Instruction for the installer
7
If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out
device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm , located near the
appliance and in an easily reachable position.
Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket
must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the
type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure
that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1
If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must
not be less than 1.5 mm
2
(3 x 1.5 cable), keeping in mind that the end to
be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green)
longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has
a maximum temperature of 90°C. This must be done by a specialised
technician, who must connect the cooker to the electricity supply
according to the diagram shown here.
L = brown
N = blue

2.2 Ventilation requirements
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with B.S. 5440 part 2
1989.
1.
All rooms require an opening window or equivalent, and some rooms will require a permanent vent
as well.
2. For room volumes up to 5 m
3
an air vent of 100 cm
2
is required.
3. If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, and the room exceeds 1 m
3
no air vent is
required.
4. For room volumes between 5 m
3
and 10 m
3
an air vent of 50 cm
2
is required.
5. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room B.S. 5440 part 2 1989 should be
consulted to determine the air vent requirements.
6. This appliance must not be installed in a bed sitting room of less than 20 m
3
or in a bathroom or
shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should therefore not be blocked or removed without first consulting a
Corgi gas installer.

2.3 Connecting to natural and LPG gas
(Please see connection diagram)
Make the connection to the appliance using flexible bayonet style hose in
accordance to B.S. 669. The hose connection at the rear of the appliance has a ½”
BSP internal thread. Please use seal
C between the flexible connection L and the
appliance supply tube B . When making the connection, make sure that no stress of
any kind is applied to the cooker and that the hose does not touch any sharp
edges.
If connecting to LPG the bayonet hose must have red bands on it.
