When the Hob is First Installed
Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the
factory.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions
incorporated in this manual are ignored.
The end of the manifold includes a Rc 1/2 and Rp 1/2 threaded elbow. The elbow has an arrow sign to show
the direction of gas flow. If the elbow is disassembled for any reason, the arrow direction must be respected
during re-assembly. The arrow head should point towards the appliance. There is a washer fitted between these
components, if any adjustments are made ensure parts are screwed together without using excessive force.
If the hob is going to be installed on the top of a built in oven without forced cooling ventilation, proper air vents
must be installed to guarantee adequate ventilation, with the lower air entering with a cross section of at least
200 cm
2
, and the higher air exiting with a cross section of at least 60 cm
2
.
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper. The connection
should be suitable for connecting to 1/2 BSP male thread. When the final connection has been made, it is
essential that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and installation. Ensure that the main connection
pipe does not exert any strain on the hob.
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with the shoulder on
the end of the thread, fitted to the hob connecting pipe. Failure
to ensure the correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.
