• The bench cut-out should be made as per the relevant cutout dimensions shown above. It is most critical that the cut-out chosen corresponds to your cooktop model.
• IMPORTANT: Ensure that the appliance is installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1 with regard to clearances to combustible surfaces and materials, and clearances to rangehoods and exhaust fans. This is necessary to avoid possible damage to the cabinets during oven usage over time.
• To ensure clearances to combustible surfaces observe the minimum distance requirements, corresponding to your model.
• Appliance clearances: 600mm to from the top of the nearest burner overhead, 150mm from the periphery of the nearest burner to side, 150mm from the periphery of the nearest burner to back walls.

Installation Procedure

• A barrier must be installed to prevent accidental contact with the cooktop base, where the base of the cooktop is accessible from below (i.e. Inside a cupboard, etc.).
• A minimum clearance of 25mm must be maintained between the base and the barrier. This barrier must be made of any non-combustible, rigid material.
• Ensure that there is an earthed power outlet within 900mm of the rear right-hand side of the cooktop when installed. This should be accessible at all times.
• A self-adhesive foam tape has been provided to act as a sealing agent and is to be placed around the edge of the hob underside. Ensure there are no gaps when applying the tape.
• Take care to ensure that the seals meet without overlapping. The thickness of this foam tape is 3mm and the width is 10mm. Avoid leaving any visible excess seal after installation is complete.
• WARNING: Do not use any kind of silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the benchtop. This will make it difficult to remove the appliance, which must be accessible for the service agent to perform any necessary repairs in the future.
• Clamps and screws are supplied with your cooktop. Fit the pull-down clamps supplied to ensure that the cooktop cannot move after installation. Refer to the diagram shown below, and the relevant instructions.
• WARNING: Failure to fix the cooktop to the bench could result in the loosening of the gas connection through the movement of the cooktop and a gas leak may result.
• If your benchtop is less than 35mm in thickness, it may be necessary to fit a spacer between the benchtop and each clamp to ensure they can be tightened sufficiently.

Fitting the Clamps
Before resuming, ensure you have applied the sealing strips. Always wear appropriate protection while carrying out installation, such as gloves and fully enclosed shoes. To continue with the installation, ensure you have on hand: a screwdriver, a soft towel, the supplied clamps, and screws.

1. Ensure that any loose burner components and trivets have been removed from the cooktop.
2. Place the hob upside down on a soft surface to protect both the hob and your work surface from damage.
3. Place the bracket (B) over the holes that match the size of the screws. There are one set of screw holes in each corner of the hob. Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the bracket (B) so that the bracket is attached to the hob whilst still allowing you to adjust its position.
4. In a team of two, carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out in your benchtop.
5. On the underside of the hob, adjust the brackets into a position that is suitable for your benchtop.
6. Then fully tighten the screws (C) to secure the cooktop into its final position.

Elbow Positioning
Assembly of elbow to manifold at rear of unit requires two spanners to secure locking nut and ensure leak free connection. For this reason, the elbow is best secured onto the cooktop manifold before installing the unit into the benchtop.

• It is possible to reposition the elbow if required by loosening the locking nut and elbow using two spanners. Re-tighten the entire assembly after the elbow has been repositioned. When fitting the elbow to the appliance, ensure that the sealing washer is fitted.
• Begin by loosening the elbow, then adjust the elbow interface to the necessary direction as required. Keep the hexagonal head of the elbow motionless with a wrench.
• Use a 9 1N.m torque wrench to tighten the black bolt of the gas inlet pipe assembly. Ensure that the torque of the wrench is within the required range to prevent elbow breakage or damage caused by excessive force.
• After the installation is tightened, check whether the parts are in good condition and test the air tightness to ensure the tightness of the installation. The installer is responsible for the results of the process.

Operating with Natural Gas

• Your appliance is designed to run both LPG and natural gas. Conversion for use of LPG and substitute natural gases must only be undertaken by a qualified person. Despite your appliance having been set up for use with natural gas, it can be converted for use with LPG. To learn more please refer to the LPG Conversion section on page 10.

Supply Pipe Sizing

• The total hourly gas consumption for the appliance is shown on the rating label. The required supply pressure (i.e. at the inlet to appliance regulator) for each gas type is also shown on the rating label and is shown in the Technical Specifications chapter found on.

Example of MJ/h Values

• Auxiliary Output: 4.0MJ/h
• Semi-Rapid Output : 6.9MJ/h
• Rapid Output: 11.5MJ/h
• Wok Output: 19.7MJ/h
• Use this information in conjunction with the length of run, number of elbows, tees, and bends the available service pressure, and the supply requirements of other installed appliances to determine a suitable pipe size.
• For assistance in this matter refer to the appropriate section of AS/NZS 5601.1.
• An AS/NZS 1869 certified class B or D flexible connection may be used to connect the cooktop in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1, in particular section 5.9 and clause 6.10.1.
• Where a hose assembly is used and the cooktop is in the installed position, the hose assembly shall be suitable for connection to a fixed consumer piping outlet located at a point of 800–850mm above the floor and in the region outside the width of the appliance to a distance of 250mm. The point of connection to consumer piping must be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Assembling the Gas Regulator
An appliance regulator is provided. The regulator must be positioned so that the pressure test nipple is accessible when the appliance is installed.

• Connect the gas supply to the ½” B.S.P. internal thread inlet of the regulator. See the cut-out diagrams on page 06 for the ideal connection point position.
• The assembly of the regulator to the cooktop manifold is achieved by using both the supplied elbow union and sealing washer, for a visual aid please refer to the diagram below.
• The ½” parallel thread connects to the manifold, and the sealing washer is placed between the manifold end and the flat face on the elbow.
• The ½” tapered thread connects to the outlet of the regulator and is sealed on the thread either by using an approved thread sealing tape, or an approved thread sealing compound.
• The inlet of the regulator is a ½” parallel thread and is connected to consumer piping or hose assembly.
• Regulators are supplied pre-adjusted and configured by the component maker for use with Natural Gas. The appliance installer is not required to adjust to obtain the correct outlet pressure setting.
• An arrow on the base of the regulator indicates the direction of gas flow when the inlet and outlet of the regulator are orientated correctly. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.

Testing the Gas Supply
Check the manometer zero point is correct. Then connect the manometer to the cooktop pressure point. This is located on the regulator. Turn on the gas supply and electricity and try to ignite the gas. Note that it will take additional time to light the gas for the first time as air needs to be purged from the pipes. Following this, with the appliance operating, carefully check the outlet pressure:

• First with all burners operating at maximum, followed by operating. The smallest burner at minimum.
• Under these conditions, the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 1.00kPa by more than  0.20kPa. If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily, then check the following points:
• If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line.
• If this is suspected then it may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range of 1.13 – 5kPa.
• Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation, the arrow on the base of the body indicates the direction of gas flow.

Once these checks have been completed, if the regulator still fails to perform satisfactorily it should be replaced.

Nominal Test Point Pressures:

• Natural Gas = 1.00kPa
• LPG = 2.75kPa

LPG Conversion
Your cooktop has been set up for natural gas usage, however a conversion kit is included with the product for universal LPG usage. The conversion kit contains the appropriate injectors and an LPG sticker. Please follow the procedure below if a conversion to suit UNIVERSAL LPG is required:

• Remove the hotplate trivets, burner caps, and burner crowns to access the hotplate injectors. Replace the factory-fitted injectors with the appropriate injectors, as supplied. Refer to the injector orifice table for injector sizes. The injector size is stamped on the side of the injector.
• Connect the brass test point adapter (pictured previously on page 08) using approved gas thread tape or compound to the elbow fitting.
• Turn on the gas supply and at each new connection check for leaks using soapy water. Each hotplate valve should be turned on, one at a time, and the injector hole blanked off for several seconds.
• With the appliance operating, check the outlet pressure both when all burners of the appliance are operating at maximum, and when the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum. Under these conditions, the outlet pressure should not vary from the nominal outlet pressure of 2.75kPa by more than  0.55kPa.
• One by one, turn the knobs to a minimum and screw in the bypass screw (accessible when the knob is removed) until a small stable flame results; a length of 3–4mm. Turn the knob to maximum and then back to minimum to ensure that the correct minimum flame is maintained.
• Attach the LPG sticker to the cooker, near the gas supply inlet. Cover the natural gas label that is factory-fitted.
• The process of LPG conversion is then complete.

Electrical Connection
Your Omega cooktop has been designed to operate on a power supply voltage of 220-240V, single phase, and has been fitted with a 10 amp, 3-pin plug. Before making the electrical connection, ensure that the following points are observed:

• Confirm that your electrical system can withstand the load of the appliance, for further information please see your cooktop’s rating label.
• Ensure that the power supply system’s earth connection is in good condition and that it accords with the relevant regulations in force.
• Make sure that the general-purpose outlet is easily accessible once the appliance has been installed.

The power supply lead must be positioned so that it does not exceed 50°C above room temperature. An ideal setup is shown in the diagram below. The electrical cable is guided by clips fixed to the back side of the cabinet, this helps to avoid any potential contact with appliances that may be underneath the cooktop.

Testing Appliance Operation
After installation, test the appliance and ensure that it operates correctly before handing it over to the customer. The following procedure is recommended:

• Begin by turning on the gas and electricity supply, then attempt to ignite all of the burners, both separately and
  In combination. Note that additional time may need to be allowed for the initial lighting, as air has to be purged from the pipes.

• Observe the flame appearance on each burner, shown in the diagram above. If it is much larger or much smaller than expected, the injector size and supply pressure require checking. Where a flame is unsatisfactory, refer to the troubleshooting guide on page 25 to correct the fault. If the troubleshooting guide does not solve the problem, please call our friendly After Sales Support Team.

• When all the foregoing is satisfactory, check the turn down (minimum or low) setting on each burner, as this may need adjustment. Valves have a bypass controlling screw, which may be accessed by removing the knob, as shown in the diagram to the right. This screw will be located on a particular area of the valve. Normally, this will have been correctly set at the factory for use on natural gas (NG) and should not require adjustment.

• IMPORTANT: If the appliance has been converted to LPG, then the bypass screw will HAVE to be screwed in until a small, stable flame results.

• IMPORTANT: ensure the supply pressure has been checked before any adjustment.

If the cooktop’s flame cannot be adjusted to perform safely inform the customer of the problem and affix an appropriate warning notice to the appliance. If the fault appears to be dangerous the appliance should be disconnected. If a minor fault exists, the customer may wish to use the appliance while awaiting service. If a fault cannot be fixed, please call our friendly After Sales Support Team at 1300 11 4357. The customer should be advised that, in the event of a fault, the local service organization or the retailer from whom the appliance was purchased should be contacted. When satisfied that the unit is operating correctly, turn it off and instruct the customer on the correct operation as outlined in this booklet. Ask the customer to operate the controls to ensure that the correct procedure is understood.

CAUTION: Servicing must only be carried out by an authorized service technician. Injector sizes required for various gas types are shown in the Technical Specifications chapter found on pages 13 through 19 and may depend on your model. The appliance test point pressure for each gas type is also shown. For model identification after installation, an additional rating label sticker has been provided. This sticker is to be stuck onto adjacent cabinetry.

Operating Your Cooktop

Cooking With Your Gas Cooktop

• Place a suitable pan on the burner you wish to use, following page 18’s cookware guide. Make sure that the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooktop are clean and dry, and that there are no cracks or oil build-up present.
• To begin cooking, take note of the burner you wish to use and find the corresponding control knob. Press down for approximately 5 seconds, and the flames will then emit. Note that the heat level must be set within the ‘LOW’ to ‘MAX’ settings.
• When you have finished cooking, turn the control knob clockwise towards the ‘OFF’ position, and once the flames from the burner have dispersed, simply let go. Note that the burner that was previously used will be hot for some time, so caution should always be exercised even after cooking is over.
• Your cooktop has been fitted with an electric ignition. When the cooktop has been connected and the power is on, pressing any knob will release sparks to all burners, instantly. However, in the absence of electrical power, for example, a local power outage, you can carry out the ignition directly to the burner with a hand-held ignition source, such as a lighter.

Choice of Burner
Below is a guide to using your cooktop’s burners:

• Auxiliary: For special low heat and slow cooking. Cookware Size: Ø 120mm – Ø 160mm.
• Semi-Rapid: For normal cooking and simmering. Cookware Size: Ø 160mm – Ø 180mm.
• Rapid Burner: For fast heating with medium pots. Cookware Size: Ø 200mm – Ø 240mm.
• Wok Burner: For quick heating with large cookware. Cookware Size Ø 200mm – Ø 240mm.

For best results, center your cookware on the desired burner and adjust the flame level so that it does not extend past the cookware’s edge. Below are some examples of pot placement.

Choice of Cookware
Many common pots and pans, such as those made from aluminum, ceramic, cast iron, and stainless steel may be used on your new gas cooktop. Ensure that the pots or pans are steady and have flat bases to avoid dangerous spill-over of hot liquids and wasted energy. Do not use cookware with jagged edges, coarse or uneven surfaces, chipped bottoms, or a curved base. Make sure that the base of your cookware is smooth, sits flat against the trivets, and is the same size as the chosen burner, and always center your pan on the cooking zone. For best practice, gently lift cookware off the trivets—avoid sliding them, as the bottom of your cookware, and the trivets’ surface may become scratched.

Care & Maintenance

Before Cleaning

• Read this user manual carefully, taking special note of the ‘Safety Information’ chapter in particular.
• Before cleaning ensure that the cooktop is both turned off and has been given the chance to properly cool down.
• NEVER place trivets or burners in the dishwasher, instead opt for hand-washing followed by immediate drying.

SafeSlide Trivets & Cooktop Burners

• Trivets and burners can be lifted and removed for cleaning. See page 16 for a guide to burner assembly.
• Persistent stains may require some rubbing with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers. Household enamel cleaners are available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for their use. Harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool, or wax polishes should not be used.
• Always thoroughly dry burners after cleaning or spillage. When cleaning them, ensure that all the flame ports are free of any blockage. If necessary, you can use a toothpick or brush to clear ports.
• The outer surface of the burner caps has a polished finish; extra care needs to be taken to avoid scratching during cleaning. In instances of heavy soiling, it may be necessary to apply a non-abrasive cleaning compound and rub with a cloth until the soiling is removed.

Ignition Spark Plug & Flame Sensor

• Gently clean both with a damp cloth to avoid lighting difficulties. Ensure that they are dry before use.

Cooktop Surface

• CAUTION: In some cases, it is helpful to clean up and remove spillages immediately, while the hob is still hot. This is especially the case for sugary foods such as jam, or melted plastics and foil; all of which can damage the hob if left. If cleaning while the cooktop is hot, exercise caution and wear protective clothing.

Stainless Steel

• Stainless steel surfaces may discolor over time. This is normal due to the high cooking temperatures. Each time the cooktop is used, it should be cleaned with a product that is safe and suitable for stainless steel, such as a soft cloth or sponge with detergent and warm water.

Gas on Glass

• The cooktop’s surface material is made of toughened glass, manufactured to the highest possible standards
  for both safety and reliability. However, it must always be remembered that as it is glass, it may break, so always take care of it. To clean the glass surface, use a soft cloth or sponge with detergent and warm water.

• WARNING: If the surface of the cooktop becomes cracked, switch off the appliance immediately to avoid the possibility of electric shock. A cracked cooktop is considered a serious fault, and if it occurs you should contact our After Sales Support Team immediately.

Burner Injector Jet

• Ensure the injector remains free of any foreign material. If necessary, use a thin piece of wire to clear the orifice.

For Serious Faults

• Some minor faults can be fixed by referring to the table above, however, if an emergency or serious fault occurs, immediately set all controls to their off positions and disconnect the power from the source.
• If a serious fault occurs, DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself, instead wait for a service agent to do so.
• For assistance or to organize an authorized service agent contact our After Sales Support by calling 1300 11 4357, or by emailing support@residentiagroup.com.au.
• Please note that if a service agent is asked to attend whilst the product is under warranty and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call-out charge.
• The appliance must be accessible for the service agent to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that a service agent is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then they will not complete a repair.
• Please refer to the Warranty Information to learn more.
