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.
