INSTALLATION

8.1. Packaging and unpacking
During unloading and when installing the device follow the information from the manufacturer placed directly on the packaging and in this manual.
To lift and transport the product plan to use a fork lift or stacker, and pay attention to even weight distribution to avoid a risk of tilting of the packaging (avoid excessive incline!).
**** While using the elevator pay attention to the gas supply hoses and position of feet.
The packaging consists of the carton packaging and wooden pallet. There are symbols printed on the carton packaging that according to the international agreements inform about the regulations to follow when loading and unloading, transporting and storing the appliance.

When collecting the goods check if the packaging is complete and has not been damaged during transport.
Any damage should be immediately reported to the shipping company.
Unpack the device as soon as possible to check if the device is not damaged.
Do not use a sharp object to cut the carton box. It may damage the stainless steel inside the box.
Remove the carton packaging from bottom to top.
When unpacked check if the device is according to the order.
In case of any difference inform the sales agent immediately
**** Do not store the packaging materials (nylon bags, polystyrene foam, clips …) in the reach of children! Remove the protective PVC layer from the out and inner surfaces. If possible, do not use any metal tools.

8.2. Installation (service technician)
All the stages of the installation must be carefully planned.
The location should be equipped with all supply connections and production waste outlet. The location should also be properly lit and comply with all hygiene and sanitary requirements according to the binding regulations.
The appliance should be installed with the minimum 5 cmclearance fromthe wall, if the wall is not resistant to the minimum temperature of 150 °C. Locate the device in the horizontal position by adjusting the individual feet.
When the device is to be installed near the walls, partitions, kitchen cabinets, decorative elements, etc., they must be made from non- flammable materials or covered with suitable non-flammable materials.
To ensure the correct operation of the device, the device must be installed and operated in the thoroughly ventilated room only.

Internal installation of the gas supply and the rooms in which the appliance is housed, must comply with the local regulations applicable in the country in which the appliance is used (Regulation of 12 June 96 and UNI-CIG 87/23).
In order to ensure the proper gas burning in the igniters, the required volume of air, that is ca. 2 cubic meters per hour for every kW of installed power, must be supplied.

8.3. Gas connection (service technician)
A gas connection must be performed in compliance with the applicable regulations.
Before connecting the appliance, check the technical data, type of gas, working pressure and flow rate which are provided on the rating plate. The installation is performed by connecting the connection pipe of the appliance with a pipe of the gas distribution network. A shut-off valve must be installed on the connection to shut the gas supply off if necessary.
If there are significant pressure differences in the gas supply installation, it is recommended to install a pressure regulator.
After the installation, check the gas connection for tightness.

** When looking for gas leaks do not use the open flame!
8.4. Extraction of fumes**

Installation of the type “A” devices does not envisage connection to the fume exhaust system, but to the appropriate extraction hood which discharges the fumes to outside.

Installation under the extraction hood (A)

Place the device under the extraction hood (1) and attach a pipe to the device outlet of the size as shown on the figures.

The end of the fume extraction pipe should be located at least 1.8m above the floor.
Gas supply of the device should be directly subjected to forced extraction system: blocking of the fan must shut the gas supply off.
The fan must switch on automatically when the gas valve is open.
8.5. Installation of the appliance in a line

To fix the appliance in a line (neighbouring) follow the steps:

Dismantle the control panel, and remove the cast iron frame from the chimney if necessary.

Apply the sealing tape (A) onto the joining sides.
Place the appliances next to each other and in a horizontal position (by adjusting the feet).

Connect the appliances with the joining elements.
8.6. Modification for other type of gas (service technician )

The device has been checked by the manufacturer for the type of gas shown on the rating plate. If a different type of gas is used, follow these instructions.

1. Close the gas valve (A).
