Because the height of the cooker can be adjusted and
each connection is different it is difficult to give precise
dimensions. Ideally the house supply bayonet should
be in the shaded area shown in the diagram. Although
a 900mm hose can be used, a 1250mm hose will allow
slightly more flexibility in the positioning of the bayonet
and make moving the cooker easier. The hose should
be fitted so that both inlet and outlet connections are
vertical, so that it hangs downwards in a ‘U’ shape.
The hose must be compatible with the pressure and type
of gas used.
In the UK
For Natural Gas the flexible hose must be in
accordance with B.S.669.
For LP Gas it should be capable of 50mbar pressure,
70°C temperature rise and carry a red stripe, band or
label.
In the Republic of Ireland:-
Consult I.S. 813 for details of connection requirements.
If in doubt contact, your supplier.
Screw connect the threaded end of the hose into the gas
inlet in the underside of the connector block on the back
of the cooker.
After completing the gas connection, check the cooker
is gas sound with a pressure test. When checking for gas
leaks do not use washing up liquid - this can corrode. Use
a product specifically manufactured for leak detection.
Pressure testing
The gas pressure can be measured at the pressure test
point on the gas connection block. Turn and light one of
the hotplate burners.
For Natural Gas the pressure should be 20 mbar.
For Propane the pressure should be 37 mbar.
For Butane the pressure should be 28 mbar.
Reassemble burner top, making sure it is reassembled in
the correct way on the burner body.
Electrical Connection
This appliance must be installed by a qualified electrician
to comply with the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Note
The cooker must be connected to the correct electrical
supply as stated on the voltage label on the cooker,
through a suitable cooker control unit incorporating a
double pole switch having a contact separation of at least
3mm in all poles. This cooker must not be connected to an
ordinary domestic power point.
The total electrical load of the appliance is approximately
7.2kW. The cable size used should be suitable for this load
and comply with all local requirements.
Access to the mains terminal is gained by removing the
electrical terminal cover box on the back panel.
Connect the mains cable to the correct terminals for your
electrical supply type.
Check that the links are correctly fitted and
that the terminal screws are tight.
Secure the mains cable using the cable clamp.
Hotplate
Check each burner in turn. There is a flame safety device
that stops the flow of gas to the burner if the flame goes
out. There is also a spark ignition system that works when
the knob is pressed in.
For each burner, push in and turn the knob to the large
flame symbol ( ).
The igniter should spark and light the gas. Keep holding
the knob pressed in to let the gas through to the burner
for few seconds.
If, when you let go of the control knob, the burner goes
out, the safety device has not held in. Turn the control to
the off position and wait one minute, then try again this
time holding in the control knob for slightly longer.
