Indesit KJ1G1: Installation

15

All instruction on the following pages must be carried out

by a competent person (corgi registered) in compliance

with gas safety (installation and use) regulation 1984.

Important: disconnect the cooker from the electrycity

and gas supply when any adjustment, etc.

Positioning your appliance

Important:

 this appliance may be installed and used only

in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current

directives. The following precautions should be taken:

a)

The room must be provided with an external exhaust

system obtained with a hood or with an electric

ventilator that goes on automatically each time the unit

is switched on.

In the case of chimneys or flues

Directly to the

with branches (for cookers)

exterior

b)

The room must be provided with a system for air inflow

which is necessary for a regular combustion. The air

flow necessary for the combustion should be at least 2

m

3

/h for kW of installed power. The system may be

realized by drawing the air directly from outside the

building through a pipe that has at least a 100 cm

2

useable section and which must not be accidently

obstructed (Fig. A). And further it may be realized

indirectly from other adjacent rooms which are provided

with a ventilation pipe for the expulsion of the fumes to

the outside of the building as foresaid, and which must

not be part of the building in common use or rooms

with risk of fire, or bedrooms (Fig. B).

c)

During prolonged use of the appliance you may

consider it necessary to open a window to the outside

to improve ventilation.

d)

The liquefied petroleum gases, which are heavier than

air, stagnate towards the ground. Therefore, the rooms

containing LPG cans must have openings towards the

outside in order to allow the venting from the ground of

eventual gas leak. Thus, the LPG cans must not be

installed or settled in rooms that are below the ground

level, (cellar, etc.) whether the cans are empty or

partially full. It is advisable to keep in the room only

the can which is being used, and it must be placed

away from direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces,

stoves, etc.) that could make the can reach

temperatures higher than 50°C.

Levelling your appliance 

(only on a few models)

Your cooker is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance.

If necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings

in the corners of the cooker base.

Mounting the legs 

(only on a few models)

Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your

cooker.

Installation of the cooker

The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which

are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in

direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be

made of non-flammable material.  During operation the

back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of

50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of

the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:

a)

The appliance can be placed in a kitchen, dining room

or bedsit, but not in a bathroom.

b)

All furniture around the appliance must be placed at

least 200 mm from the top of the cooker, should the

surface of the appliance be higher than the worktop of

this furniture. Curtains should not be placed behind

the cooker or less than 200 mm away from the sides

of the appliance.

c)

Any hoods must be installed according to the require-

ments in the installation manual for the hoods them-

selves.

d)

If the cooker is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the

latter must be situated at a minimum of 420 mm above

the hob. The minimum distance between the worktop

and kitchen units made of combustible material is 700

mm.

e)

The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the

cooker must be made of non-flammable materials.

Installation

Connecting the gas

The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a

gas cylinder in compliance with current directives. Before

making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated

for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the

instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to

different types of gas”. On some models the gas supply

can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary;

to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose

holder with that of the cap and replace replace the gasket

(supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from

a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with

current directive.

Important:

 check that the supply pressure complies with

the values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the

burners and nozzles” since this will ensure safe operation,

correct consumption and ensure a longer life to your

appliance.

Connection with hose

Make the connection using a gas hose complying with

the the characteristics provided in current directive. The

internal diameter of the pipe used is as follows:

- 8mm for liquid gas;

- 13mm for methane gas.

When installing the hose, remember to take the following

precautions:

•

No part of the hose should touch parts whose tempe-

rature exceeds 50°C;

•

The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;

•

The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,

and should not have bends or kinks.

•

The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,

any moving parts, and it should not be crushed;

•

The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in

order to check its condition;

Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends

and fix it with clamps complying to current directive.If any

of the above recommendations can not be adopted, flexible

metal pipes should be used.

Should the cooker be installed according to the conditions

of Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which

is in compliance with current safety standards should be

used to make the connection to the gas mains.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe

to a threaded attachment

Remove the hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas

supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male

attachment. Only pipes and gaskets complying with current

directives. The full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000

mm.

Tight control

Important:

 when installation has been completed, check

the pipe fitting for leaks with a soapy solution. Never use a

flame. Once the connection has been made, ensure that

the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts

and is not crushed.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load

indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable

directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker

with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the

appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker

should be sized according to the load and should comply

with current regulations (the earth wire should not be

interrupted by the circuit breaker).

The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not

reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to

the room temperature, along its length. Before making the

connection, check that:

•

the limiter valve and the home system can support the

appliance load (see data plate);

•

the mains is properly earthed in compliance with

current directives and regulations;

•

there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit

breaker, once the hob has been installed.

N.B:

 never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they

can cause heating or burning.

The plug and socket must

be easily accessible.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with

respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on

the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:

a)

replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with

that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

Important: 

the hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the

hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit the

sealing gasket.

b)

Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

•

remove the grids and slide the burners from their

housings;

•

unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner,

and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas

(see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

•

replace all the components by repeating the steps in

reverse order.

c)

Minimum regulation of the hob burners:

•

turn the tap to minimum;
