UP

Function check electrical system

– Start-up the appliance following the instructions

given; check function regularity  and make sure
that the controls and heating elements are in good
working order, testing them with the various
function positions.

– Appliances are provided with a safety thermostat

which cuts off power supply to heating elements
if regulation thermostat is faulty.

Nominal heat input check

– After installation and at each maintenance

intervention check the heat input of the
appliance.

– The nominal heat input is stated in the

“Technical data” table.

– The appliance operates at the nominal heat

input when the electrical power is the one stated
in Table T1.

ATTENTION 

If  the  power supply value is not

within the limits indicated in Table T1, interrupt
the operation of the appliance and contact the

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS

Installation, adjustments and maintenance of the
appliances must be done by authorized installers,
in accordance with the safety standards in force.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility
if such obligation is not observed.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

– The overall/connection dimensions and the

technical data are stated in the pages in the
appendix.

– Install the appliances only in sufficiently aired

rooms.

– Position appliances at least 5 cm from the nearby

walls.

– The appliances are not suitable for built-in

installation.

Assembly

– Remove the film which protects the external

panels. Any glue remaining on these is to be
removed with a suitable solvent.

– Assemble the spacer (if foreseen) by following

the instructions enclosed with the spacer itself.

In line union of the appliances

– Put the appliances next to eachother and level

them at the same height.

– Unite the appliances using the special union

joint-coverings supplied upon request.

Electrical connections

– Appliances are designed to operate at the voltage

indicated on the rating plate.

– Each appliance must be connected to an

independent mains supply of suitable capacity
(total power indicated in “Technical data” table)
with supplied flexible cable (features of which
are indicated in table 

T1

).

– Make sure that the cables lenght allows for the

live wires to disconnect from terminal block
before the yellow/green ground wire, in case of
simultaneous pull.

– Automatic cutout omnipolar switches of suitable

capacity (with contacts opening to at least 3
mm) and highly sensitive automatic differential
protective devices must be fitted. These must
ensure that there is no direct or indirect contact
between live components and fault currents
and the ground, in accordance with current
regulations (maximum admissible leakage
current 1 mA/kW).

Earth and unipotential connections

– Appliances must be earthed on terminals marked

with the symbol        .

– Connect the metallic structure of every electrical

appliance installed to the terminals, marked by
