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.

Positioning your appliance
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 Directly to the
with branches (for cookers) exterior
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 appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material. During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of
the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) The appliance can be placed in a kitchen, dining room
or bedsit, but not in a bathroom.
