Installation
Detail A
Adjacent
Room
Room to be
Vented
The following instructions are directed at the qualified
installer so that the installation and maintenance
proceedures may be followed in the most professional and
expert manner possible.Important:Unplug the electrical
connection before performing any maintenance or
regulation upkeep work.
Positioning for gas hob
A
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Stancards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par.
2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:
Examples of ventilation holes
for comburant air.
Enlarging the ventilation slot
between window and floor.
Fig. A
Fig. B
c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may neces-
sitate supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a window or
increasing the power of the air intake system (if present).
a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which
vents smoke and gases from combustion to the outside.
This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator
that turns on automatically each time the hood is operated.
d) Liquidified petroleum gases are heavier than air and, as a
result, settle downwards. Rooms in which LPG tanks are
installed must be fitted with ventilation openings to the
outside in order to allow the gas to escape in the event of
a leak.Therefore, LPG tanks, whether empty or partially
full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces
below ground level (cellars, ect.). It is also a good idea to
keep only the tank currently being used in the room, making
sure that it is not near sources of heat (ovens, fireplaces,
stoves, etc.) that could raise the internal temperature of
the tank above 50°C.
Installation of built-in stove tops
The appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material. During operation the back
panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of 50°C
above room temperature. For proper installation of the
cooker, the following precautions must be taken:
a) The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitonen/diner or
bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room.
b) The furniture standing next to the unit, that is higher
than the working boards, must be placed at least 600
mm from the edge of the board.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
Directly to the Outside
b) The room must also allow for the influx of the air needed
for proper combustion. The flow of air for combustion
purposes must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed
capacity.The supply of said air can be effected by means
of direct influx from the outside through a duct with a
inner cross section of at least 100 cm² which must not be
able to be accidentally blocked.Those appliances which
are not fitted with a safety device to prevent the flame
from accidentally going out must have a ventilation
opening twice the size otherwise required, i.e. a minimum
of 200cm2 (Fig. A). Otherwise, the room can be vented
indirectly through adjacent rooms fitted with ventilation
ducts to the outside as described above, as long as the
adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms or present
the risk of fire (Fig. B).
c) The cabinets should be positioned next to the hood at
a height of at least 420 mm (Fig. C).
7
g) In the event the hob is not installed above a built-in
oven, a wood panel must be inserted as insulation.This
panel must be placed at least 20 mm from the bottom
of the cooktop itself.
600mm min.
Important: When installing the hob above a built-in oven,
the oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the
case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a
space of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back.
Fig. C
d) Should the hob be installed directly under a cupboard,
the letter should be at least 700mm (millimetres) from
the worktop, as shown in Fig. C.
560 mm.
e) The dimensions of the room for the furniture must be
those indicated in the figures in the last two pages of
the cover.Fixing hooks are provided which allow to place
the hob plate on work tops that measure from 20 to 40
mm in thickness (see Fig.D).To obtain a good fixing of
the hob plate it is advisable to use all the hooks
supplied.
Gas connection for gas hob
The cooker should be connected to the gas-supply by a
corgi registered installer. During installation of this product
it is essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the
supply from the appliance for the convenience of any
subsequent removal or servicing. Connection of the
appliance to the gas mains or liquid gas must be carried
out according to the prescribed regulation in force, and
only after it is ascertained that it is adaptable to the type
of gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated
in the paragraph headed “Adaptation to different gas types”.
In the case of connection to liquid gas, by tank, use
pressure regulators that conform to the regulation in force.
Important: For safety, for the correct regulation of gas
use and long life of the appliance, ensure that the gas
pressure conforms to the indications given in table 1
“Nozzle and burner characteristics”.

Connection to non-flexible tube
(copper or steel)
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way
as to not create any stress points at any part of the
appliance.
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector
and a gasket for the attachment to the gas supply. Should
this connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced
(supplied with the appliance).
