INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The installer should note that the appliance that side walls should be no higher than the hot plate itself. Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces surrounding and adjacent to the appliance must be able to withstand an overtemperature of 75 K. The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate to the cabinet must be able to withstand a temperature of not less than 150° C otherwise the laminate could come unstuck. The appliance must be installed in compliance with BS 6172 1990, BS 5440 part. 2 1989 and BS 6891 1988. This appliance is not connected to a device able to dispose of the combustion fumes. It must therefore be connected in compliance with the above mentioned installation standards. Particular care should be paid to the following provisions governing ventilation and aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
To ensure correct operation of the appliance, it is important to ensure that the room where the hot plate is installed has sufficient ventilation, as set out in BS 5440 part 2. 1989. See table below.

Natural air flow must enter directly through permanent openings in the walls of the room in question. These must open towards the outside and possess a minimum section of 100 cm2 see fig. 3). It must be impossible to obstruct these openings.
Indirect ventilation with air drawn from adjacent rooms is permitted in strict compliance with the provisions in force.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of their combustion fumes through hoods. These must be connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside (see fig. 4). If it is not possible to install a hood, an electric fan can be installed on a window or on a wall facing outside (see fig. 5). This must be activated at the same time as the appliance, so long as the specifications in the provisions in force are strictly complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the values on the data label affixed to the underside of the hot plate correspond to those of the gas mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating conditions: type of gas and working pressure.
WARNING:
A gas hot plate can only be connected by a CORGI Registered engineer.
Installations should be carried out in accordance with BS 6891 1988 and must comply with the Gas Safety Regulations.
All hot plate installations must include an isolation tap.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
Some hot plates models have a test point fitted under the control panel, to conduct a gas pressure test proceed as follows:
-Turn off the gas supply.
-Remove screw in the pressure test point, place test gauge connecting tube on test point.
-Fit a burner ring and cap onto burner assembly, replace control knob onto corresponding control tap for the burner.
-Turn on gas and ascertain working pressure.
After test, turn off control tap, turn off gas supply, disconnect test gauge connecting tube. Replace the test point screw, turn gas back on and test for soundness. Reassemble the hotplate.
IMPORTANT:
The appliance complies with the provisions of the following EEC Directives:
90/396 + 93/68 regarding gas safety.
