Gas Connection

Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.

The connection should be suitable for connecting to RC 1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread).

When the final connection has been made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and installation.

Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert any strain on the hob.

It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the hob connecting pipe.

Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.

Building In

Building over a cupboard or drawer

If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard or drawer it will be necessary to fit a heat resistant board below the base of the hob on the underside of the work surface.

It is also recommended to carry out the electrical connection to the hob as shown in diagrams 1 and 2.

Building over a kitchen unit with door

Proper arrangements must be taken in designing the furniture unit, in order to avoid any contact with the bottom of the hob which can be heated when it is operated. The recommended solution is shown in diagram 3.

The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should be easily removable to allow easy access if technical assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen unit ("b") can be used for connections.
