Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, it must 

comply with AS/NZS 1869, 10 mm ID, class B or D, no more 

than 1.2 m long and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 

5601.1.
Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the 

hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance that may 

be installed underneath or next to the hotplate. 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 installed position. Unions 

compatible with the hose fittings must be used and all 

connections tested for gas leaks.

The supply connection point shall be accessible with the 

appliance installed.
WARNING: Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from 

accidental contact with the flue outlet of an underbench oven.
Before Leaving- Check all connections for gas leaks with soap 

and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. 

Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure 

correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas 

taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame for 

each burner individually and all together. Adhere the duplicate 

data plate to an accessible location near the hotplate. When 

satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the 

correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to 

operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to 

the authorised service provider in your area.
It should be expressly noted that we cannot accept any liability 

for direct or indirect damage caused by wrong connection, 

leakage or improper installation. When being repaired, the 

appliance must always be disconnected from the mains supply; 

if required, notify our customer service.

Converting the cooktop from Nat. Gas to 

Universal LPG

To change injectors

All work involved in installation, setting and adaptation to a 

different gas type must be carried out by authorised personnel 

from our Service Centre and must comply with current 

regulations and the conditions laid down by the local gas 

company.
Request change-over injectors from our customer service 

deparment (refer injector chart below for sizes).

Before conversion the cooktop must be disconnected from the 

electricity and gas valves must be turned to the OFF position.

Changing the nozzles of the burners on the 

cooktop

1.

Remove the pan supports, burner covers and diffusers.

2.

Change the nozzles using the spanner provided by our 

Service Centre (code 340847, for double and triple flame 

burners code 340808), taking special care to ensure that the 

nozzle does not fall when it is removed from the burner or 

when fitted.

Ensure that it is completely tightened in order to guarantee 

the seal.

Adjustment of the taps

1.

Set the control knobs to minimum.

2.

Remove the control knobs from the taps. It has a flexible 

rubber valve reinforcing ring. Press with the tip of the 

screwdriver to access the tap's adjusting screw.

Never remove the valve reinforcing ring.

 The valve 

reinforcing rings guarantee the watertightness of the 

appliance's interior from liquids and dirt, which might 

otherwise prevent its correct operation.

3.

Adjust the minimum ring setting by turning the by-pass screw 

using a flat head screwdriver.
To adjust the minimum flame for N.G. replace the control 

knob onto the spindle, light the gas and turn the control knob 

to the small flame position. Screw the adjustment screw anti-

clockwise to estabilish a minimum stable flame position. The 

flame should remain alight and not burn back to the injector 

when the valve is turned quickly from ‘Full On’ to the 

“Minimum flame” position and back a few times. To adjust 

the minimum flame position for ULPG the screw must be fully 

tightened down clockwise.

4.

Refit the control knobs.
It is important that all the seals are refitted to form a seal.

Never remove the tap spindle. In the event of a malfunction, 

change the whole tap. 

Important: 

After finishing, stick the sticker, indicating the new 

gas type, close to the specifications plate.
