Installation
The following instructions should be read by a qualified
technician to ensure that the appliance is installed, regu-
lated and technically serviced correctly in compliance with
current regulations.
Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electri-
cal supply before performing any maintenance or
regulating the appliance.
Positioning
Important: This unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with current
National Regulations. The following requirements must be
observed:
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system
that vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may
consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically
starts each time the appliance is turned on.
A Flue or Branched Flue System
Directly to the outside
(only for cooking appliances)
b) The room must also have a system to permit proper air
circulation, needed for combustion to occur normally. The
flow of air needed for combustion must not be less than
2 m
3
/h per kW of installed power. The air circulation sys-
tem may take air directly from the outside by means of a
pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
2
; the
opening must not be able to be accidentally blocked. For
those appliances not equipped with a safety device for
accidental flame loss, the ventilation apertures must be
increased by 100%, with the minimum being 200cm
2
(Fig. A). The system can also provide the air needed for
combustion by indirect means, i.e. from adjacent rooms
fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. How-
ever, these rooms must not be common rooms or bed-
rooms. (Fig. B).

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may re-
sult in the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g.
opening windows or increasing mechanical venting (if
present).
d) Liquified petroleum gas is heavier than the air and,
therefore, settles downwards. Thus, rooms containing
LPG cylinders must also be equipped with apertures
to the outside for ventilation of gas in the case of leaks.
LPG cylinders must not, therefore, be installed or stored
in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.) whether they are partially or completely
full. It is a good idea to keep only the cylinder being
used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to
heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces,
stoves, etc. ) which are able to increase the tempera-
ture of the cylinder above 50°C.
Levelling your Appliance (only on certain models)
4 support feet which are adjusted using screws are located
in the lower part of the cooker. These level off the oven
when necessary. It is essential that the cooker be standing
level.
Mounting the Legs (only on certain models)
Legs are provided and can be installed under the base of
the cooker.
Installation of the Cooker
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material. During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of
the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are
higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 600 mm
from the edge of the hob itself.
b) Hoods must be installed according to the requirements
in the installation manual for the hood and, in any case,
at a minimum height of 650 mm.
c) If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter
must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface
of the hob. Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood must
be at least 420 mm above the hob, as shown in Figures
