Provision for ventilation
Detailed recommendations are contained
in the following British Standards Codes
Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 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 m³. If it is installed in a room of
volume less than 5 m³ an air vent of
effective area of 100 cm² is required. If it
is installed in a room of volume between
5 m³ and 10 m³ an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm² is required, while if the
volume exceeds 11 m³ 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 m³ and 11 m³.
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.

3.3 Gas Connection
WARNING!
Any gas installation must be
carried out by a GAS SAFE
REGISTER installer.
Please refer to the technical
instructions on how to adjust
the hob to the gas
specifications on Malta.
This appliance is certified for
Malta.
Make sure that, once the hob is installed,
it is easily accessible for the engineer in
the event of a breakdown.
The manufacturer will not accept liability,
should the above instructions or any of
the other safety instructions incorporated
in this instruction booklet be ignored.
On the end of the shaft, which includes
the R 1/2" threaded elbow, adjustment is
fixed so that the washer is fitted between

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 R 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.
Make sure that the main connection pipe
does not exert any strain on the hob.
If you use flexible metal pipes make sure
that they agree to ISO 10380 and ISO
10807 standards. Be careful they do not
come in touch with mobile parts or they
are not squeezed. Also be careful when
the hob is put together with an oven.
