SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to
the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not
be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the cooking
areas.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE BURNERS.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the
flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or
fat fires.

SOMETHING WRONG ?
IF THE IGNITION DOES NOT WORK
Is the electricity switched on?
If the electricity supply has failed, the burners can be lit with a match.
If only a hotplate burner is failing to ignite, check that the burner body and cap are
seated correctly and that the slots in the burner body are not blocked (see care
and cleaning).
May we wish you many years of carefree successful cooking.

INSTALLATION - electrical requirements
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
CONNECT TO A 230-240V A.C. SUPPLY ONLY.
Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible
wall socket which is adjacent to but not directly above, and not more than 1.25m away from the
appliance and capable of electrical isolation.
Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a
suitable plug as outlined below.
NOTE: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be
properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply
socket – with the obvious consequent danger.
IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED
The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below to a three pin plug of not less
than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S. 1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3 amp fuse which
is approved to B.S. 1362.
Green &
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to
Yellow to
this appliance are coloured in
Earth
accordance with the following code:
Brown to
GREEN AND YELLOW – EARTH
Blue to
Neutral
Live
BLUE
– NEUTRAL
– LIVE
3 Amp
Fuse
BROWN
Cord Clamp
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire which is
coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is
coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all
strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead
clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, do not use 2-pin
sockets outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be
carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the
same size i.e. 0.75mm2 cross sectional area and temperature rating of 850 C e.g. heat resisting
PVC.
IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED
In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS1362
must be fitted.
NOTE: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the
fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and
fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electricity Board. The colour of the
correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
Make sure that the cable does not become trapped.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distributions (nature of the gas and gas
pressure) and the adjustment conditions are compatible. The adjustment conditions
for this appliance are stated on the rating plate which is fitted on the underside of
the base panel. This appliance is not designed to be connected to a combustion
products evacuation device. It must be installed and connected in accordance with
current installation regulations. Particular attention should be given to the relevant
requirements regarding ventilation.
GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION & USE) REGULATIONS
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in accordance
with the current edition of the above regulations. It is in your interest and that of
safety to ensure compliance with the law.
In the UK, CORGI registered installers work to safe standards of practice.
The cooker must also be installed in accordance with BS 6172:
Failure to install the cooker correctly could invalidate the warranty liability claims and
could lead to prosecution.
LOCATION
The cooker may be located in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting room, but not
in a room containing a bath or shower. The cooker must not be installed in a bed-
sitting room of less than 20m3.
PROVISION FOR VENTILATION
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with BS
5440: Part 2.
The room must have an opening window or equivalent; some rooms may also
require a permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5 and 10m3, it will
require an air vent of 50cm2 effective area unless it has a door which opens directly
to outside. If the room has a volume of less than 5m3, it will require an air vent of
100cm2 effective area. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room,
BS 5440: Part 2 should be consulted to determine air vent requirements.

INSTALLATION
SITING THE HOB
The hob is designed to fit into worktop and base unit(s) with a cutout as shown in
Fig.1. Any obstruction such as supports or side panels must be removed to allow
30mm minimum depth below the worktop cutout. Any overhead surface of
combustible material must not be closer than 600mm. When installing next to a tall
cupboard, partition or wall, for a minimum distance of 400mm above the hotplate a
side clearance of at least 40mm should be allowed from the edge of the cutout. This
is a type X appliance regarding installation requirements, it is recommended that a
shelf is fitted to the cabinet under the hob, but no closer than 10mm to prevent
access to the underside of the hob which will become hot when in use.
If a cooker hood is to be installed refer to the manufacturer’s instructions regarding
fixing heights.
FITTING THE HOB
Unpack the hob from the carton.
Remove the bag containing the sealing tape, fixing brackets, screws and gas inlet
elbow.
Fit the sealing tape around the edge of the cut-out in the worktop.
Connect the gas inlet elbow supplied to the end of the hob gas pipe. During
installation, it is important not to twist the hob gas pipe when connecting to or
adjusting the position of the gas inlet elbow to avoid the possibility of disturbing gas
tight joints inside the hob. Ensure that the inlet is held securely:
*
*
When loosening or tightening the hob gas pipe securing nut.
When connecting fittings to it.
Also, ensure that connecting pipe work does not twist the inlet elbow away from its
free position.
Lower the hob into the worktop ensuring the mains lead is fed into the base unit and
is not trapped under the flanges.
Fix the hob to the worktop using the fixing brackets and screws.
NB Do not over tighten the hob clamps as distortion of the hob may occur.
Connect the hob to the gas supply and check for gas soundness. If a flexible hose is
used for connection, it should be fitted such that it cannot come into contact with
moveable parts of the housing (e.g. a drawer), does not pass through a space where
it is likely to become trapped or damaged and hangs freely downwards. The tem-
perature rise of the area of the base panel likely to come into contact with a flexible
hose does not exceed 70ºC
Connection must be by rigid pipework when the hob is installed above an oven.
Put the burner rings and caps into position.
Connect the hob to the electrical supply (see INSTALLATION - Electrical
Requirements).
Ensure that the hob is functioning correctly prior to use. Instruct the user in the
operation of the hob.
