Discharge of
fl
ue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their
fl
ue gases through hoods connected directly to
fl
ues or
the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the hood (
fig.
B), an electric fan must be installed on the
outside wall or the window of the room, provided it is possible for the ven
til
a
tion
opening to be
increased in propor
tion
to the delivery rate of the fan (
fig. C
). For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this
electric fan must guarantee an hourly air exchange of 3-5
tim
es its volume. In both instances, the use
of
fl
ues already used by other appliances to discharge the
fl
ue gases is forbidden.
Please note that the minimum height between the hob and the ven
til
a
ti
on system is 750mm.
Connecti
on to the gas supply
The gas connec
tion m
ust be made in accordance with the local standards.
When installing,
fi
t a safety tap at the end of the pipeline. The appliance
leaves the factory tested and set for the type of gas indicated on the plate
inside the bo
tt
om guard, close to the gas connec
ti
on pipe. Make sure that the
type of gas to be supplied to the appliance is the same as that shown on the
plate. Otherwise, follow the instruc
ti
ons provided in the “Adap
ti
ng to di
ff
erent
types of gas”
secti
on.
For maximum e
ffi
ciency and minimum consump
ti
on, make sure that the gas
supply pressure complies with the values shown on the appliance. A suitable
pressure regulator must be installed on the supply pipeline. The union must
be
fitt
ed on the end of the gas train
. Co
mplete with GJ½” threaded nut,
fit
the
gasket between the components as shown in the illustra
ti
on. The gaskets
must comply with the local standards. Screw the parts together without
forcing it,
fi
t the union so that it points in the direc
tion
required, then
ti
ghten
all parts.
Connecti
on
Make sure the connec
ti
on to the gas system is using a rigid metal pipe and regula
ti
on unions, or with
a stainless steel hose complying with the local standard. If metal hoses are used, take care that they
do not come into contact with mobile parts and are not crushed. This must also be checked if the
hob is to be combined with an oven.
The gas intake connec
ti
on of the appliance has a “male thread”.
When making the connec
tio
n, take care not to apply stresses of any kind to the appliance.
When the installa
ti
on is complete, always check that all the unions are absolutely
tig
ht
using a soapy solu
ti
on.
Never use a flame to make this check.
