permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2
and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following requirements
must be observed:

is required, if it is installed in a room of
volume between 5m
3
and 10m
3
a supplementary
airvent area of 50cm
2
is required, while if the volume
exceeds 11m

.
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may
consider it necessary to open a window to the outside
to improve ventilation.
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
requirements.
Installation of the cooker
The cooker is prepared with protection degree against
excessive heating of type X, the appliance can therefore
be installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed touching
walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 60°C above
room temperature. Levelling feet supplied with the cooker,
can be fitted to the cooker to accomodate uneven floors.
See fitting instruction on feet packing. For a correct
installation of the cooker the following precautions must
be followed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/
diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or
shower room.
b) The furniture units next to the cooker, that is higher
than the working boards, must be placed at least
110 mm from the edge of the board. Curtains must not
be fitted immediately behind the cooker or within
110 mm. of the sides of the cooker.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the
requirements in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the
base units, providing that the lower edge of the wall
cabinet is a minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop.
The minimum distance combustible material kitchen
units can be fitted directly above the worktop is 700
mm. (see Fig. A)
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must
be of flameproof material.
f) The cooker is fitted with the a safety chain that must
be attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the
appliance (see Fig. B).

Connecting the gas
The cooker should be connected to the gas-suply by a
corgi 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. 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”. 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 right of the appliance.
Be sure that the hose does not pass through the rear of
the cooker touching hot parts.
Important: 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.
Connecting the gas supply
To make the connection, a flexible hose should be used
corresponding to the current gas regulations which are:
•
the hose must never be at any point in its lenght in
contact with the “hot” parts of the cooker;
•
the hose must never be longer than 1.5 metre;
•
the hose must not be subject to any tension or torsional
stress and it must not have any excessively narrow
curves or bottlenecks;
•
the hose must be easy to inspect along its entire lenght
to check its condition;
•
the hose must always be in good condition, never
attempt to repair.
Important: the installation must comply with gas safety
(installation and use) regulations 1984. In all cases for the
above, by low, a qualified, corgi approved engineer must
be called for installation.
