2  INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE 
 
   
 
  It is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons. Corgi gas installers are 
approved to work to safe and satisfactory standards. All gas installation, servicing and repair work
must be in accordance with the gas safety regulations 1984 (installation and use) as amended 1990. 
It can be placed against walls higher than the hob, at a distance of at least 50 mm from the side of the
appliance, as shown in the drawings A and B relating to the installation classes.  Wall units or extractor
hoods located above the hob must be at least 750 mm away from it.

2.1  Electrical connection 
 
   
 
  Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located 
inside the storage compartment.  
This rating plate must never be removed. 
 
   
 
  If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out 
device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the 
appliance and in an easily reachable position. 
 
   
 
  Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket
must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the
type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure 
that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1
