The following instructions should be read by a qualified technician
to ensure that the appliance is installed, regulated and technically
serviced correctly in compliance with current regulations.
Important: remember to unplug the appliance from the mains
before regulating the appliance or carrying out any
maintenance work.
Positioning
Important: This unit may be installed and used only in perma-
nently ventilated rooms in accordance with current National Regu-
lations. The following requirements must be observed:
a) The room must be equipped with an exhaust system that
vents the combustion fumes to the outside. It may consist of
a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time
the appliance is turned on.
A Flue or Branched Flue System
(only for cooking appliances)
b) The room must also have a system to permit proper air circulation, needed
for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air needed for combustion
must not be less than 2 m 3 /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 cm
accidentally blocked. For those appliances not equipped with a safety
device for accidental flame loss, the ventilation apertures must be in-
creased by 100%, with the minimum being 200cm
can also provide the air needed for combustion by indirect means, i.e. from
adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. How-
ever, these rooms must not be common rooms or bedrooms. (Fig. B).

c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may result in
the need for supplemental air circulation, e.g. opening win-
dows or increasing mechanical venting (if present).
d) Liquified petroleum gas is heavier than the air and, therefore,
settles downwards. Thus, rooms containing LPG cylinders
must also be equipped with apertures to the outside for ven-
tilation of gas in the case of leaks. LPG cylinders must not,
therefore, be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas
that are below ground level (cellars, etc.) whether they are
partially or completely full. It is a good idea to keep only the
cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not

subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fire-
places, stoves, etc. ) which are able to increase the tempera-
ture of the cylinder above 50°C.
Levelling Your Appliance (only on certain models)
4 support feet which are adjusted using screws are located
in the lower part of the cooker. These level off the oven
when necessary. It is essential that the cooker be standing
level.
Mounting the legs (only on certain models)
Press-fit legs are supplied which fit under the base of your
cooker.
Installation of the cooker
The appliance can be installed next to cabinets, provided the
height does not exceed that of the hob. If the cooker is placed
touching walls or sides of neighbouring cabinets, these must be
capable of withstanding a temperature rise of 50°C above room
temperature. For a correct installation of the cooker the following
precautions must be followed:
a) The cooker may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or
bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
b) The furniture units next to the cooker, that is higher than the
working boards, must be placed at least 600 mm from the
edge of the board. Curtains must not be fitted immediately
behind the cooker or within 110 mm. of the sides of the cooker.
c) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements
in the hood handbook.
d) Wall cabinets may be fitted in line with the sides of the base
units, providing that the lower edge of the wall cabinet is a
minimum of 420 mm. above the worktop. The minimum
distance combustible material kitchen units can be fitted
directly above the worktop is 700 mm (Fig. C and D).
