All-gas appliances can be installed as “Class 3” (fitted) in compliance with gas Standards only.
Any side walls (one only left or right) that overcome in height the worktop, have to be 50 mm far at least.
The adhesive used to join the laminated plastic to the piece of furniture must be able to with- stand a temperature of at least 150°C, so the laminated plastic will not come unstuck.
The installation of all-gas appliances must comply with the National Rules in force.
This appliance is not connected to a flue for the discharge of the combustion products; therefore, it must be connected in compliance with the above-mentioned installation rules. Particular atten- tion must be paid to the instructions given below for ventilation and aeration

INSTALLATION OF VENTILATING THE ROOMS

The room where the appliance is installed must be permanently ventilated so as to guarantee correct functioning according to the National Rules in force. The quantity of air needed is re-quired for regular combustion of the gas and for the ventilation of the room and whose volume must be no less than 20 m3. The natural flow of air must be direct through permanent openings in the walls (that go through to the outside) of the room to be ventilated with a minimum cross free section of 100cm2 for appliances fitted with the Flame Safety Device (FSD) on each burner (see fig. 4). These openings must be positioned so they cannot be never obstructed. If the appliance is not fitted with the Flame Safety Device (FSD) on each burner, the cross-free section shall be not less than 200cm2 Indirect ventilation is also allowed by taking air from rooms adjacent to the one to be ventilated, strictly complying with the prescriptions of the National Rules in force.

The total area of cabinet holes shall not be less than 80 square centimeters.
The gas appliance should have a distance of more than 150 mm away from surrounding combustible materials.
If another appliance (e.g. dishwasher, washer) is to be installed under the gas appliance, keep a clearance of at least 100 mm rom the bottom of the gas appliance. f the installation instruction of the appliance underneath requires a different distance, adopt the larger value.
Reserve a distance of not less than 650 mm between the gas appliance and rangehood.
Gas hob product will be installed in cabinet door with grille for air circulation. Pls kindly take noted can not use solid door for avoiding gas hob cannot operate properly due to lack of air for combustion.

LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas appliances must always discharge the products of combustion through extractors connected to flues or directly to the outside (see fig. 5). If it iS impossible to use an extractor, a fan installed on the window or on a wall facing the outside is allowed and should be switched on each time the appliance is used (see fig. 6), provided the rules and regulations in force relating to ventilation HAFELE 538.66.507 Built In Gas Hob

The adjustment sticker data plate, gives all the appliance’s setting conditions as: gas type and gas operating pressures. Once installed, check there are no leaks using a soapy solution only. Never use a flame! It is forbidden!
The appliance’s gas inlet fitting is a G ½ male threaded cylindrical gas type in accordance with the Standard ISO 228-1. When gas is distributed through ducts the appliance must be connected- ed to the gas mains with:

Flexible stainless steel, seamless pipe in accordance with the National Rules in force, with a maximum 2 meters extension and seals in accordance with the National Rules in force. N.B.:
