembly must be certified to AS/NZS 1869 class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter for the total gas consumption, be kept as short as possible (not exceeding 1200mm), must not be in contact with the floor or any hot or sharp surfaces. The hose assembly must not be subject to strain, abrasion, kinking or deformation.

Gas connection

The gas inlet connection of the appliance has a “male thread.” When making the connection, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the appliance.

A – Gas Inlet

B – Gasket

C – Gas installation

Natural Gas: the supplied regulator must be fitted to the appliance inlet connection. Gas pressure must be adjusted to 1.0 kPa when the auxiliary, semi rapid and rapid burners are set to high flame, the appliance test point is located on the regulator.

LPG: the supplied test point adaptor must be fitted to the appliance inlet connection. Gas pressure must be adjusted to 2.75 kPa, when the auxiliary, semi rapid and rapid burners are set to high flame, the appliance test point is located on the test point adaptor.

When the installation is complete, always performance a gas leakage check that all the unions are absolutely tight using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this check.

Safety warnings about installation

• The cooker must be installed and serviced only by an authorized person.
• A certificate of compliance must be supplied by Installer and is to be kept by the customer.
• The packing materials must be removed before you install the cooker.

• Screw in splash back from behind to secure in place.

Testing the operation of the gas cooker

Gas leakage and operation of the appliance must be tested by the installer before leaving. Check all burner flames are blue in colour, stable and completely ignite at both high and low flame settings with no appreciable yellow tipping, carbon deposition, lifting, floating, lighting back or objectionable odour. Test burners individually and in combination.

When maximum flame appearance is correct, then check the turn-down setting on each burner. If the settings appear to be incorrect, proceed as follows:

• Adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock. This is accessible when the control knob and the control panel are removed.
• Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
• Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
• If you are satisfied that the cooker is operating correctly, then turn it off and show the customer how to use it. Make sure you ask the customer to operate the clock and controls.

Where the data plate is obscured by cabinetry when the cooker is in the installed position, place the supplied duplicate data plate to a suitable adjacent surface or within the instruction manual for future reference.
