INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

fig.5

The following instructions are provided for qualified installers so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and technical maintenance operations correctly and in compliance with current regulations and standards.

Important: the appliance should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any adjustment, maintenance, etc. is carried out. Maximum caution should be used whenever it is necessary to keep the appliance connected to the electricity supply.

The cookers have the following technical specifications:

Category: II 2H3+ Class: 1

The dimensions of the appliance are given in figure on page 2. For trouble-free operation of appliances installed between housing units, the minimum distances shown in fig.5 should be observed. Adjacent surfaces and the wall at the rear should also be able to withstand a temperature of 65 °C. In the lower part of the cooker there are 4 height adjustable screw-in feet with which it is possible to level the cooker if necessary.

Positioning

This appliance may only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with provisions laid down by current regulations and standards. The following requirements must be observed:

•The appliance must discharge combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (fig.6).

•If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the appliance.

Kitchen ventilation

The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must equal the quantity of air that is required for regular combustion of the gas and for ventilating the same room. Air must be taken in naturally through permanent apertures made in the outside walls of the room or through single or branching collective ventilation ducts in compliance with the standards in force.

The air must be taken directly from the outside, from an area far from sources of pollution.

The ventilation aperture must have the following characteristics (fig.7A):

·total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated on the rating plate);

·it must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;

·it must be protected, e.g. with grills, wire mesh, etc. in such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced;

·it must be situated as near to floor level as possible.

The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as garages, mews, fuel stores, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the standards in force. Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may be made to freely pass through permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (fig.7B).

If an electric fan is used for extracting the combustion products, the ventilation aperture must be increased in relation to its maximum performance. The electric fan should have a sufficient capacity to guarantee an hourly exchange of air equal to 3-5 times the volume of the kitchen.
