! Before operating your new appliance please read

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, according to 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

2

 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

2

 - whenever the surface of the 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).

Installation

A

! After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable

to open a window or increase the speed of any fans

used.

! 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

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, 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.

• If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet,

there must be a minimum distance of 420 mm

between this cabinet and the top of the hob.

This distance should be increased to 700 mm if the

wall cabinets are flammable (see figure).
