BEFORE DELIVERY
Power:
It is advisable to check whether the power rating of your electrical installation provides
you with sufficient power for your model, taking into account any electrical appliances
you have already installed. Refer to the tables for each of the models for the total power
and current ratings.
Due to the power of La Cornue appliances, a simple plug and socket connection is not
recommended: the electrical connection should consist of a flexible cord without a plug,
directly connected to the circuit breaker outlet by means of a junction box with terminal
blocks, preferably of the anti-shearing type.
Only all-gas hobs with only hob burner ignition can be connected with an ordinary 3-pin
plug.
The gas installation must comply with the current regulations in the country
where the appliance will be installed.
Reminder of the main obligations with regard to gas installations:
The gas must be supplied via a rigid metallic pipe, terminated by an easily accessible
manual shutoff valve.
This valve must be positioned, taking into account that the gas inlet on the appliance is
situated:
· on the left of the cooker or the cooktop.
· at the level of the work area (on the bottom left) for cooktop.
See the drawings on the specific presentation pages for each model for details about the
connections.
When your cooker or your cooktop is built-in between two kitchen units, the shut-off
valve must be accessible through an appropriate cut-out in the back of the kitchen unit.
It is forbidden to use flexible rubber hoses with a collar fastening to supply gas to gas
appliances.
When all of the work has been carried out on your gas supply network, perform a
functional test before connecting the appliance; this will ensure that no metallic burrs can
enter the appliance’s gas supply pipe and thus obstruct the burners or the gas taps.
Also, perform mechanical resistance and sealing tests in accordance with the applicable
standards.
In order to ensure that the cooktop is perfectly horizontal, especially on old flooring, we
advise you to install your cooker on a wooden or cement base and your hob on a perfectly
horizontal kitchen unit, the height of which will allow you to bring the hob to a level in
