Important installation advice
• Natural gas only:
This appliance is intended for use with natural gas only.
• Location:
The cooktop may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/dining room
or a bed-sitting room, but
not
in a room containing a bath or shower. The
hob must
not
be installed in a bed-sitting room of less than 20m
3
.
• Other use:
This appliance is unsuitable for use in marine craft, caravans
or mobile homes unless each burner is fitted with a flame safeguard.
• Heat resistance of surrounding surfaces:
Wall and bench surfaces
must be capable of sustaining temperatures of 95°C. All laminates,
fixing adhesive and surfacing materials must be certified suitable for
this temperature. We assume no liability for any damage caused if the
appliance is installed contrary to this advice. Do not install the cooktop
near curtains or other flammable materials.
• Clearances:
Fire resistant materials (such as ceramic tiles) are required
up to 450mm above the burner top.
Walls or vertical structures must be at least 200mm away from the burner.
There must be a minimum clearance of 50mm between the base of the
appliance and a combustible surface.
There must be no overhanging surfaces, and no rangehood or exhaust
system, within 750mm above the burner tops.
If fitting a 600mm bridging unit above the 700mm hob unit, the sides of
adjacent cabinets may be lower than 760mm down to 334mm, provided
that they are resistant to heat and steam.
• Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must only be used in rooms
equipped with adequate ventilation. The use of a gas cooking appliance
results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which
it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device
(mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may require additional or more
effective ventilation, for example, opening of a window or increasing the
level of mechanical ventilation, where present.
