Sealing the Cooktop
The cooktop has a special seal which prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly comply with the
following instructions in order to apply this seal correctly:
- Take off all the movable parts of the cooktop.
- Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the seal itself.
- Overturn the cooktop and correctly position seal “E” (fig. 3) under the edge of the cooktop itself, so that the
outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the cooktop. The ends of the strips must fit
together without overlapping.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the cooktop, pressing into place with the fingers and remove the strip of
protective transparent film from the seal and set the plate into the hole made in the cabinet.
- Fix the cooktop with the proper brackets “S” and fit the prominent part into the porthole “H” on the bottom; turn
the screw “F” until the bracket “S” touches the top (fig. 4). In fastening the brackets, do not use a mechanical
or electric screwdriver. Instead, use a hand-operated screwdriver and exert only moderate force.
The adjacent walls (left, right or behind) that exceed the cooktop in height must be at a minimum distance from
the cut hole as indicated in Fig. 1 and the chart on the preceding page.
In order to avoid accidentally touching the hot cooktop bottom, it is necessary to put a horizontal wooden insert, attached
by screws, at a minimum distance of 6" below the lower surface of the cooktop (see Fig. 1).
Room Ventilation
To ensure proper operation of the appliance, be sure that the room where it is installed has adequate
ventilation.
The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward
toward the appliance. It may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking
appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
