It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by
authorised persons
.
Clearance around the appliance must comply with the requirements of AGA601.
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must be carried
out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials
such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are
heat resistant (T 90°C).
2.1
Attachment to the support structure
Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top surface of the
counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the rear border.
This appliance is classified as “type Y” in relation to fire hazards and can therefore be
mounted against walls higher than the work surface on condition that a certain
distance “X” be kept between the appliance and the wall as shown in the figure so as
to avoid damage from overheating. Make sure there is a minimum of 600 mm
between the hot plate flames and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.
In case of installation on a hollow compartment with doors, a separating panel has to
be placed under the hob. Keep a minimum distance of 10 mm between the bottom of
the unit and the panel surface. The panel has to be easily removable to allow access
in the event of technical service.
