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 hobs are prepared with protection degree against excessive heating of type X, the appliance can therefore be installed next to cabinets, provided the height does not exceed that of the hob. For a correct installation of the cooking hob the following precautions must be followed:
a)The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
b)The furniture standing next to the unit, that is higher than the working boards, must be placed at least 110mm from the edge of the board.
c)The cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 420 mm (Fig. C).

d)Should the hob be installed directly under a cupboard, the letter should be at least 700mm (millimetres) from the worktop, as shown in Fig. C.
e)The dimensions of the room for the furniture must be those indicated in the figures in the last two pages of the cover. Fixing hooks are provided which allow to place the hob plate on work tops that measure from 20 to 40 mm in thickness (see Fig. D). To obtain a good fixing of the hob plate it is advisable to use all the hooks supplied.
