! 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.
! Intensive and prolonged use may require additional
ventilation, for example, opening a window or
ventilation more efficient by increasing the suction
power
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 50 mm from the edge
of the hob.
• Hoods must be installed according to their relative
installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance
of 700 mm from the hob.
• Place the wall cabinets adjacent
to the hood at a minimum height of
540 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).
Installation
Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to
guarantee proper installation in compliance with the
applicable norms in force regarding accident-prevention for
electrical connection. For the correct operation of the appliance
when built into the cabinet, it is vital that the minimum
distances illustrated in
Fig. 1 be respected.
The hob features a
type Y degree of
protection against
overheating in
compliance with
norms. All surfaces
adjacent to the cabinet
and the back panel
should be made of
materials resistant to a
temperature of 65°C.
