the hob. The minimum distance between the worktop and kitchen units made of combustible material is 700 mm.

e)The wall in direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be made of non-flammable materials.

Connecting the gas

The appliance should be connected to the mains or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current directives. Before making the connection, check that the cooker is regulated for the gas supply you are using. If not, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas”. On some models the gas supply can be connected on the left or on the right, as necessary; to change the connection, reverse the position of the hose holder with that of the cap and replace replace the gasket (supplied with the appliance). When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator which complies with current directive.

Important: check that the supply pressure complies with the values indicated in table 1 “Characteristics of the burners and nozzles” since this will ensure safe operation, correct consumption and ensure a longer life to your appliance.

Connection with hose

Make the connection using a gas hose complying with the the characteristics provided in current directive. The internal diameter of the pipe used is as follows:

-8mm for liquid gas;

-13mm for methane gas.

When installing the hose, remember to take the following precautions:

•No part of the hose should touch parts whose tempe- rature exceeds 50°C;

•The length of the hose should be less than 1500 mm;

•The hose should not be subject to twisting or pulling, and should not have bends or kinks.

•The hose should not touch objects with sharp edges, any moving parts, and it should not be crushed;

•The full length of the hose should be easy to inspect in order to check its condition;

Check that the hose fits firmly into place at the two ends and fix it with clamps complying to current directive.If any of the above recommendations can not be adopted, flexible metal pipes should be used.

Should the cooker be installed according to the conditions of Class 2, subdivision 1, only a flexible metal pipe which is in compliance with current safety standards should be used to make the connection to the gas mains.

Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment

Remove the hose holder fitted on the appliance. The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. Only pipes and gaskets complying with current directives.The full length of the pipe must not exceed 2000 mm.

Tight control

Important: when installation has been completed, check the pipe fitting for leaks with a soapy solution. Never use a flame. Once the connection has been made, ensure that the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts and is not crushed.

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a normalised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate. When connecting the cable directly to the mains, install an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains. The omnipolar circuit breaker should be sized according to the load and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker).

The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 50°C with respect to the room temperature, along its length. Before making the connection, check that:

•the limiter valve and the home system can support the appliance load (see data plate);

•the mains is properly earthed in compliance with current directives and regulations;

•there is easy access to the socket and omnipolar circuit breaker, once the hob has been installed.

N.B: never use reducers, adaptors or shunts since they can cause heating or burning.

Adapting the cooker to different types of gas

In order to adapt the cooker to a different type of gas with respect to the gas for which it was produced (indicated on the label attached to the lid), follow these steps:

a)replace the hose holder mounted on the appliance with that supplied in the bag of “cooker accessories”.

Important: the hose holder for liquid gas is marked 8, the hose holder for methane gas is marked 13. Always fit the sealing gasket.

b)Replacing the burner nozzles on the hob:

•remove the grids and slide the burners from their housings;

•unscrew the nozzles using a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace them with nozzles for the new type of gas (see table 1 “Burner and nozzle characteristics”).

•replace all the components by repeating the steps in reverse order.
