Provision for ventilation

Detailed recommendations are contained in the following British Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions.

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 100 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.

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.

For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland please refer to the NSAI- Domestic Gas Installation I.S. 813 Current Editions Table Four.

Location

The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/ diner or bed sitting room (with a volume greater than 20 m³), but not in a bathroom or shower room.

The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob in line with the edges of 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.

For appliances installed in the Republic of Ireland please refer to NSAI- Domestic Gas Installation I.S 813 Current Edition Section 7- Permitted Locations of Appliance.

GAS CONNECTION

WARNING! Any gas installation must be carried out by a GAS SAFE REGISTER installer.

Make sure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this instruction booklet be ignored.

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.
