IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
SPECIFICATIONS
The installer should note that the appliance that side
walls should be no higher than the hot plate itself.
Furthermore, the rear wall, the surfaces surrounding
and adjacent to the appliance must be able to withstand
an overtemperature of 65K.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate to the
cabinet must be able to withstand a temperature of not
less than 150° C otherwise the laminate could come
unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance with the
provisions in force.
This appliance is not connected to a device able to
dispose of the combustion fumes. It must therefore be
connected in compliance with the above mentioned
installation standards. Particular care should be paid to
the following provisions governing ventilation and
aeration.
5) ROOM VENTILATION
It is essential to ensure that the room in which the
appliance is installed is permanently ventilated in order
to allow the appliance itself to operate correctly. the
necessary amount of air is that required for regular gas
combustion and ventilation of the relative room, the
volume of which must not be less than 20 m
3
. Air must
naturally flow through permanent openings in the walls
of the room in question. These openings must vent the
fumes outdoors and their section must be at least 100
cm2 (see fig. 3). Construction of the openings must
ensure that the openings themselves may never be
blocked. Indirect ventilation by air drawn from an
adjacent room is also permitted, in strict compliance
with the provisions in force.
CAUTION: if the burners of the cooking top are
without safety thermocouple, the ventilation outlet
must have a minimum 200 cm² section.
6) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of their
combustion fumes through hoods. These must be
connected to flues, chimneys or straight outside. If it is
not possible to install a hood, an electric fan can be
installed on a window or on a wall facing outside (see
fig. 4). This must be activated at the same time as the
appliance (see fig. 5), so long as the specifications in the
provisions in force are strictly complied with.
7) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the values
on the data label affixed to the underside of the hot plate
correspond to those of the gas and electricity mains in
the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure. Gas
connection must comply with the pertinent standards
and provisions in force.
When gas is supplied through ducts, the appliance must
be connected to the gas supply system:
o with a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist
of threaded fittings conforming to the standards.
o With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist of
unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length of
this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the seals must
comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle, the appliance must
be fuelled by a pressure governor conforming to the
provisions in force and must be connected:
o with a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must consist of
unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The length of
this pipe must be 2 meters at most and the seals must
comply with the standards. It is advisable to apply the
special adapter to the flexible pipe. This is easily available
from the shops and facilitates connection with the hose
nipple of the pressure governor on the bottle.
o With rubber hose pipe in compliance with standards. The
diameter of this hose pipe must be 8 mm and its length
must be no less than 400 mm and no more than 1500
mm. It must be firmly fixed to the hose nipple by means of
the safety clamp specified by standards.
At the connection end, verify the gasproof using a soap solution,
never a flame.
WARNINGS:
Remember that the gas inlet union on the
appliance is a 1/2" gas parallel male type in
compliance with EN 10226 standards.
Installation of stainless steel pipe and rubber hose
pipe must ensure that it is never able to touch
mobile parts of the built-in cabinet (eg. drawers).
Furthermore, it must not pass through
compartments that could be used for storage
purposes.
When using a rubber hose pipe, it is essential to
comply with the following instructions:
- no part of the pipe must be able to touch parts
the temperature of which exceeds 65K.
- The pipe must not be pulled or twisted, throttled
or tughtly bent.
- It must not come into contact with sharp edges or
corners.
- It must be easy to inspect the entire pipe length in
order to check its state of wear.
- The pipe must be replaced within the date
stamped on the pipe itself.
- The appliance complies with the provisions of the
following EEC Directives:
90/396 + 93/68 regarding gas safety.
