Instructions for the
installation technician
All operations relating to installation,
regulation and conversion to other
gas types must be carried out by an
authorised installation engineer,
respecting all applicable regulations,
standards and the specifications of
the local gas and electricity
suppliers.
It is recommended you contact the
Technical Assistance Service to
convert to another gas type.
Before you begin, turn off the
appliance's electricity and gas
supply.
This appliance has been designed for
home use only, not for commercial or
professional use. This appliance
cannot be installed on yachts or in
caravans. The warranty will only be
valid if the appliance is used for the
purpose for which it was designed.
Before connecting the appliance to the
installation, first check that it has been
adjusted for the gas type to be
supplied.
Our cooking hobs leave the factory
designed to function with the gas type
that is indicated on the specifications
plate.
This appliance can only be installed in
a well-ventilated place in accordance
with existing regulations and ventilation
specifications. The appliance must not
be connected to a combustion product
removal device.
It is vital that the place in which the
appliance is installed has suitable
ventilation in accordance with
regulations so that the combustion
gases are piped outside.
Check the dimensions of the cooking
hob as well as the dimensions of the
gap to be cut in the kitchen unit.
The panels on the work surface, in the
immediate vicinity of the cooking hob,
must be made of non-flammable
material. Both the laminated covering
and the glue used to secure it should
be heat resistant, to prevent
deterioration.
Electrical cables must not come into
contact with hot areas.
The power cable must be secured to
the kitchen unit to prevent it from
touching any hot parts of the oven or
the cooking hob.
All appliances containing any electrical
components must be earthed.
Read these instructions before
installing or using the appliance.
IF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE
NOT OBSERVED, THE
INSTALLATION TECHNICIAN WILL
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY
DAMAGE CAUSED, AND THE
MANUFACTURER WILL BE EXEMPT
FROM ALL RESPONSIBILITY.
Installing the hob on the
kitchen unit
Note: Wear protective gloves to fit the
hob.
The option of locating the cooking hob
in a kitchen unit (in accordance with
gas appliances regulation EN 30-1) is
Type 3.
Fitting measurements
1 - Minimum distances (mm). Cut a
suitable sized opening in the work
surface. Fig. 1.
To install the hob over an oven, check
the dimensions given in the installation
manual.
An oven must have forced ventilation
to install a hob above it.
If while using a hob with a control
module it is possible to access its
lower part, a separator will be needed
in order to avoid possible contact. The
minimum distance of this separator to
the support level of the hob must be
130 mm.
Place the cooking hob in the gap cut
into the kitchen unit.
2 - The wood fibres that have been
used to make the cooking hob
modules tend to swell quite quickly
when they come into contact with
moisture. It is therefore recommended
that the cut edges be treated with a
special glue to protect them against
steam or any condensation that might
drip down beneath the work surface of
the kitchen unit.
The adhesive seal (underside of the
hob) is factory-fitted. Do not remove
under any circumstances. The seal
ensures that the entire work surface
will be watertight, and prevents water
seepage.
3 - Remove the clips from the
accessory bag provided.
Fasten them to the lower points
especially prepared for this purpose,
with the clip facing inwards so it can be
subsequently inserted into the kitchen
unit. Fig. 2. Press all of the edges
simultaneously so that the hob is
supported along its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten until fastened
properly.
The end of the gas hob's inlet manifold
has a 1/2" (20.955 mm) thread
(Fig. 3). This permits:
- Fixed connection
- Connection using a flexible pipe
(L min. 1 m - max. 3 m).
In this case, you must prevent the pipe
from coming into contact with moving
parts of the kitchen unit being inserted
(for example, a drawer) and prevent
access to any spaces which might
become obstructed. If the hob is
combined with an oven (Fig. 4), or if
there is interference between the
flexible pipe and the oven, turn the
L-tube so as to avoid creating pressure
in the pipe, bearing in mind the
position of the L-tube as in Fig. 1. Make
sure there are no leaks after turning the
L-tube.
Except in the conditions outlined, it is
not possible to move or turn the L-tube
from its factory-fitted position.
If for any reason the L-tube is turned,
you must ensure that area is sealed
correctly. Make sure that all
connections are watertight.
The manufacturer declines any
responsibility for leaks if the L-tube is
turned and for any connections
performed by the installation
technician.
5 - The following must be checked on
the specifications plate: the voltage
and the total power. The appliance
must be earthed.
Always make certain that all
connections made are in accordance
with national legal requirements.
Observe all the requirements of the
local electrical supply company.
To comply with normal safety
requirements, the installation
technician should provide an
omni-pole cut-off switch with a contact
opening of at least 3 mm.
This appliance is type "Y", which
means that the supply cable MUST
NOT BE REPLACED BY THE USER;
this can only be done by the
manufacturer's technical assistance
service. The section and type of cable
must be observed.
Do not make any adjustments to the
interior of the appliance. If this should
be necessary, call our technical
assistance service.
Installing the oven and
connecting it to the hob
1 - Prepare the oven:
Actuators are supplied with the hob
and must be attached to the back of
the oven. Fig. 6.
2 - Preparing the hob:
a) Check the gas type:
Check that the appliance was
factory-fitted with the gas type it
requires. If this is not the case, the
nozzles must be changed, and the taps
must be set to their lowest level (see
Changing the gas type in these
Assembly instructions).
b) Check the insertion position: kitchen
unit and distances to the insertion
aperture.
3 - Installing the hob:
If you have not yet positioned the hob
in its insertion aperture, do so now,
ensuring that it is properly attached to
the kitchen unit, and complete the gas
connection as described above.
Lift and attach the universal joint to the
underside of the hob using adhesive
tape or glue if the hob does not already
have one of the two.
4 - Electric connection:
Complete the oven's electric
connection.
The hob's connection cable must be
connected to the oven, and the
earthing cable must be screwed in
place as shown in Fig. 5. If necessary,
place the oven in the kitchen unit.
5 - Mechanical bond/universal joint:
Move the oven towards the universal
joint (see Fig. 6). Leave a space of
about 50 mm so that the universal
joints can be connected to the oven by
hand. Remove the adhesive tape or
glue from all of the universal joints and
connect them to the actuators. Fig. 6.
