Ventilation requirements
The installer must refer to the current local regulations.
For the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland only:
Important!
Regardless of room size, all rooms containing the appliance must have direct access to the outside air
via an openable window or equivalent. Some rooms require permanent ventilation in addition to the
openable window, as detailed below.
The appliance should NOT be installed in a bed-sitting room of volume less than 20 m3.
The appliance should be installed in a room or space with an air supply in accordance with BS
5440:2 2000.
For rooms with a volume of less than 5 m3, permanent ventilation through a free area of at least
100 cm2 will be required.
For rooms with a volume between 5 m3 and 10 m3, permanent ventilation through a free area of
at least 50 cm2 will be required, unless the room has a door which opens directly to the outside
air, in which case no permanent ventilation is required.
For rooms with a volume greater than 10 m3, no permanent ventilation is required.
Where there are other fuel-burning appliances in the same room, BS 5440-2: 2000 should be
consulted to determine the correct amount of free area ventilation requirements.
The above requirements also allow for use of a gas oven and grill, but you need to consult a
qualified engineer if there are other gas-burning appliances in the same room.

Installation instructions
Electrical connection requirements
This appliance must be connected to a 220-240 V 50 Hz power supply only and earthed via
the power supply cable. In the United Kingdom, the suitably earthed three-pin plug must be
protected by a 3 A fuse.
A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply must be
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring
rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air
gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules
allow for this variation of the requirements). The isolating switch MUST be easily accessible to
the customer with the appliance installed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a cable of the same type. It can
only be replaced by the manufacturer, its Service Agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid a hazard.
Note: This appliance is supplied with a power supply cable with a plug suited to the country of
sale.
For the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland only:
The power supply cable supplied is fitted with a BS1363, 13 A three-pin plug with a 3 A fuse. If
this plug does not fit the power outlet in the house where the appliance is installed, it should be
replaced with a suitable plug as outlined below. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be
replaced with a fuse rated at 3 A and complying with BS1362.
The wires in the power supply cable are coloured as follows:
Green & Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live
As the colours of the wires in the power supply cable may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The green & yellow wire must be connected to the terminal marked E ( Earth) or coloured
green.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N (Neutral) or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L (Live) or coloured red.

11
Installation instructions
Special requirements for CG604DWFC and CG905DWFC models
Gas connection to these cooktops MUST use the elbow supplied. Where a regulator is required
to satisfy local market regulations, it must be connected to the elbow to prevent gas leakage.
In some countries, the supplied elbow has a 1/2” taper male thread (Fig. 2a). In other countries,
the supplied elbow has a 1/2” parallel male thread and a conical adaptor (1/2” taper male
thread) may be supplied as well (Fig.2b).
Important!
The conical adaptor (if supplied) must be used only in the countries where it is required by the applicable
local regulations. Note: if installing the conical adaptor, remember to fit the fibre washer supplied between
the adaptor and the elbow.
Ensure the fibre washer (supplied) is located between the elbow (supplied) and cooktop gas
inlet (Figs. 2a and 2b). Failure to use this washer will cause the connection to leak. Tighten the
floating nut to firm finger tight, plus an additional ¼ turn (90o).
Gas connection with a flexible hose
Use a 900-1125 mm long flexible hose and ensure that all pipework is of correct rating for both
size and temperature.
The flexible hose shall be fitted in such a way that it cannot come into contact with a movable
part (eg drawer) and does not pass through any space susceptible of becoming congested.
Ensure that the appliance is restrained or secured so that the flexible hose cannot be strained.
The hose assembly must be as short as practicable and comply with relevant standards
requirements.
The hose must not be kinked, subjected to abrasion or permanently deformed.
The hose must not be near or in contact with any hot surfaces (eg base of metal hotplate, flue or
chassis of underbench oven etc).
For Natural gas (G20, G25, or G20/G25 depending on gas category):
In the United Kingdom, the flexible hose should comply with BS669. Parts of the appliance likely
to come in contact with a flexible hose have a temperature of less than 70oC.
In all other countries, the flexible hose should comply with local regulations and standards.
For LPG (G30 G31):
In the United Kingdom, use a bayonet-type hose suitable for use on LPG up to 50 mbar pressure
rise. The flexible hose must be certified for LPG and comply with local regulations and standards.
In all other countries, the flexible hose should comply with local regulations and standards.

Using your cooktop
If a burner does not light
Turn the control dial to O (OFF) and wait at least 1 minute before trying again. This
is to allow the gas to disperse. If after trying again the burner still does not light, check that:
the cooktop is plugged in and the power supply is switched on
there is no power failure in your home or neighborhood
the gas is turned on
the gas bottle is not empty (if you use bottled gas)
you have allowed at least 5 seconds for the valve to open when lighting the first burner
(CG905DWAC models only)
the ignitors are sparking. If they are not sparking, they may be dirty or wet. Clean them with
a toothbrush and methylated spirits, as shown in Fig. 13 below. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for
instructions on removing and replacing the burner parts.

Using your cooktop
If there is a power failure
Models with auto-reignition (CG905DWAC)
The gas supply will be cut off, even if a burner is in use.
The cooktop cannot be used if there is a power failure. Wait until power is restored.
If a control dial is still turned on when the power is restored, the corresponding ‘Burner On’
indicator light will flash rapidly. Turn the burner off and light it again to resume cooking.
Models with flame failure protection (CG905DWFC, CG604DWFC)
You can still use your cooktop.
Light the burners by holding a match close to the side of the burner and pressing down then
turning the control dial to HIGH. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting.
If the flame is accidentally extinguished
Models with auto-reignition (CG905DWAC)
The auto-reignition system will detect this. The ignitors will spark and relight the
burner. If no flame is detected after about 5 seconds, the gas supply to the cooktop
will be cut off and the ‘Burner On’ indicator will flash slowly. In this event, turn the burner
off and relight it to resume cooking. See also ‘Troubleshooting’.
Models with flame failure protection(CG905DWFC, CG604DWFC)
The flame failure protection will automatically cut the gas supply to the burner off.
Turn the corresponding dial to O (OFF) and do not try to relight it for at least 1
minute (to allow the gas to disperse).

Cooking guidelines and cookware
Cooking guidelines
Important!
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
Start cooking on a high setting. When food comes to the boil, reduce the setting and maintain a
steady heat to cook your food thoroughly. Doing this will reduce the cooking time.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
Cookware
Fig. 17 Efficient and inefficient saucepan bases
Use saucepans with thick flat bases. Food in a saucepan with an uneven base will take longer to
cook.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench, as this can deflect heat onto your
benchtop and damage its surface.
Always make sure saucepans are stable. Using very heavy saucepans may bend the pan supports
or deflect the flame.
Make sure the size of the pan matches the size of the burner. A small pot on a large burner is not
efficient.The following table shows the minimum and maximum saucepan base diameters that
may be used on each burner:

On CG604DWFC and CG905DWFC models, a wok must always be used with the wok stand
supplied. See Fig.18.
The centre pan support of CG905DWAC models is shaped to take a traditional wok with a round
base, but you may also use a wok stand for extra stability (not supplied, purchased optionally).
Make sure the wok does not push any other pans aside. This could make them unstable, or
deflect heat onto nearby walls or the benchtop.
Important!
Make sure that the wok stand is stable: its notches need to fit tightly on the grating.
Note: to purchase additional wok stands, contact Customer Care.

Care and cleaning
Important!
Before any cleaning or maintenance, always:
turn all burners off
disconnect the cooktop from the power supply
make sure that the cooktop and its parts are a safe temperature to touch.
General advice
Clean the cooktop regularly—do not let stains become burnt on.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your cooktop. Some nylon
scourers may also scratch. Check the label.
Make sure that no cleaner residue is left on any cooktop part; when heated, these could stain the
cooktop.
See the following pages for instructions on replacing the pan supports and reassembling the
burners correctly after cleaning.
Do not clean cooktop parts in a self-cleaning oven.
Do not use a steam cleaner.

These parts are also dishwasher safe.
To remove discolouration and for extra
shine, clean the brass wok burner parts
with brass cleaner (CG905DWAC models
only).
Clean these very carefully using a toothbrush
and methylated spirits (see Fig. 13).
The ignitor ensures trouble-free
sparking and the probe ensures
that the safety valves operate
correctly. Check the ignitor and
probe regularly to make sure
they are clean.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible solutions
Models with auto-reignition (CG905DWAC)
There is a power failure.
The gas supply will be cut off, even if a burner is in use.
The cooktop cannot be used if there is a power failure. Wait
until power is restored.
If a control dial is still turned on when the power is restored,
the corresponding ‘Burner On’ indicator will flash rapidly.
Turn the burner off and light it again to resume cooking.
Models with flame failure protection (CG905DWFC, CG604DWFC)
You can still use your cooktop.
Light the burners by holding a match close to the side of the
burner and pressing down then turning the control dial to
HIGH. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting.
Models with auto-reignition (CG905DWAC)
The flame has
accidentally been
extinguished.
The auto-reignition system will detect this. The ignitors will
spark and relight the burner.
If no flame is detected after about 5 seconds, the gas supply
to the cooktop will be cut off and the ‘Burner On’ indicator
will flash slowly. In this event, turn the burner off and relight
it to resume cooking.
Models with flame failure protection (CG905DWFC, CG604DWFC)
The flame failure protection will automatically cut the gas
supply to the burner off.
Turn the corresponding dial to O (OFF) and do not try to
relight it for at least 1 minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
Turn all the control dials to O (OFF) and restart.
CG905DWAC models
only: All my ‘Burner On’
indicators are flashing.
