INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
SPECIFICATIONS
The installer should note that the appliance that
side walls should be no higher than the cooktop
itself. Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces
surrounding and adjacent to the appliance must
be able to withstand an temperature of 90 °C.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate
to the cabinet must be able to withstand a
temperature of not less than 150 °C otherwise
the laminate could come unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance
with the provisions in force.
This appliance is not connected to a device able
to dispose of the combustion fumes. It must
therefore be connected in compliance with the
above mentioned installation standards.
Particular care should be paid to the following
provisions governing ventilation and aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
It is essential to ensure that the room in which the
appliance is installed is permanently ventilated in
order to allow the appliance itself to operate
correctly. the necessary amount of air is that
required for regular gas combustion and ventilation
of the relative room, the volume of which must not
be less than 20 m
3
. Air must naturally flow through
permanent openings in the walls of the room in
question. These openings must vent the fumes
outdoors and their section must be at least 100 cm
2
(see fig. 3). Construction of the openings must
ensure that the openings themselves may never be
blocked. Indirect ventilation by air drawn from an
adjacent room is also permitted, in strict compliance
with the provisions in force.
CAUTION: if the burners of the cooking top are
without safety thermocouple, the ventilation
outlet must have a minimum 200 cm² section.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of
their combustion fumes through hoods. These must
be connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside.
If it is not possible to install a hood, an electric fan
can be installed on a window or on a wall facing
outside (see fig. 4). This must be activated at the
same time as the appliance (see fig. 5), so long as
the specifications in the provisions in force are
strictly complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the
values on the data label affixed to the underside
of the cooktop correspond to those of the gas
and electricity mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure.
Gas connection must comply with the pertinent
standards and provisions in force.
When gas is supplied through ducts,
the
appliance must be connected to the gas supply
system:
● with a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of threaded fittings conforming to the
standards.
● With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
● With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle,
the
appliance must be fuelled by a pressure governor
conforming to the provisions in force and must be
connected:
● with a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
● With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards. It is
advisable to apply the special adapter to the
flexible pipe. This is easily available from the
shops and facilitates connection with the hose
nipple of the pressure governor on the bottle.
● With rubber hose pipe in compliance with
standards. The diameter of this hose pipe must be
8 mm and its length must be no less than 400 mm
and no more than 1500 mm. It must be firmly fixed
to the hose nipple by means of the safety clamp
specified by standards.
At the connection end, verify the gasproof using a
soap solution, never a flame.
WARNINGS:
- remember that the gas inlet union on the
appliance is a 1/2" gas conic male type in
compliance with EN 10226 standards.
- The appliance complies with the provisions of
the following EEC Directives:
CEE2009/142 regarding gas safety.
