Installation Instructions
Standards Requirements
Australian and New Zealand Gas Installation Standards (AS5601, NZS 5261) require a cooktop to be installed so that the surface temperature of any nearby combustible surface will not exceed 65oC above ambient.
Typically this is achieved by: |
| |
A Having the cooktop spaced away from |
| |
the wall (see “Clearances” for dimensions) |
| |
[Dimension c and d] |
| |
OR | CG903 | |
B by protecting the wall, to at least 150 mm | ||
high [Dimension g] along it’s length, with | CG603, | |
| ||
- 5 mm thick ceramic tiles alone are |
| |
adequate. |
| |
- Tempered glass or sheetmetal (min. 0.4 mm |
| |
thick) is acceptable when used in front of a |
| |
fire resistant material. |
| |
- Fisher & Paykel Splashback (not available |
| |
in Australia): This is stainless steel with a 10 |
| |
mm air gap to the wall. When used with |
| |
a 10 mm gap behind the product to the | series | |
front of the splashback. (Only with SB90 | ||
| ||
series and SB1216 splashbacks.) | CG913 | |
These products meet the Standards | ||
|
requirements when installed to the dimensions in these Instructions. (They have been tested by an Independent Testing Lab).
Clamping Down the Cooktop
This cooktop is supplied with fastening clamps that will cope with a bench thickness of
| 50 mm | |
20 mm | recessed to | |
50 mm | ||

Gas Supply Connection
This cooktop is supplied set up for Natural Gas but is suitable for installation with either Natural Gas or LPG. Refer to relevant table for pressures and appropriate orifice sizes.
Gas connection to the product MUST use the elbow supplied. The regulator will not seal if installed without it.
Ensure the blue washer (supplied) is located between the elbow (supplied) and product inlet as below. Failure to use this washer will cause the product to leak. Tighten the floating nut to firm finger tight, plus an additional 1/4 turn (90o).
Blue washer | Elbow (1/2” BSP male) |
Gas Inlet (1/2” BSP internal thread)
After installation, make sure all connections are gas tight.
A duplicate data plate enclosed inside the accessories pack should be placed on an accessible surface adjacent to the cooktop.
Flexible Hoses
Flexible hose assemblies should be AS/NZS 1869 Class B or Class D certified.
Flexible hoses should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding their certified value. They should not touch hot surfaces on the cooktop or neighbouring products.
Flexible hoses should not be subject to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation.
