! Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important

information for safe use, installation and care of the

appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of

the appliance.

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.
