Installation
GB
! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet
carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care
of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on
to possible new owners of the appliance.
Positioning
! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking
or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).
! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the
instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and
animals or may damage property.
! This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms
in accordance with current national regulations. The following requirements
must be observed:
• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels
any combustion fumes. This may consist of a hood or an electric fan that
automatically starts each time the appliance is switched on.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
• The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for
combustion to occur normally. The flow of air must not be less than 2 m
per kW of installed power.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier than air. Therefore,
rooms containing LPG cylinders must also be equipped with vents to allow
gas to escape in the event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether
partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or
storage areas that are below ground level (cellars, etc.). It is advisable to
keep only the cylinder being used in the room, positioned so that it is not
subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens, fireplaces, stoves,
etc. ) which could raise the temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Directly to
the Outside
The air circulation system may take air directly
from the outside by means of a pipe with an
inner cross section of at least 100 cm
opening must not be vulnerable to any type
of blockages.
The system can also provide the air needed
for combustion indirectly, i.e. from adjacent
rooms fitted with air circulation tubes as
described above. However, these rooms must
not be communal rooms, bedrooms or rooms
that may present a fire hazard.
Fitting the appliance
The following precautions must be taken when installing the hob:
• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the

• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction
manuals and at a minimum distance of 650 mm from the hob (see figure).

600mm min.
Before the installation remove the grids and burners from the hob and turn it
upside down, making sure you don't damage the thermocouples and spark
plugs.
• The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure.
Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that
are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened
to the top, we recommend you use all the hooks provided.
