INSTALLATION
Care should be taken to position the appliance centrally in the worktop cut-out to ensure an air
gap is maintained between the edges of the appliance and the sides of the cut-out. The
appliance may then be fixed in position with screws - see Fig. 3. Make sure the appliance is
level and correctly positioned in the aperture before fixing in place.
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in
a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburned gas. When in use ensure that air vents
are not inadvertently blocked or shut off. Ensure all combustible materials such as curtains,
blinds and shelves are well clear of the appliance.
If other appliance/s are located below the hob we recommend conducting a temperature
verification test to confirm any rise in temperature of the cabinet materials are within allowable
limits and meet requirements specified in standards AS 4551-2008 and AS/NZS 5601.2 Section
6.5 Clearances.
After installation the appliance must be tested for gas soundness and satisfactory ignition of all
burners both individually and combined.
The gas supply pressure to which this appliance is connected must
not rise or fall by more than
0.25 kPa (2.5mbar) from nominal, when all
appliances connected to the supply are operated
simultaneously.
The performance of this appliance meets the requirements of AS 4551-2008 which specifies a
maximum temperature rise for the furniture into which the appliance is installed of 65
o
C above
the ambient temperature. It is important the installer verifies the furniture construction material
and that it is suitable for the application - i.e. plastic materials or adhesives used in the
construction may have a softening point lower than the maximum allowable temperature rise
specified in the appliance standard.
We recommend the installation follows the minimum dimensions shown in this manual as any
deviation could result in excessive temperature rise. If minimum dimensions must be reduced,
due to design constraints, a temperature rise test of all furniture fitted around the unit MUST be
performed. The design is deemed permissible providing the results of this test comply with the
allowable temperature rise specified above and with all standards in force. In addition comply
with all requirements detailed within the furniture manufacturer’s material specification. Where
minimum dimensions are reduced we recommend protecting with non combustible material.
Connection - Gas
A ¼” BSP taper gas inlet connection and pressure test point is provided underneath the
appliance. It is recommended that the appliance is connected by steel or copper tubing, a
rubber or hose connection should not be used. The gas inlet must be accessible with the
appliance installed to ensure installation in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.2. After connection
the appliance must be tested for gas soundness.
This appliance is suitable for use with UNIVERSAL LPG ONLY at 2.75 kPa pressure.
It is important that the regulator should be set to the correct pressure for the type of gas being
used. Excessive pressure must not be permitted.
If the flame on any burner should show a tendency to lift, it is possible that the line pressure is
too great. Should there be excessive yellow tips (resulting in sooting), then it is possible that the
line pressure is too low. In either case the burners should not be used until the line pressure has
been confirmed.
The burners on this appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is necessary.
