Installation
! Before operating your new appliance please read
GB
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation
and operation of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept
with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional according to the instructions provided.
! Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected
from the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-
ventilated rooms, in accordance with current national
legislation. The room in which the appliance is
installed must be ventilated adequately so as to
provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas
combustion process (the flow of air must not be
lower than 2 m
3
/h per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a
duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
and should be positioned so that they are not liable
to even partial obstruction ( see figure A ).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a
minimum of 200 cm
hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety
device. When the flow of air is provided in an
indirect manner from adjacent rooms ( see figure B ),
provided that these are not communal parts of a
building, areas with increased fire hazards or
bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a
ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

Disposing of combustion fumes
The disposal of combustion fumes should be
guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and
efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric
fan that begins to operate automatically every time
the appliance is switched on ( see figure ).
Fumes channelled
straight outside
! The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air
and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing
LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside
so that any leaked gas can escape easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or
2
completely full, must not be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should
be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys,
stoves) that may cause the temperature of the
cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
! It is possible to install the appliance alongside
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
! Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of
the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-
resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bed-
sit (not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,
the appliance must be installed at least 600 mm
away from them.
Fumes channelled through
a chimney or a branched
flue system (reserved for
cooking appliances)
