specified by regulations in effect.
The appliances installed in buildings open to the public must satisfy the following requirements.

Installation rules

The installation and maintenance of the appliance must be done according to the correct procedures and regulation
texts in use, particularly:
• safety standards for the prevention of fire and panic.
Connection and installation of appliance, ventilation and exhaust removal systems, shall be done according to the
Manufacturer's instructions and by qualified technicians and according to the regulations in effect. The electric wiring
shall conform to the regulations in effect. All fire prevention codes shall be observed.
a) General indications (Rules valid for GB only)
- For all appliances:
Gas safety Regulations, 1984; Health and safety at Work Act, 1974 Codes of Practice, BS 8173, 1982, The Building
Regulations 1985; The Building Standards Regulations, 1981, the IEE Regulations and the by-laws of the local Water
Undertaking.
The local gas Region or LPG supplier and the local authority and the relevant recommendation of the British Standards
(latest editions) concerned.
The installation, transformation and repair of appliances for professional kitchens as well as removal due to
malfunction,
and the supply of gas, may be made only by means of a maintenance contract stipulated with an authorised sales office
and in observance of technical regulations.
The appliance can be installed by itself or in a series side by side with appliances produced by us. There must be a
minimum distance of at least 10 cm between the appliance and the sides of the nearby cabinets made of inflammable
material. Take suitable measures to guarantee thermal insulation of the inflammable sides, such as, for example, the
installation of protection against radiation. The appliances must be installed in a suitable manner, observing the safety
standards. The small feet are adjustable to level the appliance.
The gas connection must be effected with steel or copper pipes, or otherwise with flexible steel pipes in compliance
with the national norms, if any exist. Each appliance must be provided with a cut off cock for rapid interruption of the
gas supply. Once the appliance has been installed, it is necessary to check for gas leaks for the pipe fittings; do not use a
flame for this purpose but a non-corrosive substance such as soapy water or phoamy substances as contained in leak-
finder sprays. All our appliances undergo careful testing: the type of gas, the operating pressure and the category are
indicated on the data plate.
The appliances must be checked in such a way as to verify that the heat output is correct:
• The heat output (thermal power) is indicated on the data plate of the appliance.
• Firstly, check that the appliance can be used with the type of gas supplied; then check that the indication on the
plate corresponds to the gas to be used. For converting to another type of gas, check that the type of gas complies
with what is stated in this instruction manual.
The pressure must be read by inserting a gauge for liquids (e.g. a U gauge). With a minimum definition of 0,1 mbar,
into the relative pressure outlet (see fig. B position C).
Remove the screw from the airtight pressure outlet, connect the rubber pipe of the U gauge and read the pressure.
After reading, remove the flexible pipe of the gauge, put back the screw, tighten hermetically and check the pressure
tightness.
Connection for liquid gas G30/G31
The connection pressure for liquid gas is 30 mbar with butane and 37 mbar with propane.
Check the plate, read the pressure and verify that the description of the nozzle installed correponds to the one supplied
by the manufacturer.

Connection with methane gas H G20

The connection pressure for methane gas is 20 mbar.
Check the plate, read the pressure and verify that the description of the nozzle installed correponds to the one supplied
by the manufacturer.
