Instructions for the installation technician
CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms with
permanent ventilation to local standards.
Installation of the appliance and its connection to the electrical mains must
only be carried out by QUALIFIED PERSONEL.
Before any procedure, it is important to check that the appliance is
DISCONNECTED from the electrical mains. The Manufacturer declines all
responsibility for any damage arising from installation in breach of the
regulations in force or from failure to comply with the accident prevention
regulations.
Installation premises
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for the combustion of the
gas must be able to flow into the room naturally. The air must flow into the room
directly through openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an
unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m3/hfor each kw of power (see total power
in kw on the appliance nameplate).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be
obstructed from inside or outside, or constructed close to
the floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side
opposite to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it
is not feasible to provide these openings in the room where
the appliance is installed, the necessary air may be taken
from an adjacent room, provided that:
·this room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
·this room has ventilation;
·the ventilation between the room where the appliance is
installed and the adjacent room has openings.
·minimum height from pan support to kitchen cabinet
board is 850mm.
Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases
through hoods connected directly to flues or the outdoors.
If it is not possible to install the hood (fig. B) an electric
