Check the appliance is electrically safe and gas sound when you have ﬁnished.

For safety reasons curtains must not be ﬁtted immediately behind the hotplate.

Conversion to LP

If the appliance is to be converted to LP gas do the conversion at this point. See the conversion section of these instructions.

•It must be easy to inspect the entire pipe length in order to check its state of wear.

•The pipe must be replaced within the date stamped on the pipe itself.

If in doubt, contact your supplier.

After completing the gas connection check the hotplate is gas sound with a pressure test.

Gas Connection

Before connecting the appliance, check that it is suitable for your gas and electricity supply. This information is on the data label ﬁxed to the underside of the hotplate. Gas connection must comply with the relevant standards and regulations in force.

The gas connection point is located towards the rear of the hob. The inlet union is Rp ½.

The appliance must be connected to the gas supply system

Pressure Testing

The gas pressure can be measured at one of the hotplate burner injectors (not the Wok burner). Lift oﬀ a burner head. Fit the pressure gauge to the injector. Turn on and light one of the other hotplate burners. Turn on and push in the control knob for the burner with the pressure gauge ﬁtted to let gas through.

with suitable cement, or Teﬂon tape, is permitted.

A copper pipe

The joints of this pipe must consist of unions with mechanical seals.

A ﬂexible hose

A hose is not supplied by with the hotplate. Hoses may be purchased at most builders’ merchants.

The hose should be ﬁtted so that both inlet and outlet connections are vertical so that the hose hangs downwards.

The hose must be in accordance with the relevant standards. In the UK these are:

For Natural Gas the ﬂexible hose must be in accordance with BS 669.

For LP Gas it should be capable of 50mbar pressure, 70°C temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or label.

Safety Information

Ensure that the gas supply pipe is never able to touch moveable parts of the built-in cabinet (e.g. drawers). It must not pass through compartments that could be used for storage purposes.

When using a ﬂexible hose, it is essential to comply with the following instructions:

•No part of the pipe must be able to touch parts the temperature of which exceeds 75°C

•The pipe must not be pulled or twisted, throttled or tightly bent.

•It must not come into contact with sharp edges or corners.

Turn oﬀ the burners. Reassemble burner top, making sure it is reassembled in the correct way on the burner body.

Fixing the Hob

The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with the hob.

Carefully follow these instructions to correctly apply the seal: Turn the hob over and place in on a secure, level surface. Detach the seal from the backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself. Carefully position the seal along the edge of the hob. Take special care in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the strips must ﬁt together without overlapping.

If the surface that the hob is to be ﬁtted to is tiled or is not reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof silicone sealant may be required.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in the worktop cut-out.

Secure the hob to the worktop using the brackets supplied. The positioning of the bracket (and sleeve) is dependent on the thickness of the worktop as shown in (Fig.5-4).

Note: Slide the optional sleeve onto the bracket if ﬁtting to thin work surfaces.

Locate the bracket to the slot on the hob base and then tighten the retaining screw until it is locked to the worktop.
