Installation 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. Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction manual carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.

Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. Positioning Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips). The appliance must be installed by a qualified person according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property. This appliance should only be installed and used in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with current National regulations. 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. Examples of ventilation holes for comburant air. • 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 a good idea 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 Use a suitable kitchen unit to ensure that the appliance functions properly. • The panels adjacent to the oven must be made from heat-resistant material. • Cabinets with a veneer exterior must be assembled with a glue that can withstand temperatures of up to 100°C. • To install the oven under the counter (see diagram) or in a kitchen unit, the cabinet must have the following dimensions:

567 mm. • The room must also allow proper air circulation, as air is needed for combustion to occur normally. The flow of air needed for combustion must not be less than 2 m3/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 cm2; the opening must not be vulnerable to any Examples of ventilation holes for comburant air. type of blockages. 23 mm. Directly to the Outside 5 mm. In a chimney stack or branched flue. (exclusively for cooking appliances) 595 mm.

The appliance must not come into contact with electrical parts once it has been installed. The figures indicated on the data plate have been calculated for this type of installation. Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

Electrical connections Ovens equipped with a three-pole power supply cable are designed to operate with alternating current at the voltage and frequency indicated on the data plate located on the appliance (see below). Centring and fastening Position the 4 tabs on the side of the oven according to the 4 holes on the outer frame. Adjust the tabs according to the thickness of the cabinet side panel, as shown below: 20 mm thick: take off the removable part of the tab (see diagram). 18 mm thick: use the first groove, which has already been set in the factory (see diagram). Fitting the power supply cable

1. Open the terminal board by

inserting a screwdriver into the side tabs of the cover. Use the screwdriver as a lever by pushing it down to open the cover (see diagram).

2. Loosen the cable clamp

screw and remove it, using a screwdriver as a lever (see figure).

3. Remove the wire contact

screws L-N, then fasten the wires under the screw heads, respecting the colour code: Blue (N), Brown (L) and Yellow-Green Verde ( ). Connecting the supply cable to the mains 16 mm thick: use the second groove (see diagram). Secure the appliance to the cabinet by opening the oven door and fastening 4 screws into the 4 holes of the outer frame. All parts ensuring the safe operation of the appliance must not be removable without the aid of a tool. Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate (see adjacent box). The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuitbreaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• the appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law. • the socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate (see below). • the voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate (see below). • the socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets. Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible. The cable must not be bent or compressed. Connection with a rigid pipe (copper or steel) Connection to the gas system must be carried out in such a way as not to place any strain of any kind on the appliance. There is an adjustable L-shaped pipe fitting on the appliance supply ramp and this is fitted with a seal in order to prevent leaks. The seal must always be replaced after rotating the pipe fitting (the seal is provided with the appliance). The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance). Connecting a flexible jointless stainless steel pipe to a threaded attachment The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. The gas supply pipe fitting is a threaded 1/2 gas cylindrical male attachment. These pipes must be installed so that they are never longer than 2000 mm when fully extended. Once connection has been carried out, make sure that the flexible metal pipe does not touch any moving parts and is not compressed. Gas connection The appliance should be connected to the main gas supply or to a gas cylinder in compliance with current National regulations. Before carrying out the connection, make sure the cooker is compatible with the gas supply you wish to use. If this is not the case, follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph “Adapting to different types of gas.” When using liquid gas from a cylinder, install a pressure regulator that complies with current National regulations. Check that the pressure of the gas supply is consistent with the values indicated in Table 1 (“Burner and nozzle specifications”) since this will ensure the safe operation and longevity of your appliance while maintaining efficient energy consumption. Should you need to install a gas hob on top of a built-in gas oven, it is strictly forbidden to connect the two or to use a single cut-off tap. The two appliances should be connected separately, and each one should have its own stop tap in order to make them completely independent from one another (see figures).

Only use pipes and seals that comply with current National regulations. Checking the tightness of the connection When installation has been completed, check the pipe fittings for leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame. Adapting to different types of gas In order to adapt the oven to a type of gas other than the type for which it was manufactured (indicated on the label), follow these simple steps: • Replacing the oven burner nozzle

1. Open the oven door fully.

2. Slide out the bottom of the

4. Remove screw “V” and

then the oven burner.

5. Unscrew the oven burner

nozzle using the special socket spanner for the nozzles, or better still a 7 mm socket spanner, and replace it with a nozzle suited to the new type of gas (see Table 1).

6. Replace all the parts, following the steps

described above in the reverse order.

5. Make sure the burner does not switch off when

you turn the knob from Max to Min quickly, or when you open and close the oven door quickly. If the appliance is connected to liquid gas, the regulation screw must be fastened as tightly as possible. Once this procedure is finished, replace the old rating sticker with one indicating the new type of gas used. This sticker is available from any of our Service Centres. If the gas pressure is different from the recommended pressure, a suitable pressure regulator must be fitted to the inlet pipe in accordance with current National Regulations. Take particular care when handling the spark plug wires and the thermocouple pipes. • Primary air regulation for the oven burner The burner was designed not to need any adjustments to the primary air. • Setting the oven burner to minimum

1. Turn the knob first to the Max setting for about 10

minutes and then to Min.

3. Remove the disk fastened to the control panel.
