! Before placing your new appliance into operation please
read these operating instructions carefully. It contains
important information concerning the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept with the
appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional
in accordance with the instructions provided.
! Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected from
the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-
ventilated rooms, according to current national legislation.
The room in which the appliance is installed must be
ventilated adequately in order to provide as much air as is
needed by the normal gas combustion process (the flow of
air must not be lower than 2 m
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct
with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm
be positioned so that they are not liable to even partial
obstruction (see figure A).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a minimum of
200 cm
- whenever the surface of the hob is not equipped with
2
a flame failure safety device. When the flow of air is provided in
an indirect manner from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided
that these are not communal parts of a building, areas with
increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted
with a ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

! After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to open
a window or increase the speed of any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
The efficient disposal of combustion fumes should be
guaranteed using a hood which is connected to a safe
and efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric
fan which begins to operate automatically every time the
appliance is switched on (see figure).

Directly to
the Outside
! The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air and
collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing LPG
cylinders must have openings leading outside so that any
leaked gas can escape easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or completely full,
must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas which
are below ground level (cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being
used should be stored in the room; this should also be kept well
away from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) which
may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
! The appliance may be installed alongside any cupboards
whose height does not exceed that of the hob surface.
! Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of the appliance
is made from a non-flammable, heat-resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, the dining room or the studio flat
(not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards, the
appliance must be installed at least 500 mm away from
them.
• I f t h e c o o k e r i s i n s t a l l e d

mm between this cabinet and the
top of the hob.
This distance should be increased
to 700 mm if the wall cabinets are
flammable (see figure).
• Do not position blinds behind the cooker or less than 200
mm away from its sides.
• Any hoods must be installed in accordance with the
instructions listed in the relevant operating manual.
Levelling
If it is necessary to level the
appliance, screw the adjustable
feet into the places provided on
each corner of the base of the
cooker (see figure).
Electrical connection
Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated
on the appliance data plate (see Technical data table).
The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using
an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3
mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The
switch must be suitable for the charge indicated and must
comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire
must not be interrupted by the switch). The supply cable
must be positioned so that it does not come into contact
with temperatures higher than 50°C at any point.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make
sure that:
