Introduction

DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE

When not in use, make sure that the control knobs are in the correct (OFF) position .

Never put inflammable objects in the oven: They could be accidentally catch fire and burn.

The I.D plate with technical date, serial number and brand name is positioned visibly in the storage compartment.

The plate must not be removed.

Do not put pans without perfectly smooth and flat bottoms on the

hob pan stands.

During use the appliance becomes very hot. Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven.

Do not use containers or broilers that extend beyond the outer perimeter of the hob.

The appliance is designed for use by adults. Do not allow children to go near or play with it. When operating the grill all accessible parts could become very hot:

keep out of the way of children.

If the appliance is to be positioned on a platform it must be installed in such a way as to prevent it from tilting off it.

This appliance is designed for cooking food and it shall not be used as a space heater.

Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

Do not apply decorative panels to the lower part of the cooker as they may prevent correct air circulation and cause overheating.

Instructions for the installer

2. Installation of the appliance

The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician and according to the regulations in force.

This appliance may be installed next to a wall which is higher than the appliance, with a minimum distance of 50 mm from the side of the appliance, as shown in drawings A and B showing the correct installation conditions. Any wall cupboards or shelves must be at a distance of atA least 75 cm above the work surface.

Built-in appliance Free-standing installation

2.1 Electrical connection

Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications indicated on the rating plate located inside the storage compartment.

This rating plate must never be removed.

If the appliance is hooked-up to the supply by means of a fixed connection, install a multipolar cut-out device on the line, with contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm, located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position.

Hook-up to the supply may be fixed or with plug and socket. In the latter case the plug and socket must be suitable for the cable employed and conform with the regulations in force. Regardless of the type of connection, earthing of the appliance is absolutely obligatory. Before connection make sure that the supply line is suitably earthed. Avoid the use of reducers, adapters or shunts.1

If the power cable is replaced, the wire section on the new cable must not be less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable), keeping in mind that the end to be connected to the hob must have the ground wire (yellow-green) longer by at least 20 mm. Use only H05V2V2-F cable or similar which has a maximum temperature of 90°C. This must be done by a specialised technician, who must connect the cooker to the electricity supply according to the diagram shown here.

L = brown N = blue

= yellow-green.

Warning: The values indicated above refer to the cross-section of the internal conductor.

Instructions for the installer

2.2 Ventilation requirements

2.2.1 Room ventilation

The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow as required for the regular combustion of gas and by the necessary air exchange of the same room. The air vent, protected by grilles, must be suitably dimensioned in compliance with the current regulations and positioned so that no part of it is obstructed. The cooker must be kept adequately ventilated in order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: in particular, after prolonged use, it is recommended to open a window or to increase the speed of any ventilators.

2.2.2 Extraction of the products of combustion

Extraction of the products of combustion must be ensured by means of hoods connected to a natural draught chimney whose efficiency is assured or via forced extraction. An efficient extraction system requires precision planning by a specialist qualified in this area and must comply with the positions and distances indicated by the regulations. When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity.

2.3 Connection to gas

At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a naked flame.

2.3.1 Connector installation

Carefully screw the connector B to the gas outlet A of the appliance, placing the seal C between them.

The connector must be screwed so that it remains vertical as shown in the adjacent figure.

2.3.2 Connection with a rubber hose

Installation of the standards-compliant rubber hose must be carried out so that the hose length is no greater than 1.5 metres. Make sure that the hose does not come into contact with moving parts or is squashed. The inside diameter of the hose must be 8 mm for LIQUID GAS and 13 mm for NATURAL GAS. Verify that all the following conditions are met:

• the hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;

• no part of the hose is in contact with the hot walls (max. 50 °C);

• the hose is not under traction or tension and has no tight curves or twists;

• the hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners;

• if the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try and repair it: replace it with a new hose;

• verify that the hose is not beyond its life cycle (serigraphed on the

hose itself).

Connection using rubber hoses complying with the current regulations is only permitted if the hose can be inspected along its entire length.

Tighten securely all the connections, ensuring the connection incorporating the seal is at least 15 Nm and does not exceed 20 Nm.

Instructions for the installer

2.3.3 Connection to liquid gas

Both the pressure regulator and the connection to the cylinder must be standards-compliant. Make the connection to the gas mains using a rubber hose whose specifications comply with the current regulations (verify that the reference standard is stamped on the hose).

After having installed the connector as indicated in “2.4.1 Connector installation”, fit the small hose connector E to the large hose connector D. Place the seal F between the lock just obtained and the previously installed connector. Then, push the rubber hose onto the hose connector E and secure it with a clamp that is compliant with the current standard.

2.3.4 Connection to natural gas

After having installed the connector as indicated in “2.4.1 Connector installation”,

Fit the large hose connector D by placing the seal F between the previously installed connector.

Push the rubber hose D onto the hose connector A and secure it with the clamp E that is compliant with the current standard.

2.3.5 Connection with a flexible steel hose (for all types of gas)

This type of connection can be made on both built-in and freestanding appliances. Only use standards-compliant steel hoses whose length is not greater than 2 metres. After having installed the connector as indicated in “2.4.1 Connector installation”, screw the end of the flexible hose to the threaded 1/2 external gas connector (ISO 228-1), placing the seal in between.

At the end of the installation, check for any leaks with a soapy solution, never with a flame.

For the connection between the cooker and the gas cylinder use a portion of standards-compliant hose not less than 1.4 m in length.
