INSTALLATION
Installation
General
The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered Corgi gas fitter.
Warning:
This appliance is not connected to a flue; take
extra care with the ventilation of the kitchen.
Electrical connection (solely for appliances
with a spark switch)
230 V - 50 Hz.
■ The electrical connection must comply
with national and local regulations.
■ Wall socket and plug must be accessible at
all times.
Gasconnection RC 3/8˝ (ISO 7/1-RC 3/8)
■ The gas connection must comply with
national and local regulations. Amongst
other things these regulations instruct that:
– only approved materials are to be used.
Please note:
The type of gas and the country for which the
appliance has been designed are indicated on
the ratings plate.
■ We recommend that the hob be connected
by means of a fixed pipe. Connection using
a specially designed safety hose is also
permitted. In all cases the connection tap
for the appliance must be positioned such
that it is easily accessible, in an adjacent
kitchen cupboard, for example.
Please note:
A safety hose may not be bent and must not
come into contact with the hot parts of the
built-in oven or moving parts of kitchen units,
such as a drawer.
■ Before using the appliance for the first time
check the connections using water and
washing-up liquid to ensure that there are
no gas leaks.
■ After installation check that the appliance
and the burners are working properly; the
gas flames should be regular and stable
when full on and the burners should not go
out when turned to the lowest setting.
Please note:
Do not install a hob next to a high cupboard or
wall made of flammable material. (If there is
no alternative, ensure that there is a minimal
distance of 40 mm between the outer edge of
the hob and the wall in question. Also ensure
that there is a minimum distance of 65 cm
between the hob and any overhead extractor
fan which may be installed.)

USE/MAINTENANCE
Saucepans
Use
The recommended saucepan diameters for
the various burners are:
For the high-speed burner, minimum 24 cm.
For the standard burner, minimum 20 cm.
For the low-speed burner, minimum 14 cm.
Wrong:
A great deal of heat is
lost along the sides of
the saucepan.
Right:
The heat is evenly
distributed over the
base of the saucepan.
Tip:
Cooking without a lid or with the saucepan
partially covered causes a great deal of
energy to be wasted unnecessarily.
Clean saucepans absorb heat more efficiently.
Cleaning the appliance
■ Clean the appliance daily with water and a
detergent or all purpose cleaner. Avoid
using too much water to prevent it entering
the burner or ventilation openings.
■ Remove stubborn stains on enamel with a
non-abrasive cream or a soft sponge.
Never use scouring powders, aggressive
cleaning agents, green scours.
■ Remove stubborn stains on stainless steel
with 3M cleaner for stainless steel or a
non-scouring sponge. These sponges can
be recognised by their white surface e.g.
Scotch Brite no. 373.
■ Green scours contain scouring agents
which can scratch stainless steel. The
structure of the stainless surface is such
that (shiny) spots may appear after
polishing or scouring.
This damage is not covered by the
guarantee.
Note:
Do not drop hot burner caps in cold water.
Because of the strong cooling they might get
damaged.
