INSTALLATION

Translation of the original instructions

Warning

 

Installation  operations,  any  conversion  to  other  types  of  gas  and  start-up  must  only  be
performed by qualified personnel, in accordance with current regulations.

 

Gas systems, electrical connections and premises where the appliances are installed must comply with
current regulations in the country of installation; in particular, the appliance must be installed in a room with
good ventilation, if possible under a suction hood to ensure complete evacuation of the exhaust gases
formed during combustion. The air required for combustion is 2 m3/h per kW of installed power. The
appliance can be installed alone or in series with other appliances in our production range. A minimum
distance of 10 cm between appliances must be respected to prevent contact with any walls made of
flammable material; furthermore, appropriate measures should also be adopted to ensure the thermal
insulation of flammable parts, such as the installation of heat shields; take special care to ensure that
appliances are installed in an appropriate and safe manner. The support feet can be adjustable in height and
any unevenness can therefore be eliminated.
 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Caution

 

In accordance with international provisions, when connecting the appliance an automatic
device must be installed up-line of it so that the device can be fully disconnected from the
mains; this device must have a contact aperture of at least 3 mm.

The connection terminal is located behind the rear wall. Proceed as follows to install the power supply cable:
 

·

Remove the rear panel.

·

Pass the new connection cable through the cable gland, connect the leads to the corresponding terminal

on the terminal block and fasten them securely.

·

Lock the cable with the cable gland and refit the panel. The earth/ground lead must be longer than the

others so that if the cable gland breaks it is disconnected after the power cables.

 

Note

 

Make sure that the mains voltage complies with the data on the appliance's ID plate and that there is
good conductivity to earth/ground. Pay attention when inserting leads to ensure they do not obstruct
the normal course of work and routine appliance cleaning operations. Also make sure that the power
cable is never pulled taut and is not placed in contact with sources of heat.

Note

 

The connection cable must have the following characteristics: it must be silicone type (to
withstand temperatures of 180 °C), and must have an appropriate cross-section for the power
of the appliance (see technical data table).

 

EQUIPOTENTIAL

 
The appliance must be connected to an equipotential system. The connecting screw is located on the rear of
the appliance and is marked by the yellow symbol above it.
 

Warning

 

The manufacturer is not liable for and does not indemnify damages caused by incorrect
inadequate installations that do not comply with these instructions.
