appliance.
The following instructions are provided for qualified
installers so that they may accomplish installation,
adjustment and technical maintenance operations
correctly and in compliance with current regulations
and standards.
Important: the appliance should be disconnected
from the mains electricity supply before any
adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out.
Maximum caution should be used should it be
necessary to keep the appliance connected to the
electricity supply.
The appliance has the following technical
specifications:
Category: II 2H3+
Positioning
The dimensions of the appliance are given in the
figure. For trouble-free operation of appliances
installed in housing units, the minimum distances
shown in figure should be observed. Adjacent
surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able
to withstand an overheating temperature of 65 °C.
In the lower part of the cooker there are 4 height
adjustable screw-in feet with which it is possible to
level the cooker if necessary.
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172/B.S. 5440,
Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:
a) The cooker should not be installed in a bed sitting
room with a volume of less than 20m 3 . If it is
installed in a room of volume less than 5m 3 an air
vent of effective area of 110cm 2 is required, if it is
installed in a room of volume between 5m 3 and
10m 3 a supplementary airvent area of 50cm 2 is
required, if the volume exceeds 11m 3 no airvent is
required. However, if the room has a door or a
window which opens directly to the outside no air
vent is required even when the volume is between
5m 3 and 11m 3 .
b) During prolonged use of the appliance you may
consider it necessary to open a window to the
outside to improve ventilation.
c) If there are other fuel burning appliances in the
same room, B.S.5440 Part 2 Current Edition, should,
be consulted to determine the requisite air vent
requirements.
Kitchen ventilation
The air flow into the room where the appliance is
installed must equal the quantity of air that is required
for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating
the same room. Air must enter naturally through
permanent apertures made in the outside walls of the
room or through single or branching collective
ventilation ducts in compliance with the norms. The air
must be taken directly from the outside, from an area
far from sources of pollution. The ventilation aperture
must have the following characteristics:
• total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm²
for every kW of rated heating capacity of the
appliance, with a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating
capacity is indicated on the rating plate);
• it must be made in such a way that the aperture,
both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot
be obstructed;
• it must be protected, e.g. with grates, wire mesh,
etc. in such a way that the above-mentioned free
section is not reduced;
• it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.
