Installation
!
Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet
carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care
of the appliance.
!
Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on
to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning
!
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking
or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
!
The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the
instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and
animals or may damage property.
!
This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms
in accordance with current national regulations. The following requirements
must be observed:
• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels
any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that
automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
Directly to
the Outside
• The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for
combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2 m
3
/h
per kW of installed power.
The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an
inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
; the
opening must not be vulnerable to any type
of blockages.
The system can also provide the air needed for
combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms
fitted with air circulation tubes as described
above. However, these rooms must not be
communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that
may present a fire hazard.
• Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessitate
supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or increasing the power
of the air intake system (if present).
• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore,
rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow
gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether
partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or
storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to
keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not
subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Fitting the appliance
The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:
• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the
hob must be at least 200 mm from the edge of the hob.
• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction
manuals and at a minimum distance of 650 mm from the hob (see figure).
• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 420
mm from the hob (see figure).
If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet,
the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700
mm above the hob.
• The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure.
NOTE:
In case of installation of a hood above the hob, please refer to the
hood instructions for the correct distance.
• After having cleaned the perimeter surface, apply the supplied gasket to
the hob as shown in the figure.
Position the hob in the worktop opening made respecting the dimensions
indicated in the Instruction.
NOTE: the power supply cable must be long enough to permit its upward
extraction.
To secure the hob, use the brackets
(A)
provided with it. Fit the brackets into the
relevant bores shown by the arrow and fasten them by means of their screws
in accordance with the thickness of the worktop (see the following figures).
Top 20 mm
Top 30-50 mm
• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel must
be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of
20 mm from the lower part of the hob.
