Installation
The following instructions should be read by a qualified
technician to ensure that the appliance is installed, regulated and serviced correctly in compliance with current
standards.
Important: Remember to unplug the appliance from
the mains before making adjustments or doing maintenance.
Positioning
Important: This unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current
National Regulations. The following requirements must
be observed:
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system
that vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may
consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically
starts each time the appliance is turned on.
c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may re-
sult in the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g.
opening windows or increasing mechanical venting (if
present).
d) Liquified petroleum gas is heavier than the air and,
therefore, settles downwards. Thus, rooms containing
LPG cylinders must also be equipped with apertures
to the outside for ventilation of gas in the case of leaks.
LPG cylinders must not, therefore, be installed or stored
in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.) whether they are partially or completely
full. It is a good idea to keep only the cylinder being
used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to
heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces,
stoves, etc. ) which are able to increase the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
Levelling Your Appliance (only on certain models)
Your unit is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance. If
necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings
in the corners of the cooker base.
Flue or Branched Flue System Directly to the Outside
(only for cooking appliances)
b) The room must also have a system to permit proper
air circulation, needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air needed for combustion must not
be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power. The air
circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of
at least 100 cm2; the opening must not be able to be
accidentally blocked. For those appliances not
equipped with a safety device for accidental flame loss,
the ventilation apertures must be increased by 100%,
with the minimum being 200cm2 (Fig. A). The system
can also provide the air needed for combustion by indirect means, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air
circulation tubes as described above. However, these
rooms must not be common rooms or bedrooms.

Mounting the Legs (only on certain models)
The cooker comes with legs that can be mounted beneath
the base of the cooker itself.
Installing the Cooker
The cooker is manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. Therefore, the appliance can be
installed next to cabinets, provided they are not taller than
the hob. If the cooker is placed in contact with walls or the
sides of adjacent cabinets, they must be capable of withstanding a rise in temperature of 50°C above room temperature. For proper installation of the cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) Kitchen cabinets installed next to the cooker that are
higher than the top of the hob, must be at least 200
mm from the edge of the hob itself.
b) Hoods must be installed according to the requirements
in the installation manual for the hood and, in any case,
at a minimum height of 650 mm.
c) If the hood is installed below a wall cabinet, the latter
14
must be at least 700 mm (millimetres) above the surface of the hob. Cabinets installed adjacent to the hood
must be at least 420 mm above the hob, as shown in
Figures C and D.
Cylinder dimensions (only present on some models)
The cylinder’s maximum capacity is to be of 15 Kg and it
must be in line with the dimensions (expressed in
millimetres) as prescribed by the current national
regulations (see figure).

Connecting the gas
The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a
gas cylinder in compliance with current directives. Before
making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated
for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the
instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to
different types of gas”. On some models the gas supply
can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary;
to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose
holder with that of the cap and replace replace the gasket
(supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from
a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with
current directive.
Important: check that the supply pressure complies with
the values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the
burners and nozzles” since this will ensure safe operation,
correct consumption and ensure a longer life to your
appliance.
Instructions for the compulsory course of the
flexible hose (only present on some models)
The cooker’s hose holder must be connected to the
cylinder’s pressure regulator by means of a flexible hose
95 cm in length, with its respective hose clamps. This hose
must be inserted in the special support, as illustrated in
the figure, so as to avoid it coming into contact with hot
surfaces. Use flexible hoses and pressure regulators which
conform to current national regulations.

Connection with hose
Make the connection using a gas hose complying with
the the characteristics provided in current directive. The
internal diameter of the pipe used is as follows:
- 8mm for liquid gas;
- 13mm for methane gas.
When installing the hose, remember to take the following
precautions:
• No part of the hose should touch parts whose tempe-
rature exceeds 50°C;
• The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;
• The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling,
and should not have bends or kinks.
• The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges,
any moving parts, and it should not be crushed;
• The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in
order to check its condition;
Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends
and fix it with clamps complying to current directive.If any
of the above recommendations can not be adopted, flexible
metal pipes should be used.
Should the cooker be installed according to the conditions
of Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which
is in compliance with current safety standards should be
used to make the connection to the gas mains.
