17

GB

!

 Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains

important information concerning the safe installation

and operation of the appliance.

!

 Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept

with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.

!

 The appliance must be installed by a qualified

professional according to the instructions provided.

!

 Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be

performed after the cooker has been disconnected

from the electricity supply.

Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in permanently-

ventilated rooms, according to current national

legislation. The room in which the appliance is

installed must be ventilated adequately so as to

provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas

combustion process (the flow of air must not be

lower than 2 m

3

/h per kW of installed power).

The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a

duct with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm

2

and should be positioned so that they are not liable

to even partial obstruction (

see figure A

).

These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a

minimum of 200 cm

2

 - whenever the surface of the

hob is not equipped with a flame failure safety

device. When the flow of air is provided in an

indirect manner from adjacent rooms (

see figure B

),

provided that these are not communal parts of a

building, areas with increased fire hazards or

bedrooms, the inlets should be fitted with a

ventilation duct leading outside as described above.

!

 After prolonged use of the appliance, it is

advisable to open a window or increase the speed of

any fans used.

Disposing of combustion fumes

The disposal of combustion fumes should be

guaranteed using a hood connected to a safe and

efficient natural suction chimney, or using an electric

fan that begins to operate automatically every time

the appliance is switched on (

see figure

).

!

 The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air

and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms

containing LPG cylinders must have openings

leading outside so that any leaked gas can escape

easily.

LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or

completely full, must not be installed or stored in

rooms or storage areas that are below ground level

(cellars, etc.). Only the

cylinder being used should be stored in the room;

this should also be kept well away from sources

of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that may cause

the temperature of the cylinder to rise above 50°C.

Positioning and levelling

!

 It is possible to install the appliance alongside

cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the

hob surface.

!

 Make sure that the wall in contact with the back of

the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-

resistant material (T 90°C).

To install the appliance correctly:

• Place it in the kitchen, dining room or the bed-sit

(not in the bathroom).

• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,

the appliance must be installed at least 200 mm

away from them.

• If the cooker is installed underneath a wall cabinet,

there must be a minimum distance of 420 mm

between this cabinet and the top of the hob.

This distance should be increased to 700 mm if

the wall cabinets are flammable (

see figure

).

• Do not position

blinds behind the

cooker or less than 200

mm away from its

sides.

• Any hoods must be

installed according to

the instructions listed in

the relevant operating

manual.

Levelling

If it is necessary to level the

appliance, screw the

adjustable feet into the places

provided on each corner of the

base of the cooker (

see

figure

).

The legs* fit into the slots on

the underside of the base of

the cooker.

Electrical connection

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the

load indicated on the appliance data plate (

see

Technical data table

).

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains

using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum

contact opening of 3 mm installed between the

appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be

suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with

NFC 15-100 regulations (the earthing wire must not be

interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable

must be positioned so that it does not come into

contact with temperatures higher than 50°C at any point.

Before connecting the appliance to the power

supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant

with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of

the appliance, which is indicated by the data plate.

• The voltage is in the range between the values

indicated on the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the

appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the

plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it.

Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

The cable must be checked regularly and replaced

by authorised technicians only.

!

The manufacturer declines any liability should

these safety measures not be observed.

Gas connection

Connection to the gas network or to the gas cylinder

may be carried out using a flexible rubber or steel

hose, in accordance with current national legislation

and after making sure that the appliance is suited to

the type of gas with which it will be supplied (see the

rating sticker on the cover:  if this is not the case 

see

below

). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a

pressure regulator which complies with current national

regulations. To make connection easier, the gas

supply may be turned sideways*: reverse the position

of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace the

gasket that is supplied with the appliance.

!

 Check that the pressure of the gas supply is

consistent with the values indicated in the Table of

burner and nozzle specifications (

see below

). This

will ensure the safe operation and durability of your

appliance while maintaining efficient energy

consumption.

Gas connection using a flexible rubber hose

Make sure that the hose complies with current

national legislation. The internal diameter of the hose

must measure: 8 mm for liquid gas supply; 13 mm

for methane gas supply.

Once the connection has been performed, make

sure that the hose:

• Does not come into contact with any parts that

reach temperatures of over 50°C.

• Is not subject to any pulling or twisting forces and

that it is not kinked or bent.

• Does not come into contact with blades, sharp

corners or moving parts and that it is not

compressed.

• Is easy to inspect along its whole length so that

its condition may be checked.

• Is shorter than 1500 mm.

• Fits firmly into place at both ends, where it will be

fixed using clamps that comply with current

regulations.

GB

!

 If one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled or

if the cooker must be installed according to the

conditions listed for class 2 - subclass 1 appliances

(installed between two cupboards), the flexible steel

hose must be used instead (

see below

).

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe

to a threaded attachment

Make sure that the hose and gaskets comply with

current national legislation.

To begin using the hose, remove the hose holder on the

appliance (the gas supply inlet on the appliance is a

cylindrical threaded 1/2 gas male attachment).

!

 Perform the connection in such a way that the hose

length does not exceed a maximum of 2 metres,

making sure that the hose is not compressed and

does not come into contact with moving parts.

Checking the connection for leaks

 When the installation process is complete, check

the hose fittings for leaks using a soapy solution.

Never use a flame.

Adapting to different types of gas

It is possible to adapt the appliance to a type of gas

other than the default type (this is indicated on the

rating label on the cover).

Adapting the hob

Replacing the nozzles for the hob burners:

1. Remove the hob grids and slide the burners off

their seats.

2. Unscrew the nozzles using a

7 mm socket spanner (

see

figure

), and replace them with

nozzles suited to the new type

of gas(

see Burner and nozzle

specifications table

).

3. Replace all the components

by following the above

instructions in reverse.

Adjusting the hob burners’ minimum setting:

1. Turn the tap to the minimum position.

2. Remove the knob and adjust the regulatory

screw, which is positioned inside or next to the tap

pin, until the flame is small but steady.

!

 If the appliance is connected to a liquid gas

supply, the regulatory screw must be fastened as

tightly as possible.

3. While the burner is alight, quickly change the position

of the knob from minimum to maximum and vice versa

several times, checking that the flame is not

extinguished.

!

 The hob burners do not require primary air adjustment.
