If the surface that the hotplate is to be fitted to is tiled, or is not reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof silicone sealant may be required.
Turn the hotplate back the right way up and fix it to the worktop with the brackets.
Pressure testing
The gas pressure can be measured at one of the centre 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.

Fixing the Hotplate
The hotplate must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. A foam tape seal is supplied with the hotplate. Carefully follow these instructions in order to correctly apply this seal:
Turn the hotplate over and place in on a secure level surface. Detach the foam seal from the backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the
seal itself. Position seal carefully along the edge of the hotplate. Take special care in the corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the strips must fit together without overlapping.
Ensure the tag fits into the slot on the hotplate base, then tighten the screw until it is locked to the worktop.
