with AS5601/AG 601 - Gas Installations. In

general, the appliance should have adequate

ventilation for complete combustion of gas, proper

flueing and to maintain temperature of immediate

surrounding within safe limits.

Positioning - The appliance can be fitted into a

working area as illustrated on the corresponding

figure. Apply the seal provided over the whole of

the area perimeter.

Combustible Surfaces - Any adjoining surface

situated within 200mm from the edge of any hob

burner must be a suitable non-combustable

material for a height of 150mm for the entire

length of the hob. Any combustible construction

above the hotplate must be at least 600mm above

the top of the burner and no construction shall be

within 450mm above the top of the burner. A

minimum depth of 60mm from the top of the

worktop surface must be provided for the

appliance.

Access to base - Where the base of the hotplate

can be accidentally touched, such as through a

cupboard or a pot drawer, a panel should be fixed

15mm below the base of the hotplate to prevent

accidental contact. The base of the hotplate is

very hot during operation.

Data Label - The Data Label is located on the

underside of the appliance. A duplicate label is

supplied to adhere in an accessible area adjacent

to the appliance. This appliance is suitable for

Natural and Propane Gas; ensure the available

gas supply matches the data label.

Gas connection - The Gas Connection is male

1/2” BSP and is situated 50mm from the right,

50mm from the rear of the hotplate and 25mm

below the top surface of the bench top.

There are two ways to carry out the connection to

the main gas line:

A. The hotplate can be connected with rigid

pipe as specified in AS5601 table 3.1.

B. The hotplate can be connected with a

Flexible Hose, which complies with

AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm

ID, class B or D, no more than 1.2m long

and in accordance with AS5601

Ensure that the Hose does not contact the hot

surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or

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. Unions

compatible with the hose fittings must be used and

connections tested for gas leaks. The supply

connection point shall be accessible with the

appliance installed.

When the installation has been carried out, check

the perfect sealing of the entire connection

system, by using soapy solution.

Power Connection - Simply plug into a 3 pin

household socket outlet which is properly earthed.

Warning: In order to avoid hazard, any electrical

work performed on this equipment or its

Securing the appliance to the cabinet

There are 3 different methods for installation of

the appliance:

fig.6

fig.5

fig.4

1. Built-in hobs flush with the worktop (see

figure 4, detail H1). In this case it is

necessary to make a hole with

measurements matching those of the

hob in the worktop. The measurement at

the side should be reduced by 2 cm so

as to ensure that 1 cm of the hob

overlaps with and rests on top of the

supporting surface (see figure 6).

To fit the hob flush with the worktop, it is

necessary to cut lower on this supporting

surface (see figure 5 and 6), so that both

the edge of the hob and the seal under it

can be positioned there.

Before fitting the hob to the worktop,

position the seal provided along the

perimeter of the hob, as illustrated in

figure 6. Brackets for fixing hobs to the

cabinet have been provided, and these

should be fitted as shown in detail S.

2. Built-in hobs with edges lower than 58

mm (see figure 4, detail H2). To install

this type of hob, a hole large enough to

accommodate the whole lower casing of

the appliance must be made on the

worktop intended to be under the hob.

Remember to leave a gap of at least 1

cm between the lower casing and the

worktop around the whole perimeter of

the appliance (the underside of the

casing can, however, touch the surface

below it). To fit the appliances, follow the

instructions given above in point 1 or use

any supplementary instruction leaflet that

is provided in special cases.

Gas Hob Operating Instructions

Page 4 of 12

3. Sit-on hobs with edges higher than 58

mm (see figure 4, detail H3). In this case,

the lower casing of the hob does not

protrude further than the edge of the

appliance. Even when the hob is resting

on the worktop, it will suffice to leave

space for the gas supply tube and

electricity supply cable. To fit this type of

hob, follow the instructions below (fig. 7):

• Fix the two screws provided "A" at a

distance from the back panel as shown

in figure 7, leaving the heads of the

screws sticking out of the wood by 1.5

mm.

• Hook the hob onto the two screws "A"

and push it towards the back.

• Fix the appliance to the cabinet at the

rear, using the two brackets "B" and the

four screws "C" (these are all provided).

Electrical Connection

The hobs come equipped with a 3 pin plug and

power cable. The plug and power cable comply

with Australian requirements. Please check the

power rating, voltage and frequency indicated on

the data plate (located on the bottom of the hob as

well as on the front cover of this manual).

If the appliance is to be installed above an electric

built-in electric oven, the electrical connection to

the hob and oven must be carries out separately,

both for electrical safety purposes and to make it

easier to remove the oven.

The supply cable must not come into contact with

surfaces higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure the electrical

connection has been made and is compliant with

AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure

that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is

compliant with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum

power of the appliance, which is indicated

on the data plate.

• The voltage is in the range between the

values indicated on the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of

the appliance. If the socket is

incompatible with the plug, ask an

authorised technician to replace it. Do not

use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power

supply cable and the electrical socket must be

easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! The cable must be checked regularly and

replaced by authorised technicians only (see

Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should

these safety measures not be observed.

N.B.: To allow for easy maintenance

procedures please ensure the area around the

hob are easily accessible after the hob has

been installed.

Adapting to various types of gas

Warning: Servicing should be carried out only by

authorised personnel. Should the appliance be

pre-set for a different type of gas than that

available, proceed as follows:

− replace the injectors with the

corresponding type of gas to be used (see

table “Uses characteristics”).

− to adjust to the minimum, use a

screwdriver on the screw placed on the tap

after turning the tap to its minimum

position.

To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other

than default type (indicated on the rating plate at

the base of the hob or on the packaging), the

burner nozzles should be replaced as follows:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the

burners off their seats.

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm

socket spanner (fig.10), and replace

them with nozzles for the new type of

gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle

characteristics”).

3. Reassemble the parts following the

above procedure in the reverse order.

4. Once this procedure is finished, replace

the old rating sticker with one indicating

the new type of gas used. Sticker are

available from any of our Service

Centres.

3. Having adjusted the flame to the required

low setting, while the burner is alight,

quickly change the position of the knob

from minimum to maximum and vice

versa several times, checking that the

flame does not go out.

4. Some appliances have a safety device

(thermocouple) fitted. If the device fails to

work when the burners are set to the low

flame setting, increase this low flame

setting using the adjusting screw.

5. Once the adjustment has been made,

replace the seals on the by-passes using

sealing wax or a similar substance.

NOTE: The adjusting screw must be fully screwed

down for LPG

When converting from Natural Gas to Propane

ensure that the NG regulator is removed and

replaced with the test point assembly. A gas

regulator suitable for a supply pressure of

2.75kPa should be part of the gas tank supply and

should be adjusted with the wok burner operating

at maximum.

The appliance is factory set for Natural Gas. The

test point pressure should be adjusted to 1.00kPa

with the wok burner (or rapid burner if there is no

wok burner) operating at maximum.

Replace the old data plate with one which is

suitable for the type of gas for which the appliance

has been regulated.

Before Leaving - Check all connections for gas

leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked

flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners to

ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners

and ignition.

Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe

stability of the flame. When satisfied with the

hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct

method of operation.

In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after

all checks have been carried out, refer to the

authorised service provider in your area.

• Setting the burners to minimum:

1. Turn the tap to the low flame position.

2. Remove the knob and adjust the

adjustment screw, which is positioned in

or next to the tap pin, (fig.11) until the

flame is small but steady.

Start-up and use

! The position of the corresponding gas burner or

electric hotplate is shown on every knob.

Gas burners

Each burner can be adjusted to one of the

following settings using the corresponding control

knob:

• When the appliance is not in operation,

check that the knobs are in the off

position. The main gas supply cut-off

cock should also be closed.

To switch off the burner, turn the knob in a

clockwise direction until it stops (when it reaches

the “0” position)

N.B. - we recommend the use of pots and pans

with a diameter matching that of the burner, thus

preventing the flame from escaping from the

bottom part and surrounding the pot.

- do not leave any empty pots or pans on the fire

- do not use any tools for grilling-cooking on

Crystal hobs.

When cooking is finished, it is also a good norm to

close the main gas pipe tap and cylinder.
