 Before operating your new appliance please read
this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important
information concerning the safe installation and
operation of the appliance.
 Please keep these operating instructions for future
reference. Make sure that the instructions are kept
with the appliance if it is sold, given away or moved.
 The appliance must be installed by a qualified
professional according to the instructions provided.
 Any necessary adjustment or maintenance must be
performed after the cooker has been disconnected
from the electricity supply.
Room ventilation
The appliance may only be installed in permanently-
ventilated rooms, according to current national
legislation. The room in which the appliance is
installed must be ventilated adequately so as to
provide as much air as is needed by the normal gas
combustion process (the flow of air must not be lower
than 2 m 3 /h per kW of installed power).
The air inlets, protected by grilles, should have a duct
with an inner cross section of at least 100 cm 2 and
should be positioned so that they are not liable to
even partial obstruction (see figure A).
These inlets should be enlarged by 100% - with a
minimum of 200 cm 2 - whenever the surface of the hob
is not equipped with a flame failure safety device.
When the flow of air is provided in an indirect manner
from adjacent rooms (see figure B), provided that
these are not communal parts of a building, areas with
increased fire hazards or bedrooms, the inlets should
be fitted with a ventilation duct leading outside as
described above.
 After prolonged use of the appliance, it is advisable to
open a window or increase the speed of any fans used.
Disposing of combustion fumes
Disposing of combustion fumes should be guaranteed
using a hood connected to a safe and efficient natural
suction chimney, or using an electric fan that begins
to operate automatically every time the appliance is
switched on (see figure).
 The liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air
and collect by the floor, therefore all rooms containing
LPG cylinders must have openings leading outside so
that any leaked gas can escape easily.
LPG cylinders, therefore, whether partially or
completely full, must not be installed or stored in
rooms or storage areas that are below ground level
(cellars, etc.). Only the cylinder being used should be
stored in the room; this should also be kept well away
from sources of heat (ovens, chimneys, stoves) that
may cause the temperature of the cylinder to rise
above 50°C.
Positioning and levelling
 It is possible to install the appliance alongside
cupboards whose height does not exceed that of the
hob surface.
 Make sure that the wall in contact with the beck of
the appliance is made from a non-flammable, heat-
resistant material (T 90°C).
To install the appliance correctly:
• Place it in the kitchen, dining room or the bed-sit
(not in the bathroom).
• If the top of the hob is higher than the cupboards,
the appliance must be installed at least 200 mm
away from them.
