 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.

!

 After prolonged use of the appliance, it is

advisable to open a window or increase the speed of
any fans used.

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).

!

 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, 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 200 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).
