Positioning
Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.
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:
• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time
also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.
Fitting the appliance
Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree protection against overheating. The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:
•Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the edge of the hob.
•Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance of 650 mm from the hob.
•Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 420 mm from the hob (see figure).

•The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air
must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed power. The air circulation system may
take air directly from the outside by means of a pipe with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm2;
the opening must not be vulnerable to any type of blockages.
•The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure. Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we recommend you use all the
hooks provided.

The system can also provide the air needed for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as described above. However, these rooms must not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.
