When installing the hob above a built-in oven without forced
ventilation, ensure that there are air inlets and outlets for ventilating
the interior of the cabinet adequately.
Gas Connection for the Hob
The hob should be connected to the gas supply by an authorized
installer. During installation of this product it is essential to fit an
approved gas tap to isolate the supply from the appliance for the
convenience of any subsequent removal or servicing. Connection
of the appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas tanks must be
carried out according to the safety standards currently in force, and
only after it is ascertained that it is suitable for the type of gas to be
used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the section entitled,
“Adapting the Hob for Different Types of Gas”. If the hob is to be
connected to tanks containing liquid gas, use pressure regulators
that comply with current safety standards.
Important: To insure that the appliance operates safety, the gas
is regulated correctly and your appliance lasts over time, make
sure that gas pressure levels comply with the indications given in
Table 1, “Nozzle and Burner Specifications”.
Gas Connection to Non-flexible Pipe
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way as to
not create any stress points at any part of the appliance.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector
and a gasket for the attachment to the gas supply. Should this
connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced
(supplied with the appliance).
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/2"
connector for round gas pipe.
Gas Connection to Flexible Steel Pipe
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male 1/2"
connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes, tubes and gaskets
that comply with current safety codes. The maximum length of the
flexible pipes must not exceed 2000 mm. Once the connection
has been made, ensure that the flexible metal tube does not touch
any moving parts and is not crushed.
Check the Seal
Once the hob has been installed, make sure all the connections
are properly sealed, using a soapy water solution. Never use a
flame.
Before fastening the hob in place, position the seal
(supplied) along the perimeter of the worktop, as shown
in the figure.
Clamps are provided to fasten the hob to counters
measuring from 20 to 40 mm in thickness. To fasten the
hob securely, it is recommended that all the clamps be
used.

N.B: Use the clamps contained in the "accessory kit."
f) In the event the hob is not installed above a built-in oven, a
wood panel must be inserted as insulation. This panel must be
placed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob itself.
Important: When installing the hob above a built-in oven, the oven
should be placed on two wooden strips; in the case of a joining
cabinet surface, remember to leave a space of at least 45 x 560
mm at the back.
