Creda W810 - Manual (Page 12)

The hob is designed to fit into worktop and base unit(s) with a cutout as shown in
Fig.1. Any obstruction such as supports or side panels must be removed to allow
30mm minimum depth below the worktop cutout. Any overhead surface of
combustible material must not be closer than 600mm. When installing next to a tall
cupboard, partition or wall, for a minimum distance of 400mm above the hotplate a
side clearance of at least 40mm should be allowed from the edge of the cutout. This
is a type X appliance regarding installation requirements, it is recommended that a
shelf is fitted to the cabinet under the hob, but no closer than 10mm to prevent
access to the underside of the hob which will become hot when in use.
If a cooker hood is to be installed refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding
fixing heights.
Unpack the hob from the carton.
Remove the bag containing the sealing tape, fixing brackets, screws and gas inlet
elbow.
Fit the sealing tape around the edge of the cut-out in the worktop.
Connect the gas inlet elbow supplied to the end of the hob gas pipe. During
installation, it is important not to twist the hob gas pipe when connecting to or
adjusting the position of the gas inlet elbow to avoid the possibility of disturbing gas
tight joints inside the hob. Ensure that the inlet is held securely:
* When loosening or tightening the hob gas pipe securing nut.
* When connecting fittings to it.
Also, ensure that connecting pipe work does not twist the inlet elbow away from its
free position.
Lower the hob into the worktop ensuring the mains lead is fed into the base unit and
is not trapped under the flanges.
Fix the hob to the worktop using the fixing brackets and screws.
NB Do not over tighten the hob clamps as distortion of the hob may occur.
Connect the hob to the gas supply and check for gas soundness. If a flexible hose is
used for connection, it should be fitted such that it cannot come into contact with
moveable parts of the housing (e.g. a drawer), does not pass through a space where
it is likely to become trapped or damaged and hangs freely downwards. The tem-
perature rise of the area of the base panel likely to come into contact with a flexible
hose does not exceed 70ºC
Connection must be by rigid pipework when the hob is installed above an oven.
Put the burner rings and caps into position.
Connect the hob to the electrical supply (see INSTALLATION - Electrical
Requirements).
Ensure that the hob is functioning correctly prior to use. Instruct the user in the
operation of the hob.
