Bosch PPQ7A6I45/01 Gas Cooktop Installation Manual
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the safe installation and operation of the Bosch PPQ7A6I45/01 gas cooktop.
Safe Installation
Follow these safety instructions carefully when installing the appliance. The images provided are for guidance only. Safe operation is guaranteed only with correct installation according to the safety instructions. The installer is responsible for ensuring perfect functionality at the installation site. After making connections, perform a leak test.
WARNING – Risk of Explosion!
Escaping gas can cause an explosion. All installation, connection, regulating, and conversion work to a different gas type must be carried out by an authorized professional, adhering to applicable regulations, legal requirements, and local utility provider rules. Pay special attention to ventilation provisions and guidelines. For conversion work, contact customer service.
WARNING – Danger: Magnetism!
Caution: Magnetic field. Attention for persons with pacemakers: Permanent magnets are integrated into control element bases and controls. Magnets may affect electronic implants, such as pacemakers or insulin pumps. Persons with electronic implants must maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm from magnetic control element bases and controls. Never carry control element bases or controls on your body.
Ensure adequate kitchen ventilation, especially when operating the gas cooktop. Do not connect the appliance to an exhaust system for combustion products. Never install the appliance in boats or vehicles. Warranty applies only to intended use. Before installation, verify that local supplier conditions are compatible with appliance settings on the rating plate (gas type and pressure, power, voltage). Secure the power cord to the cabinet to prevent contact with hot parts of the oven or cooktop. Before any work, switch off power and gas supply. Connect appliances with power supply to earth. Do not make internal modifications; contact technical customer service if needed.
Before Installation
This appliance is Class 3 according to EN 30-1-1 for gas appliances: built-in appliance. The furniture unit must be properly secured and stable. Nearby furniture, laminated panels, and adhesives must be made of non-flammable, heat-resistant materials. Do not install above refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, or similar. The appliance must only be installed on an oven with forced ventilation; check oven dimensions in its installation manual. If installing an oven underneath, work surface thickness may differ from these instructions; refer to the oven installation manual. If installing an exhaust fan or extractor hood, follow their installation instructions and always observe minimum vertical distance to the hob.
Preparing the Units
Cut out the required dimensions in the worktop. Any panel closer to the built-in niche than the specified clearance must be non-combustible. Maintain at least 5 mm distance between the panel and the appliance. Maximum panel dimensions: 30 mm thickness x 70 mm height. Seal cut surfaces of wooden worktops with special glue to protect from moisture. If no built-in oven is present underneath, insert a non-flammable separator (e.g., metal or plywood) 10 mm below the hob to prevent access to the underside. Minimum distance from the separator to the electrical connection must be 10 mm.
Positioning the Appliance
Note: Do not use silicone to bond the appliance to the worktop.
- Place the cooktop upside down on a smooth, stable surface.
- Apply the supplied adhesive seal to the lower edge of the hob; this prevents liquid penetration.
- Screw in the supplied brackets in the specified position so they can turn freely.
- Turn the hob over and insert it into the recess, aligning it towards the front of the recess.
- Turn and tighten the brackets. Bracket position depends on worktop thickness.
Removing the Appliance
- Disconnect the appliance from electricity and gas.
- Unscrew the brackets and proceed in reverse order.
Connecting the Gas
Observe country-specific guidelines.
CAUTION – Risk of Explosion!
A gas leak can cause an explosion. Always check connections for leaks after working on them.
Arrange the gas connection so the shut-off valve is accessible. Ensure rating plate information on gas type and pressure matches local connection conditions. Connect to a rigid gas pipe or flexible metal pipe. The flexible metal pipe must not contact moving furniture parts (e.g., drawers) or pass through obstructed areas. The gas connection elbow on the appliance is R 1/2. Do not move or twist the elbow.
Connection to Gas Cylinder or Liquid Gas Tank
If the flame is large or unstable, check the gas cylinder or liquid gas tank regulator. Note: An overpressure safety device can be installed to limit or shut off gas supply if the regulator fails.
Spare Parts for Gas Connection
If country regulations permit, gas connection parts are available from technical customer service.
Gas Connection R 1/2
Refer to Figure 11.
Gas Connection G 1/2
- Replace the appliance's gas connection elbow with the G 1/2 elbow supplied in the accessory bag.
- Insert the seal between the appliance's gas connection and the gas supply.
Electrical Connection
This appliance is Type Y: the connection cable must only be replaced by technical service, not the user. Respect cable type and minimum cross-section. Hobs are supplied with a power cord (with or without plug). The power cable must only be replaced with an original cable from after-sales service. Do not use extension cords or multiple socket strips. Appliances with plugs must connect to correctly installed grounded sockets. Connect the appliance to a fixed installation and set up appropriate isolating switches according to installation regulations.
Converting the Gas Type
If country regulations allow, this appliance can be adapted to other gas types listed on the rating plate. Corresponding parts are in the accessory bag or available from customer service. Table in Figure 19 shows the correct combination for each burner and gas type.
Burner Types:
- C: Economy burner
- D: Standard-output burner
- E: High-output burner
- F: Mini-wok multi-crown burner
- G: Wok multi-crown burner
Adjusting the Taps
- Set control elements to minimum power level and pull them out. Remove the plinth for control elements.
- To access the bypass screw, push down on the flexible rubber holder with a screwdriver tip. Never remove the sealing ring; it prevents liquids and dirt from entering and impairing function.
- For bypass screw (M) adjustment, refer to Table in Figure 19. A: Tighten bypass screws firmly. B: Bypass screws must be flush with the fitting.
Replacing the Nozzles
- Remove pan supports, burner caps, and distributors.
- Replace nozzles with the appropriate wrench and tighten carefully to ensure a seal. Pay attention that the nozzle does not detach during removal or fastening.
Reinstalling the Appliance
Reassemble components in reverse order.
Checking if Equipment is Working
- Check that turning the knob between maximum and minimum power does not cause the burner to extinguish or backfire.
- If burner gas flow is incorrect, check the nozzle and bypass screw position in Table in Figure 19.
Documenting the Gas Type Conversion
Attach the sticker indicating the new gas type near the rating plate.
