Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:
a. The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting

room with a volume of less than 20m

. If it is installed

in a room of volume less than 5m

an air vent of

effective area of 100cm

is required, if it is installed

in a room of volume between 5m

and 10m

supplementary airvent area of 50cm2 is required,
if the volume exceeds 10m

no airvent is required.

However, if the room has a door or a window which
opens directly to the outside no air vent is required
even when the volume is between 5m

and 10m

b. During prolonged use of the appliance you may

consider it necessary to open a window to the
outside to improve ventilation.

This appliance must not be fitted on a platform.

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets
spaced 500mm apart. The space either side need
only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for
servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or
both as well as in a corner setting. It can also be used
free-standing.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level,
must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm or 65mm
and should be protected by heat resistant
material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood
should not be nearer than 750mm.
a. The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/

diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or
shower room.

b. The hoods must be installed according to the

requirements in the hood handbook.

c. The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must

be of flameproof material.

d. The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be

Gas connection

The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply
by a gas safe registered installer. During installation
of this product it is essential to fit an approved gas

tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the
convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing.

The appliance must not be installed behind

a decorative door in order to avoid overheating

Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid
gas must be carried out according to the prescribed
regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained that it
is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not, follow
the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed
“Adaptation to different gas types”. On some models
the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the
right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse
the position of the hose holder with that of the cap
and replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance).
In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in
force. The gas supply must be connected to the left
of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass
through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.

Make sure the supply pressure conforms

with the values shown in the table entitled
“Caracteristics of the burners and nozzles”.
When the cooker is installed between cabinets
(recessed), the gas connection must be effected
by an approved flexible hose with bayonet fitting
(BS 669 Current Edition). The gas inlet for the
cookers is a threaded G 1/2 gas female fitting.

WARNING : This operation must be perfomed

by a qualified technician

INSTALLATION TIPS

c. 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.

The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means
of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm - 915mm).
Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side.
Then install the product into position.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other
than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label
on the cover).

Adapting the hob

Replacing the nozzles for the hob
burners:
1. Remove the hob grids and
slide the burners off their seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7
mm socket spanner ( see figure),
and replace them with nozzles

suited to the new type of gas(see Burner and nozzle
specifications table).
3. Replace all the components by following the above
instructions in reverse.

Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:
1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.
2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw,
which is positioned inside or next to the tap pin, until the
flame is small but steady.

If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the

bypass screw must be set to a minimum.
3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the
knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several times,
checking that the flame is not extinguished.

Upon completion of adjustment, reseal using sealing

wax or an equivalent material.

The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.

The room containing the appliance must contain

an openable window or an acceptable alternative
such as an adjustable louvre or hinged panel
opening direct to outside air.
