Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel must
be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of
20 mm from the lower part of the hob.
Ventilation
To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be
removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of
wood, or on a completely at surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560
mm (see diagrams).
560 mm.
45 mm.
! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a cooling ventilation
system.
Where a hob is installed above an oven without a forced ventilation cooling
system, adequate ventilation must be provided inside the cabinet by means
of air holes through which air can pass (see gure).
Electrical connection
! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the supply voltage and
frequency indicated on the rating plate (situated under the hob). Make sure
that the local supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
rating plate.
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity supply
For models supplied without a plug, t a standard plug suitable for the load
indicated on the rating plate, onto a cable and connect to a suitable socket.
To connect direct to the mains supply, a double pole switch with a contact
separation of at least 3mm suitable for the load and complying with current
standards and regulations must be tted between the appliance and the
mains supply outlet.
The green-yellow earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it reaches a temperature
of 50°C above room temperature. For installation above a built-under
oven, the hob and the oven must be connected separately to the electricity
supply, both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of the oven for repair,
maintenance etc.
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause overheating or burning.
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:
The limiter switch and the domestic system can withstand the load from
The appliance (see rating plate).
The supply system is efciently earthed according to standards and laws
in force.
The socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible when the appliance
is installed.
! The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or
or coloured
Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured Red or Brown.
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured Black or Blue.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS
RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.
Replacing the cable
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a suitable cross section 3 x
0.75 mm².
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than the other wires.
Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas
cylinder in compliance with current national regulations. Before carrying out
the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you
wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated in the
paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which
complies with current national regulations.
! Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated
in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle specications”). This will ensure the safe operation
and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efcient energy consumption.
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
! Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to
place any strain of any kind on the appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe tting on the appliance supply ramp
and this is tted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always
be replaced after rotating the pipe tting (seal provided with appliance). The
gas supply pipe tting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded
attachment
The gas supply pipe tting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000 mm
when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that
the exible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.
! Only use pipes and seals that comply with current national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
! When the installation process is complete, check the pipe ttings for leaks
using a soapy solution. Never use a ame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than default type (indicated
on the rating plate at the base of the hob or on the packaging), the burner
nozzles should be replaced as follows:
