Range hoods and exhaust fans shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
However, in no case shall the clearance between the highest part of the hob of the cooking appliance
and a range hood or an overhead exaust fan be less than 700 mm. Any other downward facing
combustible surface less than 700 mm above the highest part of the hob shall be protected for the full
width and depth of the cooking surface area in accordance with clause 5.12.1.2. However, in no case
shall the clearance to any surface be less than 450mm. The maximum depth of wall cabinet above the
cooking shall be 400 mm.

2. Side clearances – (Measurements B & C)

Where B, measured from the periphery of the nearest burner to any vertical combustible surface, is
less than 200 mm, the surface shall be protected in accordance with Clause 5.12.1.2 to a height C of
not less than 200 mm above the level of the backguard for the full width of the cooking surface area.
Where the cooking appliance is fitted with a “splash back”, protection of the rear wall is not required.

ALL SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE COMPLETED BY THE MANUFACTURER’S
AUTHORISED PERSONNEL ONLY.

Before carrying any servicing operation disconnect the appliance from gas and electric supply and
extra appliance from final installation place in order to have access to the appliance for proper
servicing intervention.

Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appliance from gas and electricity. Gas
conversion shall be conducted by a factory-trained professional. Call the customer service
hotline to identify a factory-trained professional near your home. The gas conversion
procedure for this range includes differents steps:

1. Pressure regulator

2. Surface burners

3. Main oven burner

4. Visual checks prior to closure of oven bottom panel

5. Adjustment of minimum setting

The conversion is not completed if all 5 steps have not been concluded properly.
Before performing the gas conversion, locate the package containing the replacement nozzle shipped
with every range.

IMPORTANT: Each nozzle has a number indicating its flow diameter printed on the body.
Consult the table on page 20 for matching nozzles to burners. Save the nozzles removed from the
range for future use.

STEP 2: SURFACE BURNERS

For surface burners conversion ref to table 1 chapter ‘Adaption to various types of gas’ at page 8 and
chapter ‘Conversion to different types of gas’ at page 12

STEP 3: MAIN OVEN BURNER

For main oven burner conversion ref to table 1 chapter ‘Adaption to various types of gas’ at page 8 and
chapter ‘Conversion to different types of gas’ at page 12

STEP 4: VISUAL CHECKS

The following visual check must be performed to ensure that the conversion has been carried out
properly and without damage to other components of the range. Verify that the flame of the oven
burner be completely blue and with regular aspect as shown below.

CONNECTION OF THERMOCOUPLE TO THERMOSTAT
The thermocouple for oven burner is connected to the magnet. Tight gently the connection. The tip of
the spark plug or thermocouple must fully overlap at least the first gas emission hole of the burner.
After performing all these visual checks, reinstall the bottom panel of the oven compartment and
proceed to setting the minimum for each burner.

STEP 5: MINIMUM FLAME ADJUSTMENT

WARNING!

These adjustments should be made only for use of the appliance with Natural gas. For use with ULPG,
the choke screw must be fully turned in a clockwise direction.

Surface burners

Light one burner at a time and set the knob to the MINIMUM position (small flame). Remove the knob.
The range is equipped with a safety valve. Using a small-size slotted screwdriver, locate the choke
valve on the valve body and turn the choke screw to the right or left until the burner flame is adjusted
to desired minimum. Make sure that the flame does not go out when switching quickly from the
MAXIMUM to the MINIMUM position.

Oven burner

Set the oven temperature control knob to the MAXIMUM setting. Close the oven door and operate the
oven for at least 10 minutes. Set the knob to the MINIMUM setting. Remove the knob. With a slotted
screwdriver turn the choking screw (bypass screw at the left side of the thermostat bar) and, while
observing the flame at the same time through the bottom oven porthole, evaluate the consistency of
the flame so it remains on when switching quickly from MINIMUM to MAXIMUM setting.

Room Ventilation

To ensure that the appliance operates correctly, the room
where it is installed must be continuously ventilated.
The room volume should not be less than 25m3 and the
quantity of air should be based on the regular combustion
of gas and on the ventilation of the room. Natural air will
flow through permanent openings in the walls of the room
to be ventilated. These openings will be connected with
the outside environment and should have a minimum
cross-section defined by current national standards
regarding room ventilation (Fig. 04).
These openings should be built so that they cannot be
clogged. Indirect ventilation is also permitted by taking air
from the rooms adjacent to the one to be ventilated.
