 Keep pac aging material out of the reach of children. It
can become a cho ing or suffocation hazard (see
Precautions and tips).
 The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional
according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation
may cause harm to people and animals or may damage
property.
 This unit may be installed and used only in permanently
ventilated rooms in accordance with British Standard Codes
Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891
Current Editions. The following requirements must be
observed:
 The room must be equipped with an air extraction system
that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a
hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time
the appliance is switched on.
 The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is
needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air
must not be less than 2 m3/h per W of installed power.
The air circulation system may
ta e 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
bloc ages.
The system can also provide the
air needed for combustion
indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms
fitted with air circulation tubes as
described above. However, these
rooms must not be communal
rooms, bedrooms or rooms that
may present a fire hazard.
 Liquid petroleum gas sin s to the floor 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 lea . 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 eep only the
cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is
not subject to heat produced by external sources
(ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the
temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
Fitting the appliance
Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X
degree protection against overheating. The following
precautions must be ta en when installing the hob:
 Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller
than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from

cooling ventilation system.
Electrical connection
The coo tops fitted with a tripolar electrical supply
cord are designed to be be used with alternating
current according to the indications on the rating
plate located under the coo top. The earthing wire
can be identified by its yellow-green colour.
In the case of installation over a built-in electric
oven, the electrical connections for the coo top and
oven should be independent, not only for safety
purposes, but also to facilitate removal of one or
both in the future.
Electrical Connection for Gas Cooktop
Fit the supply cord with a standard plug for the
demand rate indicated on the rating plate or connect
it directly to the electrical mains. In the latter case, a
single pole switch must be placed between the
appliance and the mains, with a minimum opening
between the contacts of 3 mm in compliance with
current safety codes (the earthing wire must not be
interrupted by the switch). The power supply cord
must be positioned so that it does not reach a
temperature in excess of 50°C above room
temperature at any point.
 The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been made and that it is compliant
with safety regulations.
Before ma ing the actual connection, ma e sure
that:
 The fuse and electrical system can withstand the
load required by the appliance;
 That the electrical supply system is equiped with
an efficient earth hoo -up according to the norms
and regulations prescribed by law;
 That the plug or switch is easily accessible.
 The wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the coloured mar ings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to the terminal
mar ed E or or coloured Green or Green &

cylindrical male attachment.
These pipes must be installed so that they are never
longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once
connection has been carried out, ma e sure that the
flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and
is not compressed.
 Only use pipes and seals that comply with current
national regulations.
Checking the tightness of the connection
 When the installation process is complete, chec the
pipe fittings for lea s using a soapy solution. Never use a
flame.
Adapting to different types of gas
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas other than
default type (indicated on the rating plate at the base of
the hob or on the pac aging), the burner nozzles should
be replaced as follows:
1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off their
seats.
2. Unscrew the nozzles using a
7 mm soc et spanner, and
replace them with nozzles for the
new type of gas (see table 1
