– use flammable liquids near the appliance;
– use adapters, multi-sockets or extension leads;
– allow anyone except qualified personnel to install or repair the appliance.
Important
– Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the burners, since they may tip over or cause spills.
– If the appliance has a lid, make sure the burners are cold before closing it.
– Close the gas supply cock when the hob is not in use.
– Before installation, make sure the gas supply is compatible with appliance specifications. The type of gas for which
the appliance is arranged is specified on the dataplate on the bottom of the tray. This appliance is not connected
to a fume extraction device and must be installed and connected in compliance with the current regulations.
Pay particular attention to the applicable regulations on ventilation. The use of a gas cooking appliance produces
heat and humidity in the room where it is installed. Ensure the room is adequately ventilated: keep natural ventilation
openings open, or install a mechanical ventilation device (extractor hood with exhaust duct). In case of intensive
or prolonged use of the appliance, it may be necessary to provide additional ventilation, for example by opening a
window, or more efficient ventilation, by increasing the fan speed (if present).
Installation
The necessary operations for installation, including gas and electrical connections, are described below. They must be
carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current regulations, since their performance by unskilled persons
may constitute a hazard.
The manufacturer declines any liability for injury to persons or damage to things due to failure non-compliance with
these provisions. The gas connection must comply with the regulations in force in the country at the time of installation.
Preparing the cabinet
This handbook refers to a class 3 built-in hob.
Prepare the hole in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 2.
In any case, it is essential to make the opening in the most convenient position, bearing in mind that the gas pipe must
not come into contact with the sides of any oven under the hob.
Fitting in the cabinet
After carrying out the connection operations, apply the sealing strip around the hole and position the hob.
Carefully tighten the fixing hooks (fig. 3). Remove any excess sealing strip.
Note
If the appliance is not installed above an oven, a separator baffle must be arranged (fig. 4).
Connection to the gas supply
Connect the appliance to the gas supply in compliance with the current regulations, only after making sure it is arranged
for the type of gas to be used.
Otherwise, carry out the operations described in the section on "replacing
injectors" (page 11). For liquid gas use pressure regulators complying with the
current regulations.
Connection to the gas supply can be made in two ways:
A Connect the gas hob using a 12 mm diameter rigid copper pipe, as shown
in fig. 5. To ensure a good seal, use the elastomer gasket supplied as an
accessory.
B Connect the hob using a continuous-surface flexible steel tube. Also in this
case, to ensure a good seal use the gasket supplied as an accessory.
Make sure to comply with the current regulations on gas systems.
After carrying out the connection use soapy water to check for any leaks.
