2 TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
2.1 Packing, handling, shipment and transport
The stove can be lifted using a lift truck, inserting the forks (of suitable length) in the special spaces in the wooden
packing. Make sure the equipment used for lifting and transport can take the weight of the stove, specified on the
dataplate and in this manual.
Avoid taking the load in areas where it could be a danger if dropped.
Set the stove down on the floor carefully without bumping, and position it in the required place; make sure the floor
can take the weight of the stove, otherwise consult a specialised technician.
2.2 Instructions for safe installation
Correct operation of a heating stove depends above all on its installation, which must be carried out by a competent
person, in compliance with the current safety regulations.
•
An incorrectly installed stove can be the cause of serious accidents (flue, insulation materials, etc.
catching fire).
The sides and back must be at least 20 cm from flammable materials. If the floor is made of flammable material
(wood, carpets, etc.) provide for a protection base in sheet metal (recommended min. thickness 2-3 mm).
2.3 Connection to the flue
The stove must be connected to the flue by means of the collar on the hotplate, using flue pipes that are readily
available on the market. Connection to the chimney must be made using strong and stable pipes. The flue pipe must
possibly be straight, to avoid pressure losses, and towards the flue.
To ensure regular operation, the flue draught with stove operating must be between 10 and 14 Pa.
For optimum stove efficiency, a draught control or 4064damper must be fitted in the flue pipe or chimney. Every unit
must eliminate the fumes through its own flue; never use the same flue for several units.
2.4 Room ventilation
The air necessary for combustion must be ensured in rooms where stoves with natural flue draught are installed. The
air change must occur through several fixed openings to the outside, whose cross section must comply with the
current local regulations. Such openings must be protected with grilles and must never be obstructed. If the air is
insufficient, even the operation of an extractor hood in the room or exhaust fans can negatively affect stove operation.
2.5 Electrical connection
Installation must be carried out in full compliance with the current regulations regarding electrical installation.
Otherwise the Manufacturer declines any liability.
Before connecting the hob and the electric oven to the mains, make sure:
►
a differential safety switch is installed;
►
the differential safety switch and the house electrical system are adequate for the load of the appliances;
►
the power supply system has an efficient earth connection;
►
the sockets are easily accessible after installation.
The hob is supplied without a plug, therefore fit a standardised plug suitable for the load.
The power cable must be positioned in such a way that no part can reach a temperature 50° higher than the room
temperature.
Make sure the earth connection is correct (green/yellow wire). Earthing is compulsory. The ILVE manual contains the
wiring diagram for the ILVE hob.
2.6 Gas connection
The hob must be connected to the gas supply by a flexible metal pipe in conformity with the current regulations.
Otherwise the Manufacturer declines any liability.
The connection between the ISO R7 gas union and the pipe must be made as follows:
►
with thread sealant and a suitable putty;
►
inserting a metal gasket (aluminium, copper, specific rubber).
•
The hob must not be connected to the gas by means of a rubber hose fixed to the hose connector, as it is
not inspectionable.
•
After connecting the gas supply, check for leaks. Use soapy water or a similar liquid.
•
Do not use a flame to look for gas leaks.
