! Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains
important information for safe use, installation and
care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of
the appliance.
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.
