Siemens EC645PC90N Assembly Instructions Manual
en
Read the appliance's instructions before
installing and using.
The graphics in these Assembly
instructions are given as a guide only.
The manufacturer is exempt from all
liability if this manual's requirements
are not complied with.

Safety instructions

All installation, regulation and
adaptation to other types of gas must
be carried out by an authorised
installation technician, respecting all
applicable regulations, standards
and the country's electrical and gas
supply companies' specifications.
It is recommended that you call our
Technical Assistance Service for
adaptation to other types of gas.
Before you begin, turn off the
appliance's electricity and gas
supply.
This appliance has been designed for
home use only, not for commercial or
professional use. This appliance cannot
be installed on yachts or in caravans.
The warranty will only be valid if the
appliance is used for the purpose for
which it was designed.
Before installing, you need to check that
local distribution conditions (gas type
and pressure) and the appliance's
adjustment are compatible (see table I).
The appliance's adjustment conditions
are written on the label or the
specifications plate.
This appliance can only be installed in a
well-ventilated place in accordance with
existing regulations and ventilation
specifications. The appliance must not
be connected to a combustion product
evacuation device.
The supply cable must be attached to
the unit to prevent it from touching hot
parts of the oven or hob.
Appliances with electrical supply must
be earthed.
Do not tamper with the appliance's
interior. If necessary, call our Technical
Assistance Service.

Before installing

This appliance is class 3 type, according
to the EN 30-1-1 regulation for gas
appliances: built-in appliance.
The units next to the appliance must be
made of non-flammable materials. The
laminated covering and glue for
adhering it must be heat resistant.
This appliance cannot be installed
above fridges, washing machines,
dishwashers or similar.
An oven must have forced ventilation to
install a hob above it.
Check the oven's dimensions in its
installation manual.
If an extractor fan is installed, you must
follow the installation manual's
instructions, always keeping a minimum
vertical distance of 650 mm to the hob.
Preparation of kitchen unit
(fig. 1-2)
Make an appropriate size cut in the work
surface.
If the hob is electric or mixed (gas and
electricity) and there is no oven below,
place a non-flammable separator (e.g.
metal or plywood) 10 mm from the
bottom of the hob. This will prevent
access to the base of the hob.
If the hob is gas, it is recommendable to
place the separator at the same
distance.
On wood work surfaces, varnish the
cutting surfaces with a special glue. This
protects them from moisture.
Installation of appliance
Depending on the model, the adhesive
seal may be factory-fitted. If this is the
case, it should not be removed under
any circumstances, since the adhesive
seal prevents leaks. If the seal has not
been factory-fitted, apply it to the
underside of the hob. Fig. 3.
In order to fit the appliance into the
kitchen unit, tighten each of the clips as
indicated allowing them all turn freely.
Insert and centre the hob.
Press the sides of the hob until it is
supported around its entire perimeter.
Turn the clips and tighten them fully.
The clips position depends on the
thickness of the work surface. Fig. 4
Removal of hob
Turn off the appliance's electricity and
gas supply.
Unscrew the clips and proceed in the
reverse order to installation.
Gas connection (fig. 5)
The end of the inlet connection point of
the gas hob has a 1/2" (20.955 mm)
thread that allows for:
- fixed connection.
- connection using a flexible metal pipe
(L min. 1 m - max. 3 m).
It is necessary to insert the watertight
seal (034308) supplied between the
manifold outlet and the gas supply.
You must prevent the pipe from coming
into contact with moving parts of the
kitchen unit being inserted (for example,
a drawer) and prevent access to any
spaces which might become obstructed.
If you need to connect the gas supply
horizontally, our Technical Assistance
Service can supply you with an L-tube
(code 173018) and a seal (code
034308).
France: substitute the factory-fitted
L-tube for the accessory bag. Fig. 5a.
Please remember to insert the seal.
Warning! If any connection is handled,
check the seal.
Danger of leaks!
The manufacturer is not liable for any
connection leaking, after being handled.
Electric connection (fig. 6)
Check that the voltage and power of the
appliance are compatible with the
electrical installation.
The hobs are supplied with a power
cable with or without a wall socket plug.
Provide an omnipolar cut-off switch with
a minimum contact separation of 3 mm
(except for plug connections, if the user
has access to it).
Appliances with plugs must only be
connected to sockets that have earth
wires correctly installed.
This appliance is type "Y": the supply
cable can only be changed by the
Technical Assistance Service and not
the user. The cable type and minimum
cross-section must be respected.
Changing the gas type
If the country's regulations allow, this
appliance can be adapted to other types
of gas (see specifications plate). The
components required for this are in the
transformation kit supplied (depending
on the model) available from our
Technical Assistance Service. The
following steps should be taken:
A) Change the nozzles (fig. 7-7a):
- Remove the pan supports, burner
covers and diffusers.
- Change the nozzles using the spanner
provided by our Technical Assistance
Service with code 340847 (for double
and triple flame burners code 340808),
see table II, taking special care to
ensure that the nozzle does not fall
when it is removed from the burner or
when fitted.
Ensure that it is completely tightened in
order to guarantee the seal. Primary air
adjustment is not necessary with these
burners.
B) Adjust the taps
Set the control knobs to minimum.
Remove the control knobs from the taps.
Fig. 8. It has an outer seal. Simply press
on this seal with the tip of a screwdriver
to allow access to the tap adjusting
screw. Fig. 8a.
Never remove the seal.
Adjust the minimum ring setting by
turning the by-pass screw using a flat
head screwdriver.
Depending on the gas to which your
appliance is going to be adapted (see
table III), carry out the corresponding
action:
A: firmly tighten the by-pass screws.
B: loosen the by-pass screws until the
gas flow from the burners is correct:
when adjusting the control knob
between maximum and minimum, the
burner does not go out, nor is there a
flame backdraught created.
C: the by-pass screws need to be
changed by an authorised engineer.
D: do not touch the by-pass screws.
If the by-pass screw cannot be
accessed, disassemble the grease
splash tray, which is fixed to the rest of
the hob using a clip and screw mounting
system. The following steps must be
taken to remove the grease splash tray:
- Remove all the burner covers, pan
supports and control knobs.
- Loosen the screws on the burners.
Use the disassembly lever 483196
availablle from our Technical Assistance
Service. To release the front clips, apply
the lever to the area shown in figure 9.
To assemble the grease splash tray
again, proceed in the reverse order to
removal.
It is important that all the seals are
refitted to form a seal.
These devices are essential for the
correct operation of the appliance as
they prevent liquids and dirt from
entering the appliance.
Refit the control knobs.
