Instruction for Use

The following instructions are intended for the installer so
that the installation and maintenance procedures may be
followed in the most professional and expert manner
possible. Important: Disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply before performing any maintenance
or regulation upkeep work.
Positioning the Cooktop
Important: this unit may be installed and used only in
permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with British
Standard Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par.
2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:
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.
In a chimney stack or branched flue. Directly to the Outside
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
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 200 cm² (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) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may ne-
cessitate supplemental ventilation, e.g. opening a
window or increasing the power of the air intake system
(if present).
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 Cooktops
The gas cooktops are equipped with type X degree
protection against overheating. Therefore, the appliance
can be installed next to cabinets, provided the height of
the cabinet does not exceed that of the hob. For proper
installation of the cooktop, the following guidlines must be
followed:
a) If the cabinet(s) located next to the cooktop are higher
than the cooktop itself, the cabinet(s) must be installed
at least 600 mm from the edge cooktop;
b) Hoods must be installed in accordance with the
instructions contained in the installation manual for the
hoods themselves, and no less than 650 mm from the
cooktop;
c) The cabinets installed next to the hood must be located
at a height of at least 420 mm from the top.
d) Should the cooktop be installed directly under a
cupboard, the latter should be at least 700 mm
(millimetres) from the top.

Gas Connection for Cooktop
The cooktop should be connected to the gas supply by an
authorized 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 tanks must be carried out
according to the safety standards currently in force, and
only after it is ascertained that it is suitable for the type of
gas to be used. If not, follow the instructions indicated in
the section entitled, “Adapting the Cooktop for Different
Types of Gas”. If the cooktop is to be connected to tanks
containing liquid gas, use pressure regulators that comply
