Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet 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 according to the instructions provided.
!
Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected from
the electricity supply.
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 so as 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 disposal of combustion fumes should be guaranteed
using a hood connected to a safe and efficient natural
suction chimney, or using an electric fan that begins
to operate automatically every time the appliance is
switched on (see figure).
!
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 that 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) that may cause
the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
!
It is possible to install the appliance alongside
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, dining room or the bed-sit (not
in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the
appliance must be installed at least 200 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.
