After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts etc.) must be stored out of reach of children - risk of suocation. The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation - risk of electrical shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable - risk of re or electrical shock. Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed.
The electrical and gas connections must comply with local regulation.
WARNING : Modication of the appliance and its method of installation are essential in order to use the appliance safely and correctly in all the additional countries.
Use pressure regulators suitable for the gas pressure indicated in the instruction.
The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes.
The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The ow of air must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power.
The air circulation system may take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2; the opening must not be vulnerable to any type of blockages.
The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms tted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a re hazard.
Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the oor as it is heavier than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, replaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
