INSTALLATION
Translation of the original instructions
11
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.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection (see installation drawing) must be implemented using steel or copper pipes or steel
hoses, in compliance with applicable national standards. All appliances must be equipped with a gas shut-off
valve and fast-closing valve. Once installation is complete, make sure that there are no gas leaks from the
fittings; to do this, do not use a naked flame but substances that do not cause corrosion, such as solutions of
soapy water or leak detectors. All our appliances are subjected to detailed examination: the type of gas,
pressure in use and the pertinent category are indicated on the data plate (see attachment).
Note
The year of construction of the appliance is indicated under "N" on the data plate. The first 2 digits
indicate the year of construction.
·
THERMAL OUTPUT CONTROL
The appliances must be checked in order to verify that their thermal output is correct:
·
Thermal output is indicated on the appliance's data plate;
·
Firstly, make sure that appliance is set for the type of gas used and then make sure that the indication on
the data plate matches this gas. To adapt the appliance to another type of gas, make sure that the type of
gas in question complies with the information in this instruction manual.
Warning
Pressure is measured with a pressure gauge (minimum resolution of 0.1 mbar) mounted on
the appropriate socket. Remove the M6 locking screw and insert the pressure gauge tube.
The test must be performed with all the burners on the appliance switched on and all the
appliances in the same line switched on. After taking the measurement, replace the screw,
firmly tighten and check the seal.
Liquid gas connection G30 / G31
The liquid gas connection pressure is 30 mbar for butane and 37 mbar for propane. Check the data plate,
measure the pressure and verify that the description of the nozzle installed matches the information provided
by the manufacturer.
Methane gas connection H G20
The methane gas connection pressure is 20 mbar. Check the data plate, measure the pressure and verify
that the description of the nozzle installed matches the information provided by the manufacturer.

CHECKING THE PRIMARY AIR FOR MAIN BURNERS AND PILOT NOZZLE
For burners equipped with air adjustment, set the adjustable bushing and lock it with a screw. The "Burner
technical data" table shows approximate values for the "h" parameter (primary air). The primary air flow
volume must be adjusted to avoid a flame cut-off when the burner is cold and a flame blowback when the
burner is hot. The pilot air adjustment is set testing for the gas which the appliance will use. In the event of
conversion to other types of gas, adjust the air using the adjustment bush until the pilot flame is steady and
has an intense blue colour.
