Whirlpool ACG902IX manual Installation, Positioning, to prevent the product slipping off the base

POSITIONING

If the range is placed on a base, ensure measures are taken

to prevent the product slipping off the base

Make sure that the wall surface behind the Cooker is non- combustable (will not catch fire). A plastered or tiled wall is ideal. Where a painted surface is adjacent, a fire retardent paint surface is recommended. Wallpaper, wood, or fabric should not be used behind or next to the cooker.

Any adjoining wall surface situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob burner must be suitable non-combustible material for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the hob. Any combustible construction above the hotplate must be at least 650mm above the maintop.

INSTALLATION

PROVISION FOR VENTILATION

The room where the Cooker is installed should have permanent ventilation as follows:

“Ventilation must be in accordance with AS5601- 2004 - Gas Installations. In general, the appliance should have adequate ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits.”

-Do not install in a bed-sitting room, a bathroom or shower room. If there is another fuel burning appliance in the same room, a higher level of ventilation will be required, you should consults

" the safety requirements".

In addition to the above, during prolonged use, opening a window in the same room is recommended. This will avoid the build up of excessive moisture and condensation.

POSITIONING

Important: Fix the chain located next to the gas connection on both sides of the cooker to the wall to prevent the cooker from tilting. Both chains must be securely fixed.

Make sure that the wall surface behind the Cooker is non- combustable (will not catch fire).

Where a painted surface is adjacent, a fire retardent paint surface is recommended. Wallpaper, wood, or fabric should not be used behind or next to the cooker.

Clearances to combustible materials

“Any adjoining wall surface (side or rear) situated within 200mm

of any hob burner must be a suitable non-combustible material from the edge for a height of 150mm for the entire length of the cooker.

Any combustible construction above the cooker must be at least 650mm above the maintop.” Ensure that a power and gas supply are nearby. The Cooker should be located carefully so that the heat produced by it has plenty of space to escape. The diagram below shows an ideal configuration.

No part of any adjoining wall surface can be made of combustible materials. The protection of combustible materials

required by Clause 5.12.1.1 of AS5601-2004 is the fixing of 5 mm thick ceramic tiles to the surface or attaching fire resistant material to the surface and covering with sheet metal with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm.

Clearances to non- combustible materials

“If the cooker is being fitted next to cupboards or adjoing wall surfaces, which are within 200mm from the edge of the hob burner and of a suitable non-combustible material as specified

in AS5601, then ensure that a distance of at least 6cm is left between the edge of the cooker and the non-combustible material. This gap is to allow plenty of space for the heat produced by the cooker to escape on each side of the cooker.
