■ There must be no cross bars beneath the opening. They should be cut back
to at least the size of the opening in the worktop.
■ Protect all cut surfaces of the counter top with a coat of waterproof paint.
■
■
■
The use of a gas cooker causes heat and humidity to build up in the
room where the appliance is installed. As a result, the appliance
should be installed in a well ventilated room.
If the connection plug isn’t accessible, safety measures should be
used with line-protecting cutouts, fuses or contactors with contact
opening at least 3 mm (1/8 inches) wide.
Maintenance and repair work on the appliance must be performed
by a trained technician. The power supply and the gas supply should
always be turned off during repairs or connection. To avoid potential
safety hazards, make sure all installation, service and maintenance
has been performed according to guidelines.
■ Additional space for the gas connection is required below the cook top.
■ The wall connection strip must be made of heat-resistant material and must
have no sockets in the area around the cook top. Use a support strip made
of plastic with a covering strip made of aluminum. The lateral part on the
counter top must not be longer than one inch.
■ The wall above the wall connection strip in the area around the appliance
must be made of non-flammable material. Do not use wood, plastic, PVC,
foil etc.
■ During normal use, very high temperatures may affect the surrounding items
of furniture. Protect all plastic finish or veneer of built-in kitchen furnishings
with a heat-resistant adhesive (100°C/225°F).
■
■
Make sure all connections between the appliance and the cylinder
are tight and leak-proof.
Make sure the freely laid supply hoses aren't placed on the cook top
and can't be jammed or wedged.
Gasket
■ Before installing the cook top and any time that it’s removed, the gasket
should be checked for signs of damage and to make sure it fits perfectly.
If necessary, put in a new gasket. Don’t use any additional adhesives like
silicone, because plastic-coated counter tops can be damaged when the
cook top is removed.
Exception: Uneven counter tops (i.e. ceramic tiles) require a gasket made
of a heat-resistant, permanently elastic sealing material (i.e. with silicone,
suitable for ceramic surfaces). Only apply this sealing material around the
edge of the cook top. Don’t apply the sealing mass underneath the cook
top onto the counter top or the work surface will be damaged when the
cook top is removed.
■
■
This appliance must be earthed.
Don't lift the cook top out of the recess with a screwdriver or you
could damage the frame of the cook top. Press the cook top out of
the recess from underneath to remove it.
This appliance must be grounded into a 120-volt grounded outlet.
Do not remove the round grounding plug from the plug. It is your
personal responsibility to make sure you have a properly grounded
three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
■
■
This appliance is not connected to a pipe for extracting combustion
products. It must be installed and connected according to the appli-
cable installation conditions. It’s very important to provide appropriate
ventilation.
Installation dimensions
■ The distances at the front, rear and sides of the cook top opening must
conform to the measurements shown in the drawing. The edges at the front
and the rear are based on a counter top depth of 600 mm (23-5/8”). The
rear edge will be wider for counter tops of greater depth.
■
■
No modifications should be made to the appliance without the explicit
consent of the manufacturer.
A shut-off valve must be installed within less than 3' of appliance. A
maximum of 3' flex connection is allowed between the valve and the
appliance.
The shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible location in the
gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or
shutting off gas to the appliance.
■ High cupboards located at the side of the cook top should be located at
least 300 mm (12") away.
■ Hoods and cabinets above the cook top should be at least 650 mm (26")
away from the cook top.The maximum depth of cabinets installed above the
