You will need the following equipment
to complete the cooker installation
satisfactorily
STABILITY BRACKET
If the cooker is to be supplied
with gas through a flexible
hose, a stability bracket or
chain must be fitted.
These are not supplied by with the cooker
but are available at most builders’ merchants.
GAS PRESSURE TESTER
FLEXIBLE GAS HOSE
Must be in accordance
with the relevant
standards.
MULTIMETER
(for electrical checks)
You will also need the following tools:
1. Electric drill
2. Masonry drill bit & Rawlplugs
(only required if fitting the cooker on a stone or
concrete floor)
3. Steel tape measure
4. Cross head screwdriver
5. Flat head screwdriver
6. Spirit level
7. Pencil
8. Adjustable spanner
9. Screws for fitting stability bracket
Positioning the Cooker
The diagrams show the minimum recommended distance
from the cooker to nearby surfaces.
The cooker should not be placed on a base.
*door opening width - the door corners swing slightly outside the
cooker width
The hotplate surround should be level with, or above,
any adjacent work surface. Above hotplate level a gap of
75mm should be left between each side of the cooker and
any adjacent vertical surface.
For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or
ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 25mm.
A minimum space of 800mm is required between the top
of the hotplate and a horizontal combustible surface.
*Any cooker hood should be installed in accordance with the
hood manufacturer’s instructions.
Surfaces of furniture and walls at the sides and rear of
the appliance should be heat, splash and steam resistant.
Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are
particularly prone to heat damage and discolouration.
We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused
by normal use of the cooker to any material that de-
laminates or discolours at temperatures less than 65°C
above room temperature.
For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker.
We recommend a gap of 1110mm between units to allow
for oven door opening and moving the cooker . Do not
box the cooker in; it must still be possible to move the
cooker in and out for cleaning and servicing.
A clearance of 130mm is required if the cooker is near a
corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to open.
