Installation
The following instructions should be read by a qualified technician
to ensure that the appliance is installed, regulated and technically
serviced correctly in compliance with current regulations.
Important: remember to unplug the appliance from the
mains before regulating the appliance or carrying out any
maintenance work.
Positioning
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in permanently
ventilated rooms according to the British Standards Codes Of
Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
The following requirements must be observed:
a) The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting room with a
volume of less than 20m 3 . If it is installed in a room of volume
less than 5m 3 an air vent of effective area of 110cm 2 is required,
if it is installed in a room of volume between 5m 3 and 10m 3 a
supplementary airvent area of 50cm2 is required, if the volume
exceeds 11m
3 no airvent is required. However, if the room has
a door or a window which opens directly to the outside no air
vent is required even when the volume is between 5m
3 and
11m 3 .
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider it
necessary to open a window to the outside to improve ventilation.
c) If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room,
B.S.5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should, be consulted to
determine the requisite air vent requirements.
Levelling your appliance (only on a few models)
Your cooker is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance. If
necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings in the
corners of the cooker base.
Mounting the legs (only on a few models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your cooker.
Installation of the cooker
The appliance can therefore be installed next to cabinets, provided
the height does not exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed
touching walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 50°C above room
temperature. For a correct installation of the cooker the following
precautions must be followed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or
bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
b) The furniture units next to the cooker, that is higher than the
working boards, must be placed at least 110mm from the
edge of the board. Curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker or within 110 mm. of the sides of the cooker.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements
in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the base
units, providing that the lower edge of the wall cabinet is a
minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop. The minimum
distance combustible material kitchen units can be fitted
directly above the worktop is 700 mm (Fig. A).
e) The wall in contact with the back of the cooker must be of
flameproof material.
f) The cooker is fitted with a safety chain that must be attached to
a hook, secured to the wall behind the appliance.
Note: some models can have their gas connection inverted.
It is important to make sure the safety chain is always situated
on the side which corresponds to the hose holder (Fig. B).

Gas connection
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi
registered installer. During installation of this product it is essential
to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance
for the convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing.
Connection of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must
be carried out according to the prescribed regulation in force,
and only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type of
gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”. In the case
of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that
conform to the regulation in force. The gas supply must be
connected to the left of the appliance. Be sure that the hose
does not pass through the rear of the cooker touching hot parts.
HOT PARTS
Important: make sure the supply pressure conforms with the values
shown in the table entitled “Caracteristics of the burners and nozzles”.
When the cooker is installed between cabinets (recessed),
the gas connection must be effected by an approved flexible
hose with bayonet fitting (BS 669 Current Edition). The gas
