Installation
The necessary operations for installation, including gas and electrical connections, are described below. Such operations
must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current regulations, since their performance by unskilled
people may constitute a hazard.
The manufacturer declines any liability for injury or damage due to non-compliance with these provisions. THE GAS
CONNECTION MUST COMPLY WITH UNI 7129 AND UNI 7131 STANDARDS.
Preparing the cabinet
This handbook regards a class 3 built-in cooking hob.
Prepare the opening in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 1.
The opening must be made in the most convenient position, taking into account that the gas pipe must not come into
contact with the sides of a possible oven under the hob.
The opening of the recess must be at least 55 mm from the rear wall. Any right or left side wall higher than the hob must
be at least 150 mm from the hole in the top.
Fitting in the cabinet
After carrying out the connection operations, apply the sealing strip around the hole and position the hob. Carefully
tighten the fixing hooks (fig. 2). Remove any excess sealing strip.
Note
If the appliance is not installed above an oven, a separator baffle must be arranged (fig. 3).
Flush fitting (85550 G-FM model only)
• Prepare the opening in the top according to the measurements given in fig. 1b.
• Mill the top along the entire edge of the opening, making sure to respect the measurements indicated in fig. 1b and 4.
• The opening must be made in the most convenient position, taking into account that the gas pipe must not come into
contact with the sides of a possible electrical appliance installed under the hob.
• After carrying out the necessary connections, spread the silicone sealant around the opening, at the milling, and
position the hob.
• Position the hooks, supplied as accessories, in their special seats, on the fixing profiles.
• Carefully tighten the fixing hooks (fig. 4).
• Remove any excess sealant.
Connection to the gas supply
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply, in compliance with the current regulations, make sure it is arranged
for the type of gas to be used.
Otherwise, carry out the operations described in the section “Replacing injectors” (page 17). For liquefied gas, use
pressure regulators complying with the current regulations.
Connection to the gas pipe can be carried out in two ways:
A Connect the gas hob using a 12 mm diameter rigid copper pipe, as shown in
fig. 5. To ensure a good seal, fit the elastomer gasket supplied as an
accessory (standard UNI EN 682).
B Connect the hob using a continuous-surface flexible steel tube (standard UNI
9891). Also in this case, to ensure a good seal use the gasket supplied as an
accessory. The current regulations on gas systems, and in particular the
above-mentioned UNI standards must be respected.
After carrying out the connection use soapy water to check for any leaks.
Ventilation of rooms
Make sure the room where the appliance is installed has permanent ventilation openings towards the outside or ventilation
ducts to ensure an adequate air flow, as prescribed by the current regulations. All openings made must:
1. have a section of at least 100 cm
2
;
2. be made in such a way that they cannot be obstructed from inside or outside;
3. be provided with suitable protection to ensure that the ventilation opening is not reduced;
4. be at a suitable height from floor so that they do not hinder the exhausting of fumes.
If openings are made in the wall of an adjacent room, the latter must have direct ventilation and must not be:
1. a bedroom;
2. a common area of the building;
3. a room with fire risk.
Before testing the appliance, make sure the room where the ventilation opening is made is not in low pressure due to the
operation of another user and that the ventilation between the two rooms is guaranteed by permanent free openings, for
example by increasing the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. The fumes must be exhausted by means of
a hood which, in turn, must be connected to a chimney, flue, or directly to the outside.
