Installation

STABILITY BRACKET

The cooker must be fitted with a stability device firmly secured to the fabric of the building.

The M6 bolt at the top of the rear of the cooker can be used to engage a stability chain. Keep the chain clear of controls and pipes on the rear of the cooker. The chain must be fitted to the wall behind the cooker.

NOTE: If the cooker is to be placed on a base, precautions must be taken to prevent it from slipping off the base.

The cooker is designed to match the depth of standard 600mm worktops.

An adaptor backplate should, therefore, be fitted within the shaded area shown to allow the cooker to be pushed fully to the wall. If a forward facing backplate is used, it must be chased into the wall.

Connection to the cooker should be made with an

approved appliance flexible connection to BS 669. A GB length of 0.9 to 1.25m is recommended. The length

of hose chosen should be such that when the cooker is in situ, the hose does not touch the floor.

The temperature rise of areas at the rear of the cooker that are likely to come in contact with the flexible hose do not exceed 70°C.

LPG cookers should be connected with a hose suitable for LPG and capable of withstanding 50mbar pressure.
