If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following
products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
Pan Supports
The Hob Top

Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.
IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation,
a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
SYMPTOM
SOLUTION
n There is no spark when lighting the gas
u Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on
u Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
u Check the mains fuse has not blown

Important safety requirements
FITTING THE GAS HOB
WITHOUTACOOKERHOODABOVE
This hob must be installed in accordance with the Gas
Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (Current Edition)
and the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current Edition).
Detailed recommendations are contained in the following
British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/ B.S.
5440, Part 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.
700 mm
The hob should not be installed in a bed sitting room
with a volume of less than 20 m3. If it is installed in a
room of volume less than 5 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 110 cm2 is required. If it is installed in a room of
volume between 5 m3 and 10 m3 an air vent of effective
area of 50 cm2 is required, while if the volume exceeds
11 m3 no air vent is required.
400 mm
55 mm
400 mm
100 mm
50 mm
However, if the room has a door which opens directly to
the outside no air vent is required even if the volume is
between 5 m3 and 11 m3.
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.

Location
The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or
bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom, shower room or
garage.

Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that the
edges of the hob that are to be near either a side or rear
wall have a minimum distance of 55 mm. between the
edge of the hob and the wall.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted
above the hob is 400 mm. If it is fitted below 400 mm. a
space of 50 mm. must be allowed from the edges of the
hob.

Installation
IMPORTANT
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Thishobmustbeinstalledbyqualifiedpersonnel
to the relevant British Standards.
Once the hob has been installed, it is important to
remove any protective materials, which were put
on in the factory.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
registered CORGI installer.
On the end of the shaft, which includes the G 1/2"
threaded elbow, adjustment is fixed so that the washer
is fitted between the components as shown in the
diagram. Screw the parts together without using excessive
force.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
8
Gas Connection
Connection to the gas supply should be with either rigid
or semi-rigid pipe, i.e. steel or copper.
The connection should be suitable for connecting to R
1/2 (1/2 BSP male thread).
When the final connection has been made, it is essential
that a thorough leak test is carried out on the hob and
installation.
Ensure that the main connection pipe does not exert
any strain on the hob.
A) End of shaft with nut
B) Washer
C) Elbow
FO 0264
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the
hob connecting pipe.

removable to allow easy access if technical
assistance is needed. The space behind the kitchen

Fitting the Hob into the worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as follows:
•
put the seals supplied with the hob, on the
edges of the cut out taking care that the seals
meet without overlapping;
place the hob in the cut out, taking care that it
is centred;
fix the hob with the relevant fixing clamps and
screws, as shown in the diagram. When the
screws have been tightened, the excess seal
can be removed.

FO 0199
The edge of the hob forms a double seal which prevents
the ingress of liquids.
a) Sealing gasket
Electrical connections
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is
a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that
the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Any electrical work required to install this hob
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person, in accordance with the current
regulations.
Permanent Connection
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the hob
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap
of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance with the current
electric regulations.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V
50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not come
into contact with surfaces with temperatures
higher than 50 deg. C.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of having to
change the fuse, a 3ampASTAapproved (BS 1362) fuse
must be used.
Supply cable replacement
The cable used to connect the hob to the electrical supply
must comply to the specifications given below.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the
wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:

Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over
the outer sheath.
