IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
The cooker can be installed separately, as a freestanding unit, on a plinth (Only for models with all electric
o
vens/grills), or between kitchen units or between a kitchen unit and the wall.
If installing the appliance as a freestanding cooker, screw the height adjustable telescopic legs supplied to the
base of the appliance. If installing the appliance on a plinth, screw the levelling feet supplied to the base of the
appliance.
This appliance is not connected to devices which exhaust combustion products.
Special attention must be focused on the prescriptions described below regarding room aeration and
ventilation. Any hanging cabinets installed above the work surface must be located at a distance of no less than
700 mm.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
NOT FOR USE IN MARINE CRAFT, CARAVANS OR MOBILE HOMES UNLESS EACH BURNER IS FITTED WITH
FLAME SAFEGUARD.
WHERE THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN MARINE CRAFT OR IN CARAVANS, IT SHALL NOT
BE USED AS A
SPACE HEATER.
WARNING: SERVICING SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ONLY BY AUTHORISED PERSONNEL.
DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.
ROOM VENTILATION
To ensure that the appliance operate correctly, the room where it is installed must be continuously ventilated. The room
volume should not be less than 25 m³ and the quantity of air needed shall be based on the regular combustion of gas
and on the ventilation of the room. Natural air will flow through permanent openings in the walls of the room to be
ventilated: these openings will be connected with the outside environment and shall have a minimum cross-section
defined by the current national standards regarding room ventilation (see Fig. 3).
These openings shall be built so that they cannot be clogged.
Indirect ventilation is also permitted by taking air from the rooms adjacent to the one to be ventilated.
LOCATION AND AERATION
The gas cooking appliances must always evacuate the combustion products by means of hoods connected to chimneys,
flues or directly outside (see Fig. 4). If a hood cannot be installed, it is possible to use a fan installed on a window or
directly facing outdoors, to be operated together with the appliance (see Fig. 5), provided that there is strict compliance
with the ventilation regulations.
APPLIANCE GAS CONNECTION
Before connecting the appliance to the gas network, make sure that the data on the label attached to the food
w
armer drawer or on the back of the cooker are compatible with what is indicated for the gas distribution
network.
A label attached to the last page of this handbook and in the food warmer drawer (or on the back) of the
appliance indicates the appliance adjustment conditions: type of gas and operating pressure.
IMPORTANT: This appliance must be installed in compliance with current national standards in force and used
only in a well-ventilated room.
This appliance shall be installed only by authorised persons and in accordance with the manufacturer's
installation instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring regulations,
local water supply regulations, AS/NZS 5601.1-2010-Gas Installations–General installations and any other
statutory regulations.
WARNING: It should be recalled that the appliance utilises a threaded 1/2" gas cylindrical male fitting according
to UNI-ISO 228-1.
For ease of service, the cooker should be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA
Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, between 1 - 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601 for a high level connection.
WARNING: Ensure that the hose is not subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to
be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections tested for
gas leaks. The fixed consumer piping outlet should be at approximately the same height as the cooker connection point,
pointing downwards and approximately 200mm - 300mm in from the left hand side of the cooker. The hose should be
clear of the floor when the cooker is in the installed position. A hose restraint chain should be anchored to the wall to
prevent strain on the hose connections when the cooker is pulled forward.
Fit the supplied gas connectors as shown in Fig. 6 for your installation gas type. The gas inlet has a 1/2" BSP male
thread. When making the connection, take care not to apply excessive stress by counterbalancing tightening force.
Ensure that the available gas supply is the same as the gas type label affixed near the gas connection point. If not,
contact Bertazzoni Service Center for a Gas Conversion Kit.
