Step 5: Installing a STOVES gas
hob above the appliance
1. Remove the heatshield from the
underside of the hob base.
Note: The heatshield is not
required in this type of installation.
2. Fit the inlet connector adaptor
kit to the hob:
a. Remove the polythene bag,
containing the kit and fixing
screws from the oven pack.
b. Take out the pressure test nipple
and elbow adaptor.
c. If the existing pressure test nipple
on the hob is longer than the one
supplied in the adaptor kit it must
be replaced by the shorter one.
d. Remove existing inlet connector
from the hob, and replace with the
new elbow adaptor.
Care must be taken to ensure the hob
inlet pipe is as close to the back wall
as possible, so it doesn’t obstruct the
appliance or the appliance inlet pipe.
If a flexible inlet pipe is used, it must
hang vertically and not be trapped
between the oven and rear wall.
If another make of hob is installed
above the appliance, and the inlet
connector adaptor kit doesn’t fit the
hob, the correct size elbow and
connector can be bought from a local
hardware store.
