IMPORTANT INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
The installer should note that the appliance that side walls should be no higher than the cooktop itself.
Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces surrounding and adjacent to the appliance must be able to withstand
an temperature of 90°C.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate to the cabinet must be able to withstand a temperature of not
less than 150°C otherwise the laminate could come unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance with the provisions in force.
This appliance is not connected to a device able to dispose of the combustion fumes. It must therefore be
connected in compliance with the above mentioned installation standards. Particular care should be paid to the
following provisions governing ventilation and aeration.
ROOM VENTILATION
It is essential to ensure that the room in which the appliance is installed is permanently ventilated in order to
allow the appliance itself to operate correctly. The necessary amount of air is the amount required for regular
gas combustion and room ventilation, the volume of which must not be less than 20 m
3
. Air must naturally
flow through permanent openings in the walls of the room in question. These openings must vent the fumes
outdoors and their section must be at least 100 cm
2
(see fig. 3). Construction of the openings must ensure that
the openings themselves may never be blocked. Indirect ventilation by air drawn from an adjacent room is also
permitted, in strict compliance with the provisions in force.
LOCATION AND AIR FLOW
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of their combustion fumes through hoods. These must be
connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside. If it is not possible to install a hood, an electric fan can be
installed on a window or on a wall facing outside (see fig. 4). This must be activated at the same time as the
appliance (see fig. 5), so long as the specifications in the provisions in force are strictly complied with.
GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the values on the data label affixed to the underside of the cooktop
correspond to those of the gas and electricity mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating conditions: type of gas and working pressure. Gas connection
must comply with the pertinent standards and provisions in force.
When gas is supplied through ducts,the appliance must be connected to the gas supply system:
• With a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist of threaded fittings conforming to the
standards.
• With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist of unions with mechanical seals.
• With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the
seals must comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle, the appliance must be fuelled by a pressure governor conforming to the
provisions in force and must be connected:
• With a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist of unions with mechanical seals.
• With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the
seals must comply with the standards.
