[. . . ] IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION CARRY OUT A BRIEF INSPECTION TEST OF THE COOKING HOB, FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. SHOULD THE APPLIANCE NOT FUNCTION, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE SUPPLY AND CALL THE NEAREST TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE CONTROL KNOBS ARE IN THE POSITION (OFF) WHEN YOU FINISH USING THE HOB. THE IDENTIFICATION PLATE, WITH TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND MARKING IS CLEARLY VISIBLE UNDER THE CASING. THE PLATE ON THE CASING MUST NOT BE REMOVED. 4 Introduction DO NOT PUT PANS WITHOUT PERFECTLY SMOOTH AND FLAT BOTTOMS ON THE COOKING HOB GRIDS. DO NOT USE RECIPIENTS OR GRIDDLE PLATES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE EXTERNAL PERIMETER OF THE HOB. THE HOB IS TO BE USED BY ADULTS ONLY. [. . . ] Before the appliance is operated make certain all relevant parts are placed in the correct position. When the installation is completed the installation connections of appliance will require to be leak tested, the burner operating pressure and flame checked and adjusted. To check the operating pressure of the appliance it is recommended at least 2 large size burners are used. The regulator supplied must be fitted to the ½ BSP thread at the rear of the appliance. A separate test point fitting must be installed between the piping & the appliance for the pressure to be checked to ensure it is operating at 2. 75kPa. 8 Instructions for the installer 3. 1 Clearance above and around domestic appliances Extract from AS5601 REQUIREMENTS 1 Overhead clearances – (Measurement A) Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the cooking appliance and a range hood be less than 600 mm or, for an overhead exhaust fan, 750 mm. Any other downward facing combustible surface less than 600 mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with Clause 5. 12. 1. 2. However, in no case shall this clearance to any surface be less than 450 mm. 9 Instructions for the installer 2 Side clearances – (Measurements B & C) Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, is less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with Clause 5. 12. 1. 2 to a height C of not less than 150 mm above the hob for the full dimension (width or depth) of the cooking surface area. Where the cooking appliance is fitted with a ‘splashback’, protection of the rear wall is not required. Additional requirements for Freestanding and Elevated Cooking Appliaces – (Measurements D & E) Where D, the distance from the periphery of the nearest burner to a horizontal combustible surface is less than 200 mm, then E shall be 10 mm or more, or the horizontal surface shall be above the trivet. NOTES 1 Requirement 3 does not apply to a freestanding or elevated cooking appliance which is designed to prevent flames or the cooking vessels from extending beyond the periphery of the appliance. The ‘cooking surface area’ is defined as that part of the appliance where cooking normally takes place and does not include those parts of the appliance containing control knobs. Consideration is to be given to window treatments when located near cooking appliances. See Clause 5. 3. 4. 3 2 3 4 5 3. 2 Room ventilation Caution – This hob may only be installed and operated in rooms permanently ventilated in accordance with current regulations. For proper operation of a gas appliance it is essential for the air necessary for combustion of the gas to be able to flow naturally into the room. Air must flow directly into the room through openings in its outside walls. This (these) opening (s) must have a free passage cross-section of at least 100 cm2, or 200 cm2 for appliances not equipped with gas safety device. These openings must be constructed so that they cannot be obstructed indoors or outdoors, and should preferably be close to the floor on the side opposite to the combustion gas discharge point. [. . . ] Any dry residue should be removed with a toothpick or a needle. 16 Instructions for the user 7. 3 Preventive maintenance This appliance does not need any special maintenance. However, a few simple operations have to be carried out periodically to prevent malfunctioning: Burners: the burners must be cleaned periodically to ensure correct combustion; make sure that all the openings and flame ports are clean and free of obstacles, and that the burners rest firmly on their supports. Flexible pipes: if a flexible pipe is used, it must be inspected periodically (once a year) for leakages: if the surface of the pipe appears rigid and cracked, disconnect immediately the cooker from the gas supply and replace the pipe with a new one. Valves: if the gas valves get stuck or hard to turn, they need to be cleaned and re-greased; this operation must be carried out by an authorised person. 17 Instructions for the user 8. [. . . ]
