Installation
IMPORTANT:
This hob must be installed by a
competent person to the relevant Gas Standards.
Any gas installation must be carried out by a
competent person.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should
the above instructions or any of the other safety
instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED
Once the hob has been installed, it is important to
remove any protective materials, which were put
on in the factory.
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.
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.

Conversion from LPG to Natural Gas
IMPORTANT
The replacement/conversion of the gas hob should only
be undertaken by a competent person.
It is important to note that this model is designed for use
with LPG gas but can be converted for use with Natural
gas providing the correct injectors are fitted and the gas
rate is adjusted to suit.
Method
•
Ensure that the gas taps are in the 'OFF' position
•
Isolate the hob from the electrical supply
•
Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings, crowns
and control knobs.
•
With the aid of a 7mm box spanner the burner injectors
can then be unscrewed and replaced by the
appropriate Natuaral gas injectors.
To adjust the gas rate
To adjust the minimum level of the burners, proceed as
follows:
•
Light the burner.
•
Turn the knob on the minimum position.
•
Remove the knob.
•
With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw.
If changing from LPG to natural gas unscrew about
1/4 turn the by-pass screw, until a small regular flame
is obtained.
If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely
tighten clockwise the screw, until a small regular
flame is obtained.
•
Finally check the flame does not go out when quickly
turning the knob from the maximum position to the
minimum position.
This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the
hob has been positioned or built in the working top.
