connected in compliance with the above mentioned installation rules. Particular attention must be paid

• This hotplate must be installed in accordance with:
AS 5601 - Gas Installations (for Australia)
NZS 5261 – Code of Practice for the Installation of Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment (for New

Local gas fitting regulations
AS/NZS 3000 – Electrical Installations (Wiring Rules)

INSTALLATION
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 5601 - Gas Installations and any other statutory regulations.
VENTILATING THE ROOMS
The room where the appliance is installed must be permanently ventilated so as to guarantee correct functioning.
The quantity of air needed is that required for a regular combustion of the gas and for the ventilation of the room and
whose volume must be no less than 20 m
3
. The natural flow of air must be direct through permanent openings in the
walls (that go through to the outside) of the room to be ventilated with a minimum cross section of 100 cm
2
(see fig.
6). These openings must be positioned so they cannot be obstructed.
Indirect ventilation is also allowed by taking air from rooms adjacent to the one to be ventilated, strictly complying
with the prescriptions of the standards in force.
LOCATION AND AERATION
Gas ovens must always discharge the products of combustion through extractors connected to flues or directly to the
outside (see fig. 7). If it is impossible to use an extractor, a fan installed on the window or on a wall facing the outside
is allowed and should be switched on each time the appliance is used (see fig. 8), provided the rules and regulations
in force relating to ventilation.
(*) Air inlet - minimum section 100 cm

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Once the outer wrapping and the inner wrappings of the various parts have been removed, check and make sure
that the appliance is in perfect condition. If you have any doubts do not use the appliance and call your nearest
Assistance Centre.
Some parts are mounted on the appliance and protected by a plastic film. This protective film must be removed
before ever the appliance is used. We recommend slitting the plastic film along the edges with a sharp knife or pin.
The packaging materials used (cardboard, bags, polystyrene foam, nails …) should not be left anywhere
within easy reach of children as they are a potential hazard source.
INSTALLING AND FIXING THE HOB
The measurements of the cavity made in the top of the modular cabinet and into which the hob will be recessed are indicated in
fig. 9. Cupboards or hoods have to maintain a least distance of 600mm/750 mm from the top.
