INSTALLATION
Regulations and Standards
Read the instructions before installing this appliance and comply with the cautions and warnings
section on Page 2 & 3 of this manual. Gas appliances must only be installed and serviced by an
approved and competent person. Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any
warranty or liability claims and may lead to prosecution.
Prior to connection ensure the local conditions for gas type and gas pressure match the
appliance specification. The adjustment conditions for this appliance are printed on the data
badge located on the base of the appliance.
This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed
and connected in accordance with current installation regulations in force in the country of use.
Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding ventilation.
Ventilation
The installation must be in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.2: “LP Gas installations in caravans
and boats for non-propulsive purposes”. This appliance is suitable for installation into Holiday
Homes, Touring Caravans, Motor-Homes and Boats. The requirements for ventilation for the
particular vehicle into which the appliance is to be installed must be followed.
A gas dispersal hole is recommended beneath the appliance, venting to the outside, with
minimum size Ø12mm, maximum Ø25mm, which should be screened and baffled to prevent
direct draughts to the appliance, see Fig 5, Item B.
Location of Appliance
This appliance maybe installed in a kitchen/kitchen diner but NOT in a room containing a bath or
a shower. LP gas appliances must not be fitted below ground level, e.g. in a basement
Position
The appliance should be installed onto a suitable worktop. A cut-out should be prepared in the
worktop as shown in Fig 1 or Fig 2, depending on the Series type.
We recommend the underside of the hob be shielded – see Fig. 5 - particularly if the area
beneath is to be used for storage or the installation of another appliance. The shield should be
fabricated from non-combustible material, but if the enclosure is manufactured from combustible
material there should be a minimum air gap of 58mm between the underside of the hob
pressing and the shield. THIS AIR SPACE MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.
A horizontal distance of 200mm must be maintained between the edge of the burners and any
combustible material, unless this is protected by a layer of non-combustible material. See Fig 4.
Due to protection from the glass lid, the distance from the edge of the burner to the rear wall can
be reduced to 130mm.
All combustible materials such as curtains and shelves must be kept well clear of the appliance.
Any fitments such as a cupboard above the appliance must have a minimum clearance of
500mm between the fitment and the top of the burner ports – see Fig. 4.
