appliance results in the
production of heat, moisture
and products of combustion
in the room in which it is
installed. Ensure that the
kitchen is well ventilated
especially when the
appliance is in use.
Prolonged intensive use of
the appliance may require
additional ventilation, for
example the increasing of
mechanical ventilation where
present, additional
ventilation to safely remove
the products of combustion
to outside (external) air
whilst also providing room
air changes with additional
ventilation. Consult a
qualified person before
installation of the additional
ventilation.

may splash.
WARNING!
Risk of fire and explosion
• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and
oils when you cook with them.
• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.
• Used oil, that can contain food
remnants, can cause fire at a lower

them on the cooking surface.
• Use only stable cookware with the
correct shape and diameter larger
than the dimensions of the burners.
• Make sure cookware is centrally
positioned on the burners.

3. INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
3.1 Before the installation
Before you install the hob, write down the
information below from the rating plate.
The rating plate is on the bottom of the
hob.
Model .......................................
PNC .........................................
Serial number ...........................
3.2 Important safety
requirements
This hob must be installed in accordance
with the Gas Safety (Installation and
Use) Regulations (Current Edition) and
the IEE Wiring Regulations (Current
Edition).
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
www.aeg.com8
determine the requisite air vent
requirements.
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.
3.3 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.
1/2
1/2
A B C
A. End of shaft with nut
B. Washer supplied with the appliance
C. Elbow supplied with the appliance
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.
Make sure that the main connection pipe
does not exert any strain on the hob.
If you use flexible metal pipes make sure
that they agree to ISO 10380 and ISO
10807 standards. Be careful they do not
come in touch with mobile parts or they
are not squeezed. Also be careful when
the hob is put together with an oven.
CAUTION!
It is important to install the
elbow correctly, with the
shoulder on the end of the
thread, fitted to the hob
connecting pipe.
CAUTION!
Failure to ensure the correct
assembly will cause leakage
of gas.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the gas
supply pressure of the
appliance obeys the
recommended values.
Rigid connection:
Carry out connection by using metal rigid
pipes (copper with mechanical end).
3.4 Injectors replacement
1. Remove the pan supports.
2. Remove the caps and crowns of the
burner.
3. With a socket spanner 7 remove the
injectors and replace them with the
ones which are necessary for the
type of gas you use (see table in
"Technical Data" chapter).
4. Assemble the parts, follow the same
procedure backwards.
5. Attach the label with the new type of
gas supply near the gas supply pipe.
You can find this label in the package
supplied with the appliance.
If the supply gas pressure is changeable
or different from the necessary pressure,
you must fit an applicable pressure
adjuster on the gas supply pipe.

5. If you change:
• from natural gas G20 20 mbar to
liquid gas, fully tighten the bypass
screw in.
• from liquid gas to natural gas G20
20 mbar, undo the bypass screw
approximately 1/4 of a turn (1/2 of
a turn for Multi Crown burner).
6. Reassemble the magnet holder and
the knob.
WARNING!
Make sure the flame does
not go out when you quickly
turn the knob from the
maximum position to the
minimum position.
3.6 Electrical connection
• Do not pull the mains cable to
disconnect the appliance. Always pull
the mains plug (if applicable).
• The appliance must not be connected
with an extension cable, an adapter or
a multiple socket. There is a risk of
fire.
• Do not let the power cable to heat up
to a temperature of more than 90° C.
The cable should be guided by means
of clamps fixed to the side of the
cabinet, in order to avoid any contact
with the appliance beneath the
cooktop.
• Make sure that there is access to the
mains plug after the installation.
If the pilot lights turn on after
connecting the hob to the
mains, turn on and off the
control knob and wait until
the residual heat indicator
goes out.
Electrical Requirements
Permanent electrical installation must
agree with the latest I.E.E. Regulations
and local Electricity Board regulations.
