IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
The installer should note that the appliance
that side walls should be no higher than the
hot plate itself. Furthermore, the rear wall, the
surfaces surrounding and adjacent to the
appliance must be able to withstand an
overtemperature of 65 K.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate
to the cabinet must be able to withstand a
temperature of not less than 150 °C otherwise
the laminate could come unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance
with BS 6172 1990, BS 5440 part. 2 1989 and
BS 6891 1988.
This appliance is not connected to a device
able to dispose of the combustion fumes. It
must therefore be connected in compliance
with the above mentioned installation
standards. Particular care should be paid to
the following provisions governing ventilation
and aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
To ensure correct operation of the appliance, it is
important to ensure that the room where the hot plate
is installed has sufficient ventilation, as set out in BS
5440 part 2. 1989. See table below.
Natural air flow must enter directly through permanent
openings in the walls of the room in question. These
must open towards the outside and possess a
minimum section of 100 cm2see fig. 3). It must be
impossible to obstruct these openings.
Indirect ventilation with air drawn from adjacent rooms
is permitted in strict compliance with the provisions in
force.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of their
combustion fumes through hoods. These must be
connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside (see
fig. 4). If it is not possible to install a hood, an electric
fan can be installed on a window or on a wall facing
outside (see fig. 5). This must be activated at the
same time as the appliance, so long as the
specifications in the provisions in force are strictly
complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the
values on the data label affixed to the underside
of the hot plate correspond to those of the gas
mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure.
WARNING:
a gas hot plate can only be connected by a CORGI
Registered engineer.
Installations should be carried out in accordance with
BS 6891 1988 and must comply with the Gas Safety
Regulations.
All hot plate installations must include an isolation tap.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
Some hot plates models have a test point fitted under
the control panel, to conduct a gas pressure test
proceed as follows:
- turn off the gas supply.
- Remove screw in the pressure test point, place
test gauge connecting tube on test point.
- Fit a burner ring and cap onto burner assembly,
replace control knob onto corresponding control
tap for the burner.
- Turn on gas and ascertain working pressure.
After test, turn off control tap, turn off gas supply,
disconnect test gauge connecting tube.
Replace the test point screw, turn gas back on and
test for soundness. Reassemble the hotplate.
IMPORTANT:
the appliance complies with the provisions of the
following CEE Directives:
2009/142 + 93/68 regarding gas safety.
