INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. it is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. in the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.

BUILDING IN

The hob may be installed in any worktop which is heat resistant to a temperature of 100°C, and has a thickness of 25-45 mm. The dimensions of the insert to be cut out of the worktop are in shown in Figure below

When there is an accessible space between the built-in hob and the cavity below, a dividing wall made of insulating material should be inserted (wood or a similar material) (Figure below).
If the Hob is fitted next to a cabinet on either side, the distance between the Hob and the cabinet must be at least 15 cm ; while the distance between the hob and the rear wall must be at least 50 mm. (see Figure 4) The distance between the hob and any other unit or appliance above it (e.g.An extractor hood) must be no less than 70 cm . (Figure Below)
Metal objects in the drawer may reach high temperatures due to air recirculation. It is therefore recommended to use an intermediate wood panel.
Important — The diagram in figure 1 shows how the sealant should
be applied. The Hob unit is fitted by attaching the Fixing Clamps supplied, using the holes at the base of the unit. If a hob of 60 cm is fitted above an oven which is not equipped with fan cooling system it is recommended that openings are created within the built in furniture to ensure correct air circulation. . The size of these openings must be at least 300 cm2 and placed as shown in Figure Below

SUITABLE LOCATION

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only used in a well ventilated space. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat and humidity in the area in which it is installed. For this reason you should ensure good ventilation either by keeping all natural air passages open or by installing an extractor hood with an exhaust flue. Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may require extra ventilation, such as the opening of a window or an increase in speed of the electric fan, if you have one.
If a hood can not be installed, an electric fan should be fitted to an outside wall or window to ensure that there is adequate ventilation. The electric fan should be able to carry out a complete change of air in the kitchen 3-5 times every hour. The installer should follow the relevant national standards.

Where the Hob is connected direct to the electricity supply, a circuit breaker must be fitted. If the power supply cord is damaged this is to be replaced by a qualified engineer so as to prevent any potential risk.
The earth wire ( green and yellow coloured ) must be at least 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires.
The section of the cable used must be of the correct size in relation to the absorbed power of the hob. Please check rating plate for the power details and ensure that the power supply cord is of the type 3×0.75 mm² H05 V2V2-F.
ELECTRICAL-CONNECTION

If an appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the instructions shall state that means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

GAS CONNECTION

These instructions are for qualified personnel, installation of equipment must be in line with the relevant national standard.
( For U.K. only: by law the gas installation\commissioning must be carried out by a “Gas Safe” installer ) All work must be carried out with the electricity supply disconnected.
Use only pipes,washers and sealing washers which comply with the relevant national standards. The rating plate on the hob shows the type of gas with which it is designed to be used. Connection to the mains gas supply or gas cylinder should be carried out after having checked that it is regulated for the type of gas with which it will be supplied. If it is not correctly regulated see the instructions in the following paragraphs to change gas setting.
For liquid gas (cylinder gas) use pressure regulators which comply with the relevant national standards. For some models a conic link is furnished to outfit for the installation in the countries where this type of link is obligatory; in picture 8 it is pointed out how to recognize the different types of links
(CY = cylindrical, CO = conic). In every case the cylindrical part of the link has to be connected to the hob. The flexible tube shall be fitted in such a way that it cannot come into contact with a moveable part of the housing unit (e.g. a drawer) and does not pass through any space where it may become crushed/ kinked or damaged in any way. When connecting the hob to the gas supply via use of flexible hoses please ensure that the maximum distance covered by the hose does not exceed 2 metres.

The flexible tube shall be fitted in such a way that it cannot come into contact with a moveable part of the housing unit (e.g. a drawer) and does not pass through any space where it may become crushed/ kinked or damaged in any way. To prevent any potential damage to the hob please carry out the installation following this sequence (picture below)

As illustrated, assemble parts in sequence:
A: 1/2 MaleAdaptor Cylindirical
B: 1/2 Seal
C: 1/2 Female Gas Adaptor Conical-Cylindrical or Cylindirical-Cylindirical
Tighten the joints with the spanner, remembering to twist the pipes into position.
Attach fitting C to mains gas supply using rigid copper pipe or flexible steel pipe.

IMPORTANT : Carry out a final check for leaks on the pipe connections using a soapy solution. Also, make sure that the flexible pipe cannot come into contact with a moving part of the cabinet (eg.adrawer) and that it is not situated where it could be damaged.
