INSTALLATION

Technical information for the Installer

This cooktop can be embedded in a worktop 20 to 50 mm 
thick. If there is no oven beneath the cooktop (any oven 
installed must be manufactured by us and equipped with a 
cooling system), insert a separator panel at a minimum 
distance of 20 mm from the bottom of the cooktop.

Note: before installation, make sure that the local gas 
delivery conditions (nature and pressure of gas) are 
compatible with the settings of the cooktop, as indicated on 
the Product Description Sheet and on the rating plate.

• If a vertical piece of furniture is installed, there must be 

a gap of at least 100 mm between it and the edge of the 
cooktop.

Before installation, remove the plastic film protecting the 
appliance, if provided.
The outer surfaces of the furniture or appliances adjacent to 
the cooktop must be heat resistant (heat protection “

Y

”) 

according to standards.

Installation must comply with current local regulations.

In the room where the cooktop is installed, there must be 
enough air to allow the gas to burn correctly 
(see the separate Product Description Sheet).

The natural flow of air must take place through an adequate 
opening, that must be:
- permanent, made on one of the outside walls of the room, 
and communicating with the exterior in an area away from 
sources of pollution;
- built so as to ensure that its openings, both on the inside 
and on the outside, cannot be obstructed, intentionally or 
accidentally;
- protected by a metal grid or mesh that does not reduce its 
working section;
- situated near the floor level and positioned so as not to 
interfere with the operation of the fume exhaust devices.
- The fume exhaust has to take place through an appropriate 
hood or fan installed on the wall or on the window.

Assembly

• Apply the supplied gasket to the cooktop (if not yet 

fitted), after having cleaned its surface as shown in the 
relevant figure.

To secure the cooktop, use brackets 

(A)

 supplied with it.

1.

Fit the brackets into the relevant bores and fasten them by 
means of their screws.

2.

Make an opening in the worktop, respecting the dimensions 
indicated in the enclosed Product Description Sheet.

3.

Install the cooktop in the worktop.

Important: the power supply cable and plug must be 
suitable for the power absorption of the cooktop, and the 
cable must be long enough to permit its upward extraction.
