Important safety requirements
This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation
and Use) Regulations (Current Edition) and the IEE Wiring Regulations
(Current Edition). Detailed recommendations are contained in the following
British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S. 5440, Part 2 and B.S.
6891 Current Editions.
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room with a volume of less
than 20 m 3 . If it is installed in a room of volume less than 5 m 3 an air vent of
effective area of 110 cm 2 is required. If it is installed in a room of volume
between 5 m 3 and 10 m 3 an air vent of effective area of 50 cm 2 is required,
while if the volume exceeds 11 m 3 no air vent is required. However, if the
room has a door which opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even if the volume is between 5 m 3 and 11 m 3 . If there are other fuel burning
appliances in the same room, B.S. 5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should be
consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.
Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but
not in a bathroom or shower room.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that the edges of the hob
that are to be near either a side or rear wall have a minimum distance of 55
mm. between the edge of the hob and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob is
400 mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm. a space of 50 mm. must be allowed
from the edges of the hob. The minimum distance combustible material can
be fitted directly above the hob is 700 mm. A minimum distance of 100 mm.
must be left between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or
walls.
Installation
IMPORTANT
This hob must be installed by qualified
personnel to the relevant British Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is important to
remove any protective materials, which were put
on in the factory.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the GJ 1/2"
threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so that the washer
is fitted between the components as shown in the
diagram. Screw the parts together without using
excessive force.
A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the
hob connecting pipe.
Failure to ensure the correct assembly will cause
leakage of gas.
FO 0814
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid
or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to RC
1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential
that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and
installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert
any strain on the hob.
