LOCATION OF APPLIANCE

This appliance must not be installed in a bed-sitting room of volume less than 20m³ or in a bathroom, shower room or garage. It is essential that the appliance is positioned as stated below. The appliance must be a minimum of 20mm from the rear wall (note that this dimension is provided by the inlet elbow). Shelves, wall cabinets and cooker hoods must not be fitted closer than 500mm to the top of the grill canopy or within 100mm of the sides of the grill. Curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the appliance or within 200mm of the sides of the grill. If fitted next to or between two base units a minimum space of 1mm must be left between the units and the sides of the appliance. The hotplate must be set to a minimum of 7mm above the adjacent units (note that the levelling feet fitted to the appliance will achieve a nominal height to hotplate level of 907mm -5+13mm). Base units not meeting the above conditions must be a minimum of 100mm away from the hotplate. L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e. in a basement or fitted aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.

INSTALLATION

1.PARTS REQUIRED

The loose hotplate parts are packed in the polystyrene fitment on the top of the hotplate. The grill pan, grill pan handle, fixing screws and splashplate fixing screws can be found in the furniture pack which is located in the bottom compartment. The grill pan requires assembly before use (see Fig.1).

NOTE: Taptite screws are used to secure the handle. These are thread forming screws and sufficient pressure must be applied to allow the screws to produce a thread in the plunged holes.

2.GRILL ASSEMBLY

The two splashplate screws marked A (see Fig. 1a) should be screwed into the back of the appliance about halfway in. Engage the keyhole slots in the splashback behind the two screws taking care not to trap the H.T. wire (see Fig. 1b).

Insert the four splashplate screws marked B (see Fig. 1b). Tighten 6 off splashplate screws (see Fig. 1b).
