When making this connection make sure that the
lead cannot come into contact with hot parts of the
cooktop.
■
This appliance must be earthed. When connecting
the cooktop ensure that the earth wire is connected
first and that all wires are connected to the correct
terminals.

Gas connection
During the planning stage, consider the position of
supply connections.
The cooktop must be connected to the gas supply with
upstream connection of an isolation valve in
accordance with the respectively valid regulations. We
recommend that the isolation valve be fitted prior to the
cooktop to enable isolation of cooktop from gas supply.
The valve must be easily accessible at all times.
To find out the factory set gas type, see bottom of
cooktop next to gas connection.
Remove plastic cap from gas supply line prior to
installation.
Fit regulator (N.G.) or a test point (Universal LPG)
directly to the R 1/2’’ connection.
Direction of gas flow is indicated on the rear of the
regulator.
Position of the inlet connection:
Use pipe compound or thread sealant, properly
threaded pipes and careful assembly procedure so that
there is no cross threading, etc., which might cause
damage or leakage.
Make sure that all connections performed are free of
leakage. The manufacturer does not accept any liability
for leakage on connections performed by the installer or
if the L-tube is moved or twisted.
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the
main gas line:
■
The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe as
specified in AS/NZS 5601.1
■
Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, it
must comply with AS/NZS 1869, 10 mm ID, class B
or D, no more than 1.2 m 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
underbench oven.
Before Leaving
Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and
water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks.
