Instructions for the Installer

3 POSITIONING OF THE HOB
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by authorised
persons.
Clearance around the appliance must comply with the requirements of
AS5601.
The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work so must
be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried
out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic
laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (T 90°C).
3.1 Attachment to support structure
Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the top
surface of the counter, keeping a minimum distance of 50 mm from the
rear border.
This appliance is classified as “type Y” in relation to fire hazards and
can therefore be mounted against walls higher than the work surface on
condition that a certain distance “X” be kept between the appliance and
the wall as shown in the figure so as to avoid damage from
overheating.
Make sure there is a minimum of 750 mm between the hot plate flames
and any shelf that may be installed directly above them.
Carefully position the insulating seal supplied on the outer perimeter of
the hole made in the counter top as shown in figure 4 (the dimensions
in the figure refer from the hole to the inside of the seal), trying to
ensure that it sticks across the whole of its surface by applying light
pressure with your hands. Fix the hob to the unit using the appropriate
brackets B and spacer A as shown in figures 1, 2 and 3. Spacer A will
help to keep the hob top at the right distance from the edge of the
counter top to avoid future overheating during operation and must be
used solely in the front left-hand corner of the appliance. Carefully
trim the surplus away from edge C beyond the seal (Fig.5).
