Positioning your appliance
Important: this appliance may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current directives. The following precautions should be taken:
a)The room must be provided with an external exhaust system obtained with a hood or with an electric ventilator that goes on automatically each time the unit is switched on.
In the case of chimneys or flues | Directly to the |
with branches (for cookers) | exterior |
b)The room must be provided with a system for air inflow which is necessary for a regular combustion. The air flow necessary for the combustion should be at least 2 m3/h for kW of installed power. The system may be realized by drawing the air directly from outside the building through a pipe that has at least a 100 cm2 useable section and which must not be accidently obstructed (Fig. A). And further it may be realized indirectly from other adjacent rooms which are provided with a ventilation pipe for the expulsion of the fumes to the outside of the building as foresaid, and which must not be part of the building in common use or rooms with risk of fire, or bedrooms (Fig. B).

c)During prolonged use of the appliance you may consider it necessary to open a window to the outside to improve ventilation.
d)The liquefied petroleum gases, which are heavier than air, stagnate towards the ground.Therefore, the rooms containing LPG cans must have openings towards the outside in order to allow the venting from the ground of eventual gas leak. Thus, the LPG cans must not be installed or settled in rooms that are below the ground level, (cellar, etc.) whether the cans are empty or
partially full. It is advisable to keep in the room only the can which is being used, and it must be placed away from direct heat sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.) that could make the can reach temperatures higher than 50°C.
Levelling your appliance (only on a few models)
Your cooker is supplied with feet for levelling the appliance. If necessary, these feet can be screwed into the housings in the corners of the cooker base.
