INSTALLATION

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

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

WARNINGS:

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.

-

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Ensure the tag fits into the slot on the hotplate base, then
tighten the screw until it is locked to the worktop.
