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.

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.

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.

8

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.

10

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.
