Installation Instructions
CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms with permanent
ventilation to local standards.
Installation of the appliance and its connection to the electrical mains must only be carried out by
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Before any procedure, it is important to check that the appliance is disconnected from the power
supply. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage arising from installation in breach
of the regulations in force or from failure to comply with accident prevention regulations.
Installation premises
For the proper operation of this gas appliance, the air necessary for the
combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air
must flow into the room directly through openings in the outside walls.
These openings must have an unobstructed cross-section not less than
2m
3
/h for each kW of power (see total power in kW on the appliance
nameplate).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be obstructed from the
inside or outside; and placed close to the floor, preferably on the side
opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it is not feasible
to provide these openings in the room where the appliance is installed, the
necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided that:
·this room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment,
·this room is not in a vacuum,
·the ventilation between the room where the appliance is installed and the
adjacent room is guaranteed by permanent openings.
Note that the minimum height from the hob to the kitchen cabinet is
850mm.
Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases through hoods connected directly to flues 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 ventilation opening to be
increased in proportion 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 times its volume. In both instances, the use
of flues already used by other appliances to discharge the flue gases is forbidden.
Please note that the minimum height between the hob and the ventilation system is 750mm.
