Introduction Thank you for buying this British built appliance from Belling, this book is intended to assist you with the installing and use of your hob and we recommend that you read it fully before installation and use. Your 1st Year Guarantee To fulfil the conditions of your guarantee, this appliance must be correctly installed and operated, in accordance with these instructions, and only be used for normal domestic purposes.
Gas & Electrical connection Before installing and using the hob for the first time, remove any packaging or protective polythene film. Please refer to installation instructions for the Gas & Electrical Safety Regulations and the Ventilation Requirements.
Be safe - not sorry (large flame symbol). Keep the knob depressed after the burner has lit for up to 15 seconds to allow the flame to establish. Turn the control knob to the desired setting. Caution: When you are cooking, keep children away from the vicinity of the hob. • Parts of the appliance may be hot during or immediately after use. Allow sufficient time for the hob to cool after switching off. • Never use the appliance for heating a room.
Adjust the burner flame so that it does not extend over the pan base. Do not use griddle plates on this appliance, as this may be hazardous. Pans Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard. Using the hob Material and size of pan, as well as quantity and type of food to be cooked, can affect cooking times.
Pan supports Note Always make sure the pan supports are replaced correctly, located in the hob spillage well, and that all rubber feet are in place, to prevent instability. Extra care should be taken when cooking food in salted water. Some foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit juices and especially salt - they can mark or damage stainless steel if they are left on the surface. Turn off and wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid skin contact with any hot surface or spillage.
Care & Cleaning Any brownish coloured marks on the burners are carbon deposits or fat stains, which can be removed by gently rubbing with a soapy pad. Caution: Any cleaning agent used incorrectly may damage the hob. Important: The burner caps and heads must be repositioned correctly so that they sit squarely onto the hob as shown below. Always let the hob cool before cleaning. Some cooking operations generate a considerable amount of grease.
Control knobs Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but marks will become less noticeable with time. Only use hot soapy water. When cleaning the fascia area, care must be taken on symbols / markings. Control knobs can be removed for cleaning, but take care to ensure that they are repositioned correctly after cleaning. To maintain the finish of stainless steel, or to remove any greasy marks, wipe the stainless steel surface sparingly with a minimum amount of Baby Oil and kitchen paper.
Installation Failure to comply with these Regulations is a criminal offence. This appliance must be installed in accordance with the regulations in force, and only in a well ventilated space. Read the instructions before using or installing this appliance. Where regulations or standards have been revised since this handbook was printed, always use the latest edition. This appliance will be factory set for use on either natural gas only, or LPG only.
In the UK the regulations and standards are as follows (inclusive of successive issues: 1. Gas Safety Regulations (Installation and Use). • If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, or the room exceeds 10m3 NO AIR VENT is required. • 2. Building Regulations - Issued by the Department of the Environment. For room volumes between 5m3 and 10m3 an air vent of 50cm2 is required.
Clearances & dimensions We recommend ceramic tiling for the rear wall directly behind the hob. The room should have good light and ventilation but be free from draughts. No shelf or overhang of combustible material should be closer than 650mm above the hob. The worktop should be at least 600mm deep, & 30mm thick to enable the cutout to be made to the dimensions shown below. Extractor or cooker hoods should only be fitted above the hob in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Important Information Failure to follow these instructions can lead to exessive force being applied to the basetray, which results in the clearence between the control knob and the hob top pressing being reduced. This can effect the operation of the gas control, and the ignition. It is important when installing front control gas hobs, that the work top cut out is the same as is quoted in this installation manual.
Fit the hob into the cutout & secure to worktop Place the hob into the cutout and secure in place using the four brackets and screws provided. The brackets should be orientated to suit the worktop thickness as shown, then inserted into the four slots (two on the front edge and two on the rear) and screwed into the underside of the worktop using the woodscrews provided.
Installation advice - cabinetry Any modifications must ensure that the strength of the cabinet is maintained. Dealing with sides, cross-rails and back-panels in cabinetry Back-panel Depending on the cabinets, the worktop thickness and the hob positioning, it is possible for the hob base, the clamp brackets and/or the gas connection to interfere with parts of the cabinet. These can be dealt with as follows: 1.
Alternative clamp positions If the front and rear clamp positions are problematic, alternative positions can be used on the sides of the hob, dependant on the particular installation. These positions will require clearance from any cabinet sides and may effect how tightly the hob will meet the worktop. Stone (Granite or equivalent) worktops Depending on the type of worktop being used, there may or may not be any backing material to screw the clamp screws into. 1.
Connect gas hob to gas supply Connect the mains lead wires to the terminals: The inlet is at the rear RHS of the hob. The hob may be connected to the gas supply either by rigid pipework or flexible connection. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) LOAD or coloured black. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live) LOAD or coloured red. Flexible connections Use a 900mm - 1125mm length of flexible connector.
