Sealing the Cooktop
The cooktop has a special seal which prevents liquid from infiltrating into the cabinet. Strictly
comply with the following instructions in order to apply this seal correctly:
- Take off all the movable parts of the cooktop.
- Detach the seals from their backing, checking that the transparent protection still adheres to the
seal itself.
- Overturn the cooktop and correctly position seal “E” (fig. 3) under the edge of the cooktop itself,
so that the outer side of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the cooktop. The ends of
the strips must fit together without overlapping.
- Evenly and securely fix the seal to the cooktop, pressing into place with the fingers and remove
the strip of protective transparent film from the seal and set the plate into the opening made in
the cabinet.
- Fix the cooktop with the proper brackets “S” and fit the prominent part into the porthole “H” on the
bottom; turn the screw “F” until the bracket “S” touches the top (fig. 4). In fastening the brackets,
do not use a mechanical or electric screwdriver. Instead, use a hand-operated screwdriver and
exert only moderate force.
The adjacent walls (left, right or behind) that exceed the cooktop in height must be at a minimum
distance from the cut hole as indicated in Fig. 1 and the chart on the preceding pages.
In order to avoid accidentally touching the hot cooktop bottom, it is necessary to put a horizontal
wooden insert, attached by screws, at a minimum distance of 2,5" below the lower surface of the
cooktop (see Fig. 1).

Room Ventilation
To ensure proper operation of the appliance, be sure that the room where it is installed has
adequate ventilation.
The appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the
appliance. It may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in
personal injury or unintended operation.
