Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It
can become a choking or suffocation hazard (
see
Precautions and tips
).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional according to the instructions provided.
Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and
animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently
ventilated rooms in accordance with British Standard
Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S.
6891 Current Editions. The following requirements must be
observed:
The room must be equipped with an air extraction
system that expels any combustion fumes. This may
consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically
starts each time the appliance is switched on.
The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is
needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of
air must not be less than 2 m
3
/h
per kW of installed power.
The air circulation system 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
vulnerable to any type of
blockages.
The system can also provide the
air needed for combustion
indirectly, i.e. from adjacent
rooms fitted with air circulation
tubes as described above.
However, these rooms must not
be communal rooms, bedrooms
or rooms that may present a fire hazard.
Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier
than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders
must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to
escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG
cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not
be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are
below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable 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
could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
Fitting the appliance
Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X
degree protection against overheating. The following
precautions must be taken when installing the hob:
Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller
than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from
the edge of the hob.
Hoods must be installed according to their relative
installation instruction manuals and at a minimum
distance of 650 mm from the hob.
Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a
minimum height of 420 mm from the hob (
see figure
).
If the hob is installed beneath a
wall cabinet, the latter must be
situated at a minimum of 700 mm
above the hob (
see figure
).
The installation cavity should have the dimensions
indicated in the figure.
Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten
the hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick.
To ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we
recommend you use all the hooks provided.
