Positioning
!
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can
become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions
and tips).
!

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 current national
regulations. 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.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.

• 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
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 (see figure).
• 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.
Before the installation remove the grids and burners from
the hob and turn it upside down, making sure you don’t
damage the thermocouples and spark plugs.
Apply the seals that come with the appliance along the outer
edges of the hob to prevent any passage of air, humidity
and water (see Figure).
For proper application make sure the surfaces to be sealed
are clean, dry and free of any grease/oil.
• 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.
