Installation Instructions for Stoves Richmond 110/100cm Dual Fuel Cooker

Quick guide from the manual

This appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with current regulations. Before installation, ensure the local gas distribution conditions (gas type and pressure) are compatible with the appliance. If you smell gas, do not attempt to light the appliance, do not touch electrical switches, and contact your gas supplier immediately. The appliance must be earthed.

Before installation

Ensure all packaging and wrapping are removed. It is recommended to wash oven shelves, baking trays, and grill pans in hot soapy water before first use. To level the cooker, place a spirit level on a baking sheet on an oven shelf and adjust the levelling feet at the front and rear. If the levelling feet are visible, a decorative cover plinth can be attached using the provided screws.

Dimensions and clearances

No shelf or combustible material should be closer than 650mm above the hob. If the appliance has a side-opening door, a side clearance of 60mm is recommended to allow the door to fully open. A side clearance of 90mm is required above the hob level up to a height of 400mm. The cooker must be fitted flush to the base units. Stability devices (chains and wall hooks) must be installed to prevent tipping.

Connecting to the electricity supply terminal block

The appliance must be connected by a competent person. For all connections, leave the connecting bars on the neutral terminals. For single-phase connections, place brass connecting bars between L1, L2, and L3, and connect the live wire to the L2 terminal. For multi-phase connections, remove the brass connecting bars from the live terminals and connect the three phases to L1, L2, and L3 respectively. Ensure the appliance is fitted to a switch providing all-pole disconnection with a minimum contact separation of 3mm. Do not use power tools on terminal block screws.

Connect to the gas supply

The gas inlet is a 1/2 inch BSP parallel internal connection at the rear-top right-hand corner. Use a flexible connector between 900mm and 1125mm in length. Ensure the connector does not come into contact with the vertical oven flue tubes at the rear. After installation, verify all connections are gas sound.

Commissioning

All burners have fixed aeration. To light a hob burner, press and turn the knob to 'FULL ON', hold for 15 seconds. If it fails to light, release and wait one minute before retrying. Check the oven light and convection fan by turning the main oven control to the defrost setting. Always turn knobs to 'OFF' after use.
