Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of
children. It can become a choking or suffocation
hazard (see Precautions and tips)
! This appliance shall be installed only by
authorised personnel and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, local gas
fitting regulations, municipal building codes, water
supply regulations, electrical wiring regulations,
AS 5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations and any other
statutory regulations.
! Ventilation
- Ventilation must be in accordance
with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In
general, the appliance should have adequate
ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper
flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate
surrounding within safe limits.
Positioning
- The appliance can be fitted into a
working area as illustrated on the corresponding
figure. Apply the seal provided over the whole of
the area perimeter.
Combustible Surfaces
- Any adjoining surface
situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob
burner must be a suitable non-combustable
material for a height of 150mm for the entire
length of the hob. Any combustible construction
above the hotplate must be at least 600mm above
the top of the burner and no construction shall be
within 450mm above the top of the burner. A
minimum depth of 60mm from the top of the
worktop surface must be provided for the
appliance.
Access to base
- Where the base of the hotplate
can be accidentally touched, such as through a
cupboard or a pot drawer, a panel should be fixed
15mm below the base of the hotplate to prevent
accidental contact. The base of the hotplate is
very hot during operation.
Data Label
- The Data Label is located on the
underside of the appliance. A duplicate label is
supplied to adhere in an accessible area adjacent
to the appliance. This appliance is suitable for
Natural and Propane Gas; ensure the available
gas supply matches the data label.
Gas connection
- The Gas Connection is male
1/2” BSP and is situated 50mm from the right,
50mm from the rear of the hotplate and 25mm
below the top surface of the bench top.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to
the main gas line:
A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid
pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.
B. The hotplate can be connected with a
Flexible Hose, which complies with
AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm
ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long
and in accordance with AS5601
Ensure that the Hose does not contact the hot
surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or
other appliance that may be installed underneath
or next to the hotplate.
The hose should not be subjected to abrasion,
kinking or permanent deformation and should be
able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions
compatible with the hose fittings must be used and
connections tested for gas leaks. The supply
connection point shall be accessible with the
appliance installed.
When the installation has been carried out, check
the perfect sealing of the entire connection
system, by using soapy solution.
Power Connection
- Simply plug into a 3 pin
household socket outlet which is properly earthed.
Warning: In order to avoid hazard, any electrical
work performed on this equipment or its
associated wiring, should only be done by persons
authorised by the supplier or similarly qualified
persons.
The socket outlet for this hotplate shall be installed
near the hotplate and shall be easily accessible.
