Installation Instructions for built-in
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 necessi-
tate 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 appliance can be installed next to furniture units which
are no taller than the top of the cooker hob. The wall in
direct contact with the back panel of the cooker must be
made of non-flammable material. During operation the
back panel of the cooker could reach a temperature of
50°C above room temperature. 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
110 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) In the case of the 600 mm cooker hoods, besides following
the recommendations in point b), the cabinets should be
positioned next to the hood at a height of at least 540 mm
from the top since this will make it possible to install the lid
and move it correctly. The cabinet should always be installed
