INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
SPECIFICATIONS
The installer should note that the
appliance that side walls should be no
higher than the hot plate itself.
Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces
surrounding and adjacent to the appliance
must be able to withstand an temperature of 90 °C.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate to
the cabinet must be able to withstand a temperature
of not less than 150 °C otherwise the laminate could
come unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance with
the provisions in force.
This appliance is not connected to a device able to
dispose of the combustion fumes. It must therefore
be connected in compliance with the above
mentioned installation standards. Particular care
should be paid to the following provisions
governing ventilation and aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
It is essential to ensure that the room in which the
appliance is installed is permanently ventilated in
order to allow the appliance itself to operate
correctly. the necessary amount of air is that
required for regular gas combustion and ventilation
of the relative room, the volume of which must not
be less than 20 m
3
. Air must naturally flow through
permanent openings in the walls of the room in
question. These openings must vent the fumes
outdoors and their section must be at least 100 cm
2
(see fig. 3). Construction of the openings must
ensure that the openings themselves may never be
blocked. Indirect ventilation by air drawn from an
adjacent room is also permitted, in strict compliance
with the provisions in force.
CAUTION: if the burners of the cooking top are
without safety thermocouple, the ventilation
outlet must have a minimum 200 cm² section.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of their
combustion fumes through hoods. These must be
connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside. If it
is not possible to install a hood, an electric fan can be
installed on a window or on a wall facing outside (see
fig. 4). This must be activated at the same time as the
appliance (see fig. 5), so long as the specifications in the
provisions in force are strictly complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the
values on the data label affixed to the underside of
the hot plate correspond to those of the gas and
electricity mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure. Gas
connection must comply with the pertinent
standards and provisions in force.
When gas is supplied through ducts,
the appliance
must be connected to the gas supply system:
●
with a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of threaded fittings conforming to the
standards.
●
With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist
of unions with mechanical seals.
●
With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length
of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the seals
must comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle,
the appliance
must be fuelled by a pressure governor conforming to
the provisions in force and must be connected:
●
with a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist
of unions with mechanical seals.
●
With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length
of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the seals
must comply with the standards. It is advisable to
apply the special adapter to the flexible pipe. This is
easily available from the shops and facilitates
connection with the hose nipple of the pressure
governor on the bottle.
●
With rubber hose pipe in compliance with standards.
The diameter of this hose pipe must be 8 mm and its
length must be no less than 400 mm and no more
than 1500 mm. It must be firmly fixed to the hose
nipple by means of the safety clamp specified by
standards.
WARNINGS:
remember that the gas inlet union on the
appliance is a 1/2" gas parallel male type in
compliance with EN 10226 standards.
Installation of stainless steel pipe and rubber
hose pipe must ensure that it is never able to
touch mobile parts of the built-in cabinet (eg.
drawers). Furthermore, it must not pass
through compartments that could be used for
storage purposes.
When using a rubber hose pipe, it is essential
to comply with the following instructions:
- no part of the pipe must be able to touch
parts the temperature of 90 °C.
- The pipe must not be pulled or twisted,
throttled or tughtly bent.
- It must not come into contact with sharp
edges or corners.
- It must be easy to inspect the entire pipe
length in order to check its state of wear.
- The pipe must be replaced within the date
stamped on the pipe itself.
- The appliance complies with the provisions
of the following CEE Directives:
CE 2009/142 regarding gas safety
