Bench top specifications
The cooktop can
be fitted to a
benchtop of 18-30
mm thickness.
Special considerations for installation over a
under bench oven
If installing the cooktop over an under bench oven
and connecting the cooktop via a hose assembly,
ensure that the hose assembly is retained from ac-
cidental contact with the flue outlet of the under
bench oven.
Installation procedure
Before connecting the unit, check whether the local
conditions (type of gas) are compatible with the
unit’s settings. The model number, type of appliance,
gas pressure, gas type, injector size and total hourly
gas consumption are noted on the data plate at-
tached to the underside of the cooktop base. A du-
plicate of this data plate is at the rear of this manual.
Observe any special conditions imposed by local
suppliers (utilities).
1. The cooktop has a special seal which prevents
liquid from getting into the cabinet. Strickly com-
ply with the following insructions in order to cor-
rectly apply the seal.
2. Detach the seals from their backing, checking
that the transparent protection still adheres to
the seal itself.
3. Turn over the cooktop and position the seal
under the edge of the hotplate itself so that the
outer edge of the seal perfectly matches the
outer edge of the hot plate. The end of the strips
must fit together without overlapping. Press the
seal down you’re your finger whilst removing the
protective paper strip.
4. Drop the cooktop into the cut-out. Check that ad-
joining vertical walls are at the required mini-
mum distance from the hotplate.
5. Fix the hob to the bench with the supplied
brackets (3 or 4 brackets depending on the
model) as indicated in the figure top right.
Gas connection
The position of the gas inlet position (before fitting
the Nat Gas regulator or LP transitional piece) is in-
dicated on the following figures
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply
with up stream connection of an isolation valve, in
accordance with the respectively valid regulations.
We recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior
to the cooktop to enable isolation of the cooktop
from the gas supply. The valve must be easily ac-
cessible at all times.
The supply connection point must be accessible with
the appliance installed.
Remove the plastic cap from gas supply prior to in-
stallation.
The unit can be connected with rigid pipe as speci-
fied in AS5601, table 3.1.
If installing with a hose assembly ensure the assem-
bly complies with AS/ANZ1869 (AGA approved), 10
mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2 m long and in
accordance with AS5601. Ensure that the hose does
not contact the surfaces of the cooktop, oven, dish-
washer or any other appliance that may be installed
underneath or next to the cooktop. The hose should
not be subjected to abrasion, kinking, or permanent
deformation and should be able to be inspected
along its entire length with the cooktop in the in-
stalled position. Unions compatible with the hose
fittings must be used and all connections tested for
gas leaks.
