Instructions for the Installer

2.1 Electrical connection

Check that the voltage and size of the power supply line are as specified on the nameplate inside the storage compartment.

This nameplate must never be removed.

If a permanent connection to the electrical mains is used, the appliance's power supply line must be fitted with an omnipolar breaking device with contact breaking gap of at least 3 mm located in an easily accessible position close to the appliance itself.

The mains connection may be permanent or by means of a plug and socket. If a plug and socket connection is used, suitable cable compliant with the relevant standards must be used. For each type of connection, the appliance must always be connected to earth. Before connecting it, check that the power supply line is properly earthed. The use of reductions, adapters or junctions is not recommended.

If the power supply cable has to be replaced, the gauge of the wires in the new cable must be at least 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable), bearing in mind that the earth wire (yellow-green) must be at least 20 mm longer at the end for connection to the appliance. For models with electric plates, the cable must have cross-section of at least 2.5 mm2 (3 x 2.5 cable). The cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician, who must make the mains connection as shown on the right.

2.2 Room ventilation

The appliance may only be installed in a permanently ventilated room as specified by the relevant regulations. The air flow into the room where the appliance is installed must be sufficient for proper gas combustion and room ventilation. The air intakes, protected by gratings, must be of suitable size (see relevant regulations) and located so that they cannot be even partially obstructed.

The kitchen must be kept properly ventilated to disperse the heat and humidity produced by cooking processes: in particular, a window should be opened or the speed of any fans increased after prolonged use.

2.3 Combustion gas discharge

Combustion gases must be discharged by means of hoods connected to a flue with reliable natural draught, or a fan extraction system. An effective extraction system requires careful design by an authorised specialist, and must comply with the regulation distances and positions. After installation, the engineer must issue a certificate of compliance.
