INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

It is important that all installation procedures be performed by a qualified technician. After unpacking the oven to connect it, rest it on its base without damaging it. Do not lift the oven by the door handle, but hold it at the sides.

Do not lift the oven by the gas connection. Make sure that the appliance has not been damaged during transport. Oven dimensions and kitchen unit dimensions are shown in the opposite figure. Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant: min. 75°C above ambient temperature during periods of operation.

House the oven in the unit cavity, lifting it at the sides and making sure that the supply cable is not trapped. for correct ventilation, follow the ventilation opening directions shown

in the figure.

secure the oven to the kitchen unit with the screws.

Note: to allow for proper ventilation, we recommend that you leave an opening of at least 560 x 30 mm or an equivalent area in the lower section of the housing.

Also provide for at least 5 mm clearance between the top of the oven and the lower edge of the worktop: this gap must never be closed by strips

or unit reinforcing pieces. When the oven is installed, make sure that the sides do not touch the front edges of the unit or the adjacent drawers and doors.

INSTALLATION SCHEME

INSTALLATION

Installation location

In order for the gas unit to work properly it is essential that the air necessary for burning

the gas flows into the area naturally. The installer must follow the safety norms for the country of installation. The flow of air into the area must come directly through openings made in the exterior walls. These openings must have a free passage section of at least 100 cm² (one or more openings can be made). Products of combustion must be exhausted through a hood connected to a fume flue or directly outside. In the event that it is not possible to install the hood, it is necessary to use an electric ventilation fan installed in the outside wall or window of the area so long as there is an opening for air to enter the area in conformity with current law. This electric ventilation fan must have a flow capacity sufficient to guarantee that 3 to 5 times the volume of air in the room is exchanged every hour.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Attention: do not connect to the power supply before you have finished connecting the oven and cooktop.

Make sure that installation and hook-up are performed by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and in compliance with local

regulations. The installer is responsible for the correct electrical connection and for

the observance of the safety rules.

The oven must be connected to the electricity supply by means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm.

The appliance must be earthed by law. Do not use multiple sockets or extensions.

After the oven has been installed, the electrical components must be inaccessible.

Make sure that the voltage stated on the appliance rating plate is the same as the

voltage in your home. The rating plate is on the lower front edge of the oven (visible with the door open).

If the power supply cable needs replacing, make sure that it is replaced with a cable similar to the one provided by the Manufacturer (H05 RR-F type) and that installation

is performed by the Service Center or a qualified technician.

The appliance is equipped with the cable for the electrical connection without plug.
