• Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a
wooden panel must be installed as insulation. This
must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 mm from
the lower part of the hob.
Ventilation
To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the
cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the
oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a
completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x
560 mm (see diagrams).
! The hob can only be installed above built-in ovens with a
cooling ventilation system.
Gas connection
The appliance should be connected to the main gas
supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current
national regulations. Before carrying out the connection,
make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply
you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas.”
When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure
regulator which complies with current national regulations.
Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent
with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle
specifications”). This will ensure the safe operation and
longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient
energy consumption.
Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel)
Connection to the gas system must be carried out in
such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the
appliance.
There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the
appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in
order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced
after rotating the pipe fitting (seal provided with
appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2
gas cylindrical male attachment.
Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a
threaded attachment
The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas
cylindrical male attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer
than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once connection has
been carried out, make sure that the flexible metal pipe
does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed.
Only use pipes and seals that comply with current
national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
When the installation process is complete, check the
pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a
flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than
default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of
the hob or on the packaging), the burner nozzles should
be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their
seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and
replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see
table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).
3. Reassemble the parts following the above procedure in
the reverse order.
