Installation
The following instructions are intended for the installer so that
the installation and maintenance procedures may be followed in
the most professional and expert manner possible. Important:
Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before
performing any maintenance or repair.
This manual is for a class 3 built-in cooktop.
Positioning the Cooktop
Important: 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:
a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which
vents smoke and gases from combustion to the outside.
This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator
that turns on automatically each time the hob is operated.
In a chimney stack or branched flue. Directly to the Outside
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
b) The room must have an air flow to allow for proper combustion.
This must be 2 m 3 ³/h per kW of installed power. The airflow
can be created using an enclosed vent with an inner cross
section of at least 100 cm² which must not be able to be
blocked. If the appliance does not have a flame failure device,
the vent must have an internal cross section of 200 cm
3 ³
(Fig. A). Alternatively the room in which the hob is situated
can be vented indirectly through ventilation ducts as specified
above, as long as the adjacent room is not a shared area, a
bedroom or present any risk of fire (Fig. B).

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessi-
tate supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or
increasing the power of the air intake system (if present).
d) Liquidified petroleum gases are heavier than air and, as a
result, settle downwards. Rooms in which LPG tanks are
installed must be fitted with ventilation openings to the outside
in order to allow the gas to escape in the event of a leak.
Therefore, LPG tanks, whether empty or partially full, must
not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces below ground
level (cellars, ect.). It is also a good idea to keep only the
tank currently being used in the room, making sure that it is
not near sources of heat (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.)
that could raise the internal temperature of the tank above
50°C.
Installation of Built-in Hobs
The gas hob is equipped with type X degree protection against
overheating. Therefore, the appliance can be installed next to
cabinets, provided the height of the cabinet does not exceed
that of the hob. For proper installation of the hob, the following
guidlines must be followed:
a) If the cabinet(s) located next to the hob are higher than the
hob itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed at least 110 mm
from the hob edge.
b) Hoods must be installed in accordance with the instructions
contained in the installation manual for the hoods themselves,
and no less than 650 mm from the hob.
c) In the case of the 600 mm cooker hoods, besides following
the recommendations in point b), the cabinets should be
positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 540 mm
from the top since this will make it possible to install the lid
and move it correctly. The cabinet should always be installed
at a height from the top which allows easy use of pots and
pans on the cooker.
d) Should the hob be installed directly under a cupboard, the
latter should be at least 700 mm (millimetres) from the top,
as shown in Figure.
600mm min.
540mm min. 700mm min.
e) The dimensions of the cutout for the appliance must be those
indicated in the figure. Clamps are provided to fasten the hob
to counters measuring from 20 to 40 mm in thickness. To
fasten the hob securely, it is recommended that all the clamps
be used.
