Installation
!
Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating
instructions carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe
installation and operation of the appliance.
!
Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Make sure that
the instructions are kept with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
!
The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance
with the instructions provided.
!
Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be performed after the
cooker has been disconnected from the electricity supply.
The cookers have the following technical specifications:
Category: II 2H3+
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-ventilated rooms,
according to current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is
installed must be ventilated adequately in order to provide as much air as
is needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of air must not
be lower than 2 m
3
/h per kW of installed power).The air inlets, protected by
grilles, should have a duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
and
should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial obstruction
(see figure A).These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum
of 200 cm
2
- whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with a flame
failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner
from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that these are not communal
parts of a building, areas with increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets
should be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open a window or
increase the speed of any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
The efficient disposal of combustion fumes should be guaranteed using a
hood which is connected to a safe and efficient natural suction chimney, or
using an electric fan which begins to operate automatically every time the
appliance is switched on (see figure).
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
Directly to
the Outside
!
The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the floor,
therefore all rooms containing LPG cylinders must have openings leading
outside so that any leaked gas can escape easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full, must not be
installed or stored in rooms or storage areas which are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be stored in the room;
this should also be kept well away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys,
stoves) which may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
!
The appliance may be installed alongside any cupboards whose height does
not exceed that of the hob surface.
!
Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance is made
from a non-flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the studio flat (not in the
bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be
installed at least 500 mm away from them.

• If the cooker is installed
underneath a wall cabinet, there
must be a minimum distance of 420
mm between this cabinet and the top
of the hob.
This distance should be increased
to 700 mm if the wall cabinets are
flammable (see figure).
• Do not position blinds behind
the cooker or less than 200 mm away
from its sides.
• Any hoods must be installed in accordance with the instructions listed in
the relevant operating manual.
Levelling
If it is necessary to level the appliance,
screw the adjustable feet into the
places provided on each corner of
the base of the cooker (see figure).
Gas connection
Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder may be carried out using
a flexible rubber or steel hose, in accordance with current national legislation
and after making sure that the appliance is suited to the type of gas with which
it will be supplied (see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case
see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator
which complies with current national regulations.
!
Make sure that the gas supply pressure is consistent with the values indicated
in the Table of burner and nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure
the safe operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.
Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose
Make sure that the hose complies with current national legislation. The internal
diameter of the hose must measure: 8 mm for a liquid gas supply;13 mm for
a methane gas supply.
