Installation

The following instructions are intended for the installer so that the installation and maintenance procedures may be followed in the most professional and expert manner possible. Important:

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before performinganymaintenanceorrepair.

Positioning the Hob

Important: 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:

a)The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which vents smoke and gases from combustion to the outside.This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator that turns on automatically each time the hob is operated.

In a chimney stack or branched flue. Directly to the Outside

(exclusively for cooking appliances)

b)Theroommusthaveanairflowtoallowforpropercombustion. Thismustbe2m3³/hperkWofinstalledpower.Theairflowcan be created using an enclosed vent with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm² which must not be able to be blocked. I the appliance does not have a flame failure device, the vent must haveaninternalcrosssectionof200cm3³(Fig. A). Alternatively the room in which the hob is situated can be vented indirectly through ventilation ducts as specified above, as long as the adjacent room is not a shared area, a bedroom or present any

Installation of Built-in Hobs

The gas hob is equipped with type X degree protection against overheating. Therefore, the appliance can be installed next to cabinets,providedtheheightofthecabinetdoesnotexceedthatof the hob. For proper installation of the hob, the following guidlines must be followed:

a)If the cabinet(s) located next to the hob are higher than the hob itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed at least 110 mm from the hob edge.

b)Hoods must be installed in accordance with the instructions contained in the installation manual for the hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm from the hob.

c)In the case of the 600 mm cooker hoods, besides following the recommendations in point b), the cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 540 mm from the top since this will make it possible to install the lid and move it correctly.The cabinet should always be installed at a height from the top which allows easy use of pots and pans on the cooker.
