!

 The installation instructions for cooking ranges shall

include a recommendation that such appliances

should not be placed adjacent to a door access to

minimise the likelihood of persons using the door

making contact with pans on the hob surface.

!

 Before operating your new appliance please read this

instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information

for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.

Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891

Current Editions. The following requirements must be

observed:

• The room must be equipped with an air extraction system

that expels any combustion fumes. This may consist of a

hood or an electric fan that automatically starts each time

the appliance is switched on.

• The room must also allow

proper air circulation, as air is

needed for combustion to occur

normally. The flow of air must not

be less than 2 m

3

/h per kW of

installed power.

The air circulation system may

take air directly from the outside

by means of a pipe with an inner

cross section of  at least 100 cm

2

;

the opening must not be

vulnerable to any type of

blockages.

The system can also provide the

air needed for combustion

indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms

fitted with air circulation tubes as described above.

However, these rooms must not be communal rooms,

bedrooms or rooms that may present a fire hazard.

• Liquid petroleum gas sinks to the floor as it is heavier

than air. Therefore, rooms containing LPG cylinders must

also be equipped with vents to allow gas to escape in the

event of a leak. As a result LPG cylinders, whether

partially or completely full, must not be installed or stored

in rooms or storage areas that are below ground level

(cellars, etc.). It is advisable to keep only the cylinder

being used in the room, positioned so that it is not

subject to heat produced by external sources (ovens,

fireplaces, stoves, etc. ) which could raise the

temperature of the cylinder above 50°C.

Fitting the appliance

Gas and mixed hobs are manufactured with type X degree

protection against overheating. The following precautions

must be taken when installing the hob:
• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller

than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the

edge of the hob.

• Hoods must be installed according to their relative

installation instruction manuals and at a minimum

distance of 650 mm from the hob.

• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a

minimum height of 420 mm from the hob (

see figure

).

If the hob is installed beneath a

wall cabinet, the latter must be

situated at a minimum of 700 mm

above the hob (

see figure

).

• The installation cavity should have the dimensions

indicated in the figure.

Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the

hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To

ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we

recommend you use all the hooks provided.
