Installation

All instruction on the following pages must be carried out
by a competent person (corgi registered) in compliance
with gas safety (installation and use) regulation 1984.
Important: disconnect the cooker from the electrycity
and gas supply when any adjustment, etc.

Positioning your appliance
Your cooker is designed with a degree of protection against
overheating in class X; the appliance can therefore be
installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not
exceed that of the hob. The wall touching the back panel of
the cooker should be non-inflammable. Remember that
during use, the back panel of the cooker may reach a tem-
perature up to 50°C above that of the room temperature.
Important: this appliance may be installed and used only
in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current
directives. The following precautions should be taken:

a) The room must be provided with an external exhaust

system obtained with a hood or with an electric
ventilator that goes on automatically each time the unit
is switched on.

In the case of chimneys or flues

Directly to the

with branches (for cookers)

exterior

b) The room must be provided with a system for air inflow

which is necessary for a regular combustion. The air
flow necessary for the combustion should be at least 2
m

3

/h for kW of installed power. The system may be

realized by drawing the air directly from outside the
building through a pipe that has at least a 100 cm

2

useable section and which must not be accidently
obstructed (Fig. A). And further it may be realized
indirectly from other adjacent rooms which are provided
with a ventilation pipe for the expulsion of the fumes to
the outside of the building as foresaid, and which must
not be part of the building in common use or rooms
with risk of fire, or bedrooms (Fig. B).

c) During prolonged use of the appliance you may

consider it necessary to open a window to the outside
to improve ventilation.

d) The liquefied petroleum gases, which are heavier than

air, stagnate towards the ground. Therefore, the rooms
containing LPG cans must have openings towards the
outside in order to allow the venting from the ground of
eventual gas leak. Thus, the LPG cans must not be
installed or settled in rooms that are below the ground
level, (cellar, etc.) whether the cans are empty or
partially full. It is advisable to keep in the room only the
can which is being used, and it must be placed away
from direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc.) that could make the can reach temperatures
higher than 50°C.

Levelling your appliance (only on a few models)
Your cooker is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance.
If necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings
in the corners of the cooker base.

Mounting the legs (only on a few models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your
cooker.

Installation of the cooker
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material.  During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of
the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) The appliance can be placed in a kitchen, dining room

or bedsit, but not in a bathroom.

b) All furniture around the appliance must be placed at

least 200 mm from the top of the cooker, should the
surface of the appliance be higher than the worktop of
this furniture. Curtains should not be placed behind
the cooker or less than 200 mm away from the sides
of the appliance.

c) Any hoods must be installed according to the require-

ments in the installation manual for the hoods them-
selves.

d) If the cooker is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the
