pletely removed or locally cutaway to
allow the brackets to be installed.
2. Interference or restriction of gas
connection.
If the cabinet has a back-panel
which interferes with the position of
the gas supply to the hob, then the
panel can be completely removed or
locally cut-away to allow connection
to the gas supply.
Alternative clamp positions
If the front and rear clamp positions are
problematic, alternative positions can be
used on the sides of the hob, dependant
on the particular installation.
These positions will require clearance
from any cabinet sides and may ef-
fect how tightly the hob will meet the
worktop.
Stone (Granite or equivalent)
worktops
Depending on the type of worktop being
used, there may or may not be any back-
ing material to screw the clamp screws
into.
1. If the worktop is a composite type
(backed with MDF or similar) there
may be enough backing to screw
directly into. This will depend on the
worktop thickness and backing thick-
ness and will have to be assessed at
the installation. In this case, install
the hob as for a standard worktop.
2. If there is insufficient backing mate -
rial to screw into, or if the worktop is
completely solid in construction, then
it will be necessary to glue a strip
of wood, MDF, fibreboard or similar
to the underside of the worktop,
along the front and rear edges of
the cutout. Use a strong, proprietary
adhesive to bond these strips and
allow to cure before attempting to
clamp the hob into position.
Connect gas hob to gas sup-
ply
The inlet is at the rear RHS of the hob.
The hob may be connected to the gas
supply either by rigid pipework or flexible
connection.
Flexible connections
Use a 900mm - 1125mm length of flex -
ible connector. Ensure that the hose is
installed hanging reely downwards, is
not trapped, is not subjected to undue
forces and is not supported at the bottom
by a horizontal surface.
Natural Gas - Flexible connections
should comply with BS669, latest edition.
LP Gas - For flexible connections use
a bayonet type hose, suitable for use
on LP gas up to 50 mbar pressure rise
and 70°C temperature rise. The flexible
hose should be coloured black with a red
stripe, band or label. If in doubt, contact
your supplier.
The installation must ensure that the
flexible tube cannot come into con -
tact with movable parts of the housing
unit (eg; a drawer) and does not pass
through any space susceptible to becom-
ing congested.
Make sure the appliance is
gas sound & all components
are operating correctly.
Connect to the electricity
supply
This appliance must be connected by a
competent person, using fixed wiring via
a double pole switched fused spur outlet,
with a contact separation of 3mm at all
poles.
Connect the mains lead wires to the
