The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, in accordance with 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

/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

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 cm2 - 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.

! 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.

• 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

The following minimum clearances to combustible materials must be observed:

• Minimum clearance from edge of burner to side wall must be 200 mm.

• Minimum clearance from edge of burner to rear wall must be 200 mm.

• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200 mm away from its sides.

Range hoods

Range hoods and overhead exhaust fans must be installed according to manufacturers’ instructions but in no case shall clearance from hob burners be less than 600 mm for range hoods and 750 mm for overhead exhaust fans. If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob.

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, heatresistant material (T 90°C).

To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the bedsit (not in the bathroom).

• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the appliance must be installed at least 600 mm away from them.

The legs* fit into the slots on the underside of the base of the cooker.

Mounting a Power Supply Cable

Connecting the power supply cable to the mains.

Fit a normalized plug to the cable, which corresponds to the load indicated on the data plate; if the cooker is connected directly to the mains, an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum opening of 3 mm between the contacts, suitable for the load indicated and complying with current directives, must be installed between the appliance and the mains (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The power supply cable must be positioned so that it does not exceed room temperature by 50°C at any point of its length. Before making the connection check that:

• the limiter valve and the home system can support appliance load (see data plate);

• the power supply system has an efficient earthing connection which complies with the provisions of current regulations and the law;

• there is easy access to the socket or the omnipolar circuit-breaker once the cooker has been installed.

! Do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as these could cause heating or burning.

Opening the terminal board:

••

• Using a screwdriver, prise on the side tabs of the
