2 INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons. Corgi gas installers are approved to work to safe and satisfactory standards. All gas installation, servicing and repair work must be in accordance with the gas safety regulations 1984 (installation and use) as amended 1990.

It can be placed against walls higher than the hob, at a distance of at least 50 mm from the side of the appliance, as shown in the drawings A and B relating to the installation classes. Wall units or extractor hoods located above the hob must be at least 750 mm away from it.

2.1Electrical connection

Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located inside the storage compartment.

This rating plate must never be removed.

If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position.

Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1

If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must not be less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable), keeping in mind that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has a maximum temperature of 90°C. This must be done by a specialised technician, who must connect the cooker to the electricity supply according to the diagram shown here.
