Compliance with standards
This cooktop must be installed by an authorised person in accordance with
the requirements of local gas and electrical authorities, as well as the latest
published versions of the following standards:
• AS/NZS 5601 Gas installation and pipe sizing
• SAA Wiring Rules.
Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking
or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified and authorised professional
according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm
to people and animals or may damage property.
Kitchen Ventilation
Where the total input of all appliances exceeds 3 MJ/h for each cubic metre
of the room or enclosure volume, the space shall be ventilated by one of
the methods detailed below. For the purpose of assessing the adequacy of
ventilation, the space that cannot be isolated by doors is the 'volume of a room'.
Natural ventilation direct from outside
Two permanent openings shall be provided directly to outside. The openings
shall be located to ensure the distance between the top of the upper opening
and the ceiling of the room or enclosure, and the distance between the bottom
of the lower opening and the floor of the room or enclosure does not exceed
5% of the height of the room or enclosure. The minimum free ventilation area
provided by each opening shall be calculated using the following formula:
A = 3 × T
where
A = the minimum free ventilation area (cm
T = the total gas consumption of all appliances (MJ/h)
The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation opening shall be 6 mm.
NOTE 1 When used in this Clause, the term 'directly to outside' means any
one of the following options, provided that the ventilation path is unobstructed
by building material or insulation:
(a) Directly through an outside wall (preferred option).
(b) Through to an outside wall but offset.
(c) Into a cavity ventilated to outside.
(d) Into an under floor space ventilated to outside.
(e) Into a roof space ventilated to outside.
NOTE 2 The two openings may be combined provided that the top and bottom
of the opening reach the limits set by this Clause.
Natural ventilation via adjacent room
Two permanent openings shall be provided in the room or enclosure. The
openings shall be located to ensure the distance between the top of the upper
opening and the ceiling of the room or enclosure, and the distance between
the bottom of the lower opening and the floor of the room or enclosure does
not exceed 5% of the height of the room or enclosure.
The minimum free ventilation area provided by each opening shall be
calculated using the following formula:
6
where
These requirements shall apply to all subsequent rooms until a room is
ventilated to outside, in accordance with the previous section, or the total
input of the appliances does not exceed 3 MJ/h for each cubic metre of the
total volume of the enclosure and rooms.
The minimum vertical dimension of any free ventilation opening shall be 6 mm.
NOTE: The two openings may be combined provided that the top and bottom
of the opening reach the limits set by this Clause.
• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore,
Adjacent cabinetry
The location of connection points is given in the table on page 5 . For trouble-
free operation of appliances installed in housing units, the minimum distances
shown in fig.4 should be observed. It is recommended that the adjacent
kitchen surfaces should be capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C.
Also, the following must be observed:
• The appliance should be installed next to cabinetry which is no taller than
• The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be made
• Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are higher than the top
• If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700
• Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood must be at least 420 mm above

Range hoods
Range hoods and overhead exhaust fans must be installed according to
manufacturers' instructions but in no case shall clearance from hob burners
be less than 650 mm for range hoods and 750 mm for overhead exhaust fans.
• If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700
Fitting the cooktop above an oven
When installing the cooktop above an oven, both the electricity supply cable
and the gas pipe or flexible hose must not touch hot parts of the oven housing.
When installing above a built-under oven without forced cooling ventilation,
suitable air vents should be provided for (inlet at least 200 cm² from the bottom,
outlet at least 120 cm² from the top part) to allow adequate ventilation inside
the housing unit.
Also a wooden panel should be installed beneath the hob as insulation,
positioning it at a minimum distance of 15 mm from the hob housing.
A = 6 × T
A = the minimum free ventilation area (cm
T = the total gas consumption of all appliances (MJ/h)
rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow
gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether
partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or
storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to
keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not
subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
