height of around 1 cm (0.40 in). The probe must protrude not more than 1 cm from the oven floor.
Once placed the probe into the oven , connecting the copper tube “B” that comes from the unit control to the
tube “C” under the oven.
7.2 Burner
Before installing the burner , check the correct position of the electrode of the burner by following the below
procedure :
photo 1 photo 2
Check that the burner electrode discharge the spark onto the edge of the “A” circumference of one of the
holes of the external series of the flame breaker. (photo 1)
The tip of electrode “B” must be at a distance of 3 mm (0.12 in) from the surface of flame arrestor “A”. (photo

www.stefanoferraraforni.it
Insert the burner in the hole under the oven making sure the holes of the fixing flange (“A” photo 3) coincide
with the existing pivots on the sides of the burner hole (“B” photo 3)
To screw the nuts (hexagonal nut 13 mm – “C” photo 3 ) until to fix strongly the burner
photo 3

support stand of the oven
photo 4
Connect the burner to the control panel inserting the connectors A and B into the sockets placed on the
bottom of support plate of the control equipment (photo 5 next page)

20
www.stefanoferraraforni.it
photo 5
Connect the gas to the gas inlet Ø1/2” of the burner (point C – photo 5) and the blue plug ( C photo 4) to a
CEI 220V. 16A. 50HZ. electrical socket.
When requested a transformer is provided for allowing the working of the burner with different voltage than
220 V . In this case the electrical cable isn’t provided of any blue plug (C photo 4) and it will be need
connect to the cable an appropriate plug can be inserted in the existing socket on the place of installing oven
Take care to not exchange phase - neutral connection
Electrical lines must be placed sufficiently spaced from the hot parts of the oven
INSTALLATION ROOM VENTILATION:
The room where the oven is installed must be equipped with a suitable air intake that cannot be closed or
tampered with ( windows and doors cannot be considered suitable air intakes).
Direct air intake:
- rectangular opening: 200 mm x 200 mm (8 in x 8 in)
- round opening: Ø 250 mm (10 in)
If there is an extractor hood in the room, you need to increase the air intake by considering the air amount
extracted from the hood (according to its label) and considering that the burner requires 30-40 m ³ of air per
hour during operation (17.66- 23.50 ft
3
/min) . If the air intake is too little, pressure variations are generated
and the burner may not work properly.
DRAUGHTS
The room must not have draughts that can cause malfunctions, such as an irregular flame or burner switch-
off: in the presence of draughts, that cannot be eliminated ( e.g. oven installed in a room with 2 windows
opposite each other) the base of the oven must be closed on three sides (right, left and back and the front
must remain open) so that the burner is protected from draughts without being isolated from the room where
it draws the air.
If the oven rests on a closed base, you need to create a minimum opening of 500 mm x 500 mm (20 in x 20
in) under the oven opening to ensure the correct amount of air reaches the burner.
