INSTALLATION
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 overtemperature 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
installation standards. Particular care should be paid to the following provisions
governing ventilation and aeration.
6) ROOM VENTILATION
It is essential to ensur e that the r oom in which the appl iance 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 l ess than 20 m3. Air must naturally flow through permanent
openings in the w alls of the r oom in question. These openings must vent the fumes
outdoors and thei r section must be at l east 100 cm 2 (see fig. 3). Construction of the
openings must ensure that the openi ngs themselves may never be bl ocked. Indirect
ventilation by air drawn from an adjacent room is also permitted, in strict compliance with
the provisions in force.
CAUTION: if the burners of the cooking top are without safety thermocouple, the
ventilation outlet must have a minimum 200 cm² section.
7) LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas cooking appliances must al ways dispose of their combustion fumes through hoods.
These must be connected to f lues, 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 acti vated at the same ti me as the appl iance (see fig. 5), so long as
the specifications in the provisions in force are strictly complied with.
