Installation

The following instructions are directed at the qualified

installer so that the installation and maintenance

proceedures may be followed in the most professional and

expert manner possible. Important: Unplug the electrical

connection before performing any maintenance or

regulation upkeep work.

Positioning for gas hob

Important: this unit may be installed and used only in

permanently ventilated rooms according to the British

Stancards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par.

2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following

requirements must be observed:

a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which

vents smoke and gases from combustion to the outside.

This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator

that turns on automatically each time the hood is operated.

In a chimney stack or branched flue. Directly to the Outside

(exclusively for cooking appliances)

b) The room must also allow for the influx of the air needed

for proper combustion. The flow of air for combustion

purposes must not be less than 2 m

/h per kW of installed

capacity. The supply of said air can be effected by means

of direct influx from the outside through a duct with a

inner cross section of at least 100 cm² which must not be

able to be accidentally blocked. Those appliances which

are not fitted with a safety device to prevent the flame

from accidentally going out must have a ventilation

opening twice the size otherwise required, i.e. a minimum

of 200cm

(Fig. A). Otherwise, the room can be vented

indirectly through adjacent rooms fitted with ventilation

ducts to the outside as described above, as long as the

adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms or present

the risk of fire (Fig. B).

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may neces-

sitate supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or

increasing the power of the air intake system (if present).

d) Liquidified petroleum gases are heavier than air and, as a

result, settle downwards. Rooms in which LPG tanks are

installed must be fitted with ventilation openings to the

outside in order to allow the gas to escape in the event of

a leak. Therefore, LPG tanks, whether empty or partially

full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces

below ground level (cellars, ect.). It is also a good idea to

keep only the tank currently being used in the room, making

sure that it is not near sources of heat (ovens, fireplaces,

stoves, etc.) that could raise the internal temperature of

the tank above 50°C.

Installation of built-in stove tops

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 hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or

bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.

b) The furniture standing next to the unit, that is higher

than the working boards, must be placed at least 600

mm from the edge of the board.

c) The cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at

a height of at least 420 mm (Fig. C).

- Check the condition of the appliance after it has been

unpacked;

- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply in the

event of malfunction and always before cleaning or

maintenance;

- When not in use, disconnect the appliance from the

power supply and turn off the gas valve (if present);

- Always check to make sure that the control knobs are

on the “•”/”o” setting when the appliance is not in use;

- Cut the power supply cord after disconnecting it from

the electrical mains when you decide to no longer use

the appliance.

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages

arising out of : incorrect installation or improper,

incorrect or unreasonable use..
