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 over temperature 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
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 m
. 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
2
cm
(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
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.
8) GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance, check that the
values on the data label affixed to the underside
of the hot plate correspond to those of the gas
and electricity mains in the home.
A label on the appliance indicates the regulating
conditions: type of gas and working pressure.
Gas connection must comply with the pertinent
standards and provisions in force.

When gas is supplied through ducts, the appliance
must be connected to the gas supply system:
o with a rigid steel pipe. The joints of this pipe
must consist of threaded fittings conforming to
the standards.
o With copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards.
When the gas is supplied by a bottle, the
appliance must be fuelled by a pressure governor
conforming to the provisions in force and must be
connected:
o with a copper pipe. The joints of this pipe must
consist of unions with mechanical seals.
o With seamless flexible stainless steel pipe. The
length of this pipe must be 2 meters at most and
the seals must comply with the standards. It is
advisable to apply the special adapter to the
flexible pipe. This is easily available from the
shops and facilitates connection with the hose
nipple of the pressure governor on the bottle.
o With rubber hose pipe in compliance with
standards. The diameter of this hose pipe must
be 8 mm and its length must be no less than 400
mm and no more than 1500 mm. It must be
firmly fixed to the hose nipple by means of the
safety clamp specified by standards.
WARNINGS:
Remember that the gas inlet union on the
appliance is a 1/2" gas parallel male type in
compliance
strict
Installation of stainless steel pipe and rubber
hose pipe must ensure that it is never able to
touch mobile parts of the built-in cabinet (eg.
drawers).
Furthermore,
through compartments that could be used for
storage purposes.
When using a rubber hose pipe, it is essential
to comply with the following instructions:
- no part of the pipe must be able to touch
parts the temperature of which exceeds 65 K.
- The pipe must not be pulled or twisted,
throttled or tughtly bent.
- It must not come into contact with sharp
edges or corners.
- It must be easy to inspect the entire pipe
length in order to check its state of wear.
- The pipe must be replaced within the date
stamped on the pipe itself.
