USE

Notes:
Use of a gas cooking appliance produces heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. The
room must therefore be well ventilated by keeping the natural air vents clear (fig. 3) and by activating
the mechanical aeration device (suction hood or electric fan fig. 4 and fig. 5).
Intensive and lengthy use of the appliance may require additional ventilation. This can be achieved by
opening a window or by increasing the power of the mechanical exhausting system if installed.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION

SPECIFICATIONS

The installer should note that the appliance that
side walls should be no higher than the hot
plate itself. Furthermore, the rear wall, the
surfaces surrounding and adjacent to the
appliance must be able to withstand an
overtemperature of 65 K.
The adhesive used to stick the plastic laminate

to the cabinet must be able to withstand a
temperature of not less than 150° C otherwise
the laminate could come unstuck.
The appliance must be installed in compliance
with the provisions in force.
This appliance is not connected to a device able
to dispose of the combustion fumes. It must
therefore be connected in compliance with the
above mentioned installation standards.
Particular care should be paid to the following
provisions governing ventilation and aeration.

6) ROOM VENTILATION

It is essential to ensure that the room in which the
appliance is installed is permanently ventilated in
order to allow the appliance itself to operate
correctly. The necessary amount of air is that
required for regular gas combustion and ventilation
of the relative room, the volume of which must not
be less than 20 m3. Air must naturally flow through
permanent openings in the walls of the room in
question. These openings must vent the fumes
outdoors and their section must be at least 100 cm

2

(see fig. 3). Construction of the openings must
ensure that the openings themselves may never be
blocked. Indirect ventilation by air drawn from an
adjacent room is also permitted, in strict
compliance with the provisions in force.

7) LOCATION AND AERATION

Gas cooking appliances must always dispose of
their combustion fumes through hoods. These
must be connected to flues, chimneys or straight
outside. If it is not possible to install a hood, an
electric fan can be installed on a window or on a
wall facing outside (see fig. 4). This must be
activated at the same time as the appliance (see
fig. 5), so long as the specifications in the
provisions in force are strictly complied with.
