INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The installer should note that the appliance that
side walls should be no higher than the hot plate
itself. Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces
surrounding and adjacent to the appliance must
be able to withstand an overtemperature of 75K.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate
to the cabinet must be able to withstand a
temperature of not less than 150° C otherwise
the laminate could come unstuck. The appliance
must be installed in compliance with BS 6172
1990, BS 5440 part. 2 1989 and BS 6891 1988.
This appliance is not connected to a device able
to dispose of the combustion fumes. It must
therefore be connected in compliance with the
above mentioned installation standards.
Particular care should be paid to the following
provisions governing ventilation and aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
To ensure correct operation of the appliance, it is
important to ensure that the room where the hot
plate is installed has sufficient ventilation, as set out
in BS 5440 part 2. 1989. See table below.
Natural air flow must enter directly through
permanent openings in the walls of the room in
question. These must open towards the outside and
possess a minimum section of 100 cm
2
see fig. 3). It
must be impossible to obstruct these openings.
Indirect ventilation with air drawn from adjacent
rooms is permitted in strict compliance with the
provisions in force.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of
their combustion fumes through hoods. These must
be connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside
(see fig. 4). If it is not possible to install a hood, an
electric fan can be installed on a window or on a wall
facing outside (see fig. 5). This must be activated at
the same time as the appliance, so long as the
specifications in the provisions in force are strictly
complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the
values on the data label affixed to the underside
of the hot plate correspond to those of the gas
mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure.
WARNING:
a gas hot plate can only be connected by a CORGI
Registered engineer.
Installations should be carried out in accordance with
BS 6891 1988 and must comply with the Gas Safety
Regulations.
All hot plate installations must include an isolation
tap.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
Some hot plates models have a test point fitted
under the control panel, to conduct a gas pressure
test proceed as follows:
- turn off the gas supply.
- Remove screw in the pressure test point, place
test gauge connecting tube on test point.
- Fit a burner ring and cap onto burner assembly,
replace control knob onto corresponding control
tap for the burner.
- Turn on gas and ascertain working pressure.
After test, turn off control tap, turn off gas supply,
disconnect test gauge connecting tube. Replace the
test point screw, turn gas back on and test for
soundness. Reassemble the hotplate.
IMPORTANT:
the appliance complies with the provisions of
the following EEC Directives:
- 90/396 + 93/68 regarding gas safety.
