PREPARING TO INSTALL
• Refer to AS/NZS 5601.1 for piping size details. These built-in cooktops are intended to be inserted in a
benchtop cutout. Only an officially authorised technician should connect the appliance. Before you
begin, turn off the gas and electricity supply.
WARNING!
• A full operational test and a test for possible leakages must be carried out by the fitter after installation.
• Access to the whole length of the connection hose must be possible and the gas hose must be replaced
before its use before the end of service life (indicated on the hose.)
• 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 all together. Adhere the duplicate data
plate to an accessible location near the hotplate. When satisfied with the hotplate, 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.
GAS CONNECTION
• Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, it must comply with AS/NZS 1869, 10mmID,class B or D,no
more than 1.2m long and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1.
• Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate,oven,dishwasher or any other
appliance that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not be subjected to
abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length
with the cooktop in the installed position. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and
all connections tested for gas leaks. The supply connection point shall be accessible with the appliance
installed.
• WARNING! Ensure that the hose assembly is restrained from accidental contact with the flue outlet of an
under bench oven.
Install in accordance with relevant gas standards and/or codes of practice applicable. Connect the elbow
fitting to the appliance gas manifold connection, and check that seals between the elbow and manifold
connection are in place and in good condition.
• For Natural gas: connect the natural gas appliance regulator (pictured opposite) with integral test point
using approved gas thread tape or compound to the elbow fitting.
• For Universal LPG: connect the brass test point adapter (pictured opposite) using approved gas thread
tape or compound to the elbow fitting.
• Ensure the supply connection point, test point and natural gas regulator adjustment screw (for Natural
gas installation) are accessible for testing and/or adjustment with the hotplate in the installed position.
