WARNING!
Installation of cooktop cannot be such that the user is required to
reach over any of the burners to reach the knobs.
3.
Prepare the countertop cutout per the dimensions above and in Figures 1 and 2.
4.
Access to install the gas line will be dependent upon type of enclosure and
clearances. For low clearance bottom installations, it may be necessary to drill a
hole in the bottom to route the gas line. See figures 1B and 1C for gas connection
location.
5.
Secure the cooktop to the countertop by tightening clamp screws located
under rubber bumpers. See Figure 3.
6.
Route gas line and connect the 1/4" BSPT (female) fitting.
NOTE: Be sure to hold the fitting at the end of the manifold with a wrench
when tightening the gas connection. Failure to hold fitting secure could
result in a gas leak due to fitting being damaged.
CAUTION:
It is imperative that the cabinet in which the cook top is placed be
separated from other appliances so that the combustion air supply to the top
burners can not be affected in any way by any forced-air heating appliance or
its return air system or by any other source of positive or negative air pressure.
A negative air pressure created by another forced air appliance may draw the
flame down around the top burners and into the cook top resulting in damage
to the burners and cook top, as well as possible personal injury and/or damage
to vehicle. A positive draft could cause the burner flame to lift-off the burner and
go out resulting in an uncontrolled escape of gas. Whenever the gas fumes
reach an open flame or another ignition source, an explosion and/or fire will
occur resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or loss of life.
7.
Be sure all openings in the cabinets around the gas line are sealed at time of
installation.
8.
Be sure burner knobs are in “OFF” position. Turn on gas supply. Check all
connections for leaks. Ensure that the gas connection point is accessible with
the appliance installed.
WARNING!
Never check for leaks with an open flame. Apply a soap and
water solution to all joints to see if bubbles are formed.
NOTE:
The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressure in
excess of 3.5 kPa.
8.
Remove grates from their packing - Install the grates on the top.
9.
If installation of this product is in a portable counter top, the following additional
guidelines must be followed:
a.
Portable counter top is provided by installer and must be able to support a
minimum weight of 9 kg.
b.
OEM must provide a label placed on the counter top that clearly states the
maximum weight that can be added to the portable counter top after installation.
(This should take into account the weight of the cooking unit - 9.1 kg).
FOR EXAMPLE:
Mounting bracket used is rated for 45 kg. OEM should
weigh fabricated counter top. Subtract weight of counter top (i.e. 9 kg) and
weight of cooking unit (9 kg) from 45 kg. The weight label should say no
more than 27 kg can be put on the counter top.
c.
The surface material for the counter top must be rated for a minimum of
93°C continuous operation temperature with the maximum weight applied.
d.
Minimum clearances from combustible walls above and below the counter
top must be adhered to during operation.
e.
The OEM must provide a warning label placed on the counter top that requires
the unit to be cooled a minimum of 30 minutes after use before storing.
f.
During storage, a clearance of 25 mm must be maintained from the top
surface of the unit.
g. NOTE:
The gas must be turned "OFF" and disconnected when stored.
10.
Appliance commissioning - installer to check for correct burner test point
pressure with at least 50% of cooktop burners operating, and any other
appliance in operation. Verify proper ignition of all burners.
11.
Before Leaving
- Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water.
DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both
individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves,
burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability
of the flame for each burner individually and concurrently. When satisfied with
the appliance, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In
case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried
out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.
12.

Keep the area around the cook top clean and clear of any combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.

dry
pot holders to remove hot utensils. Using damp pot holders on
hot surfaces could result in burns to hands. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth
for a pot holder. The cloth could contact open flame and catch fire.
12.
Never heat an unopened container. Pressure build-up within the container
can cause it to explode.
13.
