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 50°C above room tempe-
rature. 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 110mm 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 (Fig. A).
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must be of
flameproof material.
f) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be
attached to a hook, secured to the wall behind the
appliance.
Note: some models can have their gas connection
inverted. It is important to make sure the safety chain
is always situated on the side which corresponds to
the hose holder (Fig. B).

Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply 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
left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose does not pass
through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.
