Installation (Flush and Traditional fitting)
Technical information for the installer
•This appliance can be installed into a 20mm - 50mm thick worktop.
•If no oven is to be installed below the hob, a panel must be fitted under the hob to prevent hob damage and protect the cupboard contents. This panel must cover the whole of the underside of the hob and must be positioned so that an air gap of at least 50mm between the panel and hob underside is maintained, as a minimum, and as a maximum 150mm to the underneath of the work surface.
•This hob is designed to operate perfectly with any oven in the KitchenAid range. The
Manufacturer declines all responsibility should another make of oven be installed.
Before installation, please ensure that:
•The gas supply (type and pressure) and the calibration on the hob are compatible (see serial number plate on the hob and the injector table).
•The cabinetry and appliances surrounding/next to the hob are heat resistant and in compliance with local regulations.
•The products of combustion are removed from the atmosphere in the room by using an extraction hood or electrical fan installed to the walls and or windows, in line with current regulations.
•The air circulates naturally through a suitable opening that is no less than 100cm2 in cross section, which must be:
-permanent and accessible on the walls of the room being ventilated and extracting towards the outside.
-created in such a way that the openings both inside and out cannot be obstructed, even by accident.
-Protected by plastic grill, and metallic netting etc. that should not reduce the 100cm2 cross section.
-Located in such a position so as not to interfere with the extraction of the products of combustion.
Gas connection
Connection to the mains gas system must be carried out by a competant, registered person, in compliance with current legislation.
•The connection of the hob to the gas mains network or gas cylinder must be done using a rigid copper or steel pipe with parts that comply with local standards, or using a flexible stainless steel pipe with continuous surfaces that comply with local standards. The flexible metallic pipe should be no longer than 2 linear metres.
•Before connecting the pipe with the rubber part (A), insert the seal (B) is in place (this part, provided complies with EN549).
Warning: if you use a stainless steel flexible pipe, it must be installed in such a way that it does not come into contact with moving cabinetry like drawers or kitchen cupboards and passes at a point free of obstacles where it can be examined in its entirety.
•After connecting to the gas mains, use soap and water to check there are no leaks.
