All instruction on the following pages must be carried out
by a competent person (corgi registered) in compliance
with gas safety (installation and use) regulation 1984.
Important: disconnect the cooker from the electrycity
and gas supply when any adjustment, etc.
Positioning your appliance
Your cooker is designed with a degree of protection against
overheating in class X; the appliance can therefore be
installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. The wall touching the back panel of
the cooker should be non-inflammable. Remember that
during use, the back panel of the cooker may reach a tem-
perature up to 50°C above that of the room temperature.
Important: this appliance may be installed and used only
in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current
directives. The following precautions should be taken:
a) The room must be provided with an external exhaust
system obtained with a hood or with an electric
ventilator that goes on automatically each time the unit
is switched on.
In the case of chimneys or flues

b) The room must be provided with a system for air inflow
which is necessary for a regular combustion. The air
flow necessary for the combustion should be at least 2
m
3
/h for kW of installed power. The system may be
realized by drawing the air directly from outside the
building through a pipe that has at least a 100 cm
2
useable section and which must not be accidently
obstructed (Fig. A). And further it may be realized
indirectly from other adjacent rooms which are provided
with a ventilation pipe for the expulsion of the fumes to
the outside of the building as foresaid, and which must
not be part of the building in common use or rooms
with risk of fire, or bedrooms (Fig. B).

c) During prolonged use of the appliance you may
consider it necessary to open a window to the outside
to improve ventilation.
d) The liquefied petroleum gases, which are heavier than
air, stagnate towards the ground. Therefore, the rooms
containing LPG cans must have openings towards the
outside in order to allow the venting from the ground of
eventual gas leak. Thus, the LPG cans must not be
installed or settled in rooms that are below the ground
level, (cellar, etc.) whether the cans are empty or
partially full. It is advisable to keep in the room only the
can which is being used, and it must be placed away
from direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc.) that could make the can reach temperatures
higher than 50°C.
Levelling your appliance (only on a few models)
Your cooker is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance.
If necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings
in the corners of the cooker base.
Mounting the legs (only on a few models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your
cooker.
Installation of the cooker
The cooker is prepared with protection degree against
excessive heating of type X, the appliance can therefore
be installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed touching
walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 50°C above
room temperature. For a correct installation of the cooker
the following precautions must be followed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/
diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower
room.
b) Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are
higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 200
mm from the edge of the hob itself.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the
requirements in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the
base units, providing that the lower edge of the wall
