Installation

! Before placing your new appliance into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe installation and operation of the appliance.

! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.

! The appliance must be installed by a qualied professional

in accordance with the instructions provided.

! Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be performed after the cooker has been disconnected from the electricity supply.

The cookers have the following technical specications:

Category: II 2H3+

Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in permanentlyventilated rooms, according to current national legislation. The room in which the appliance is installed must be ventilated adequately in order to provide as much air as is

needed by the normal gas combustion process (the ow of

air must not be lower than 2 m3/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 cm2 and should be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial

obstruction (see gure 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 ame failure safety device. When the ow of air is

provided in an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see

gure B), provided that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with increased re hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be tted with a ventilation duct leading outside

as described above.

Adjacent Room

Room to be Vented

In a chimney stack or branched flue. (exclusively for cooking appliances)

Directly to the Outside

! The liqueed petroleum gases are heavier than air and collect by the oor, 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 which 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) which may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.

Positioning and levelling

! The appliance may be installed alongside any 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-ammable, heat-resistant

material (T 90°C).

To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the studio at

(not in the bathroom).

• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the

appliance must be installed at least 500 mm away from them.

• 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

700 mm. without hood

Electrical connection

The legs* t into the slots on

the underside of the base of the cooker.

Replacing the cable

Use a rubber cable of the type H05VV-F with a cross section

of 3 x 2.5 mm². The yellow-green earth wire must be 2 ÷ 3 cm longer than the other wires.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder may be

carried out using a exible rubber or steel hose, in accordance

with current national legislation and after making sure that the appliance is suited to the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the rating sticker on the cover: if this is not the case see below). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current national regulations.

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The appliance is designed to work with alternating current at the supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate (situated on the rear part of the appliance and on the last page of the instruction booklet) or at the end of the instruction booklet. Make sure that the local supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating plate. To connect directly to the mains supply, a double-pole switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm suitable for the load and complying with current standards and regulations,

must be tted between the appliance and the mains supply

outlet. The yellow-green earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch. The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50 °C above room temperature. Do not use adapters or shunts as they could cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand

the load from the appliance (see rating plate);

• the supply system is efciently earthed according to

standards and laws in force;

• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible

when the appliance is installed.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.

Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

! Make sure that the gas supply pressure is consistent with the values indicated in the Table of burner and nozzle specifications (see below). This will ensure the safe operation and durability of your appliance while maintaining

efcient energy consumption.

Gas connection using a exible rubber hose

Make sure that the hose complies with current national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose must measure: 8 mm for a liquid gas supply; 13 mm for a methane gas supply.

Once the connection has been performed, make sure that the hose:

• Does not come into contact with any parts which reach

temperatures of over 50°C.

• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and that it

is not kinked or bent.

• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp corners

or moving parts and that it is not compressed.

• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that its

condition may be checked.

• Is shorter than 1500 mm.

• Fits rmly into place at both ends, where it will be xed

using clamps which comply with current regulations.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

Green & Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral Brown - Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or or coloured Green or Green & Yellow. Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured Red. Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured Black.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

! If one or more of these conditions is not fullled or if the

cooker must be installed according to the conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances (installed between two

cupboards), the exible steel hose must be used instead

(see below).

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with current

national legislation. To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

! Should the gas pressure used be different (or vary slightly) from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure

regulator must be tted to the inlet hose in accordance

with current national regulations relating to “regulators for channelled gas”.

! Perform the connection in such a way that the hose length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres, making sure that the hose is not compressed and does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the connection for leaks

When the installation process is complete, check the hose

ttings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a ame.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas other than the default type (this is indicated on the rating label on the cover).

Adapting the hob

Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their seats.

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a 7

mm socket spanner (see gure),

and replace them with nozzles suited to the new type of gas (see

Burner and nozzle specications

table).

3. Replace all the components by following the above instructions in reverse.

Safety Chain

! In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance,

for example by a child climbing onto the oven door, the

supplied safety chain MUST be installed!

The cooker is tted with a safety chain to be xed by means

of a screw (not supplied with the cooker) to the wall behind the appliance, at the same height as the chain is attached to the appliance.

Choose the screw and the screw anchor according to the type of material of the wall behind the appliance. If the head of the screw has a diameter smaller than 9mm, a washer should be used. Concrete wall requires the screw of at least 8mm of diameter, and 60mm of length.

Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:

1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.

2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory screw, which

is positioned inside or next to the tap pin, until the ame is

small but steady. ! If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as tightly as possible.

3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa several

times, checking that the ame is not extinguished.

! The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.

! After adjusting the appliance so it may be used with a

different type of gas, replace the old rating label with a new one which corresponds to the new type of gas (these labels are available from Authorised Technical Assistance Centres).
