CHECKING FOR ADEQUATE VENTILATION
Make sure that the air intake into the room where the appliance is installed is sufficient for an adequate change of air, as
specified by regulations in effect.
The appliances installed in buildings open to the public must satisfy the following requirements.
Installation rules
The installation and maintenance of the appliance must be done according to the correct procedures and regulation texts
in use, particularly:
• safety standards for the prevention of fire and panic.
Connection and installation of appliance, ventilation and exhaust removal systems, shall be done according to the
Manufacturer’s instructions and by qualified technicians and according to the regulations in effect. The electric wiring shall
conform to the regulations in effect.
All fire prevention codes shall be observed.
a) General indications
(Rules valid for GB only)
- For all appliances:
Gas safety Regulations, 1984; Health and safety at Work Act, 1974 Codes of Practice, BS 8173, 1982, The Building
Regulations 1985; The Building Standards Regulations, 1981, the IEE Regulations and the by-laws of the local Water
Undertaking.
The local gas Region or LPG supplier and the local authority and the relevant recommendation of the British Standards
(latest editions) concerned.
The installation, transformation and repair of appliances for professional kitchens as well as removal due to malfunction,
and the supply of gas, may be made only by means of a maintenance contract stipulated with an authorized sales office
and in observance of technical regulations.
The appliance can be installed by itself or in a series side by side with appliances produced by us.
There must be a minimum distance of at least 10 cm between the appliance and the sides of the nearby cabinets made
of inflammable material.
Take suitable measures to guarantee thermal insulation of the inflammable sides, such as, for example, the installation of
protection against radiation.
The appliances must be installed in a suitable manner, observing the safety standards.
PIPE FOR GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection must be effected with steel or copper pipes, or otherwise with flexible steel pipes in compliance
with the national norms, if any exist. Each appliance must be provided with a cutoff cock for rapid interruption of
the gas supply. Once the appliance has been installed, it is necessary to check for gas leaks for the pipe fittings;
do not use a flame for this purpose but a non-corrosive substance such as soapy water or phoamy substances as
contained in leakfinder sprays. All our appliances undergo careful testing: the type of gas, the operating pressure
and the category are indicated on the data plate.
