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.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.

be communal rooms,
bedrooms or rooms that may
present a fire hazard.
• 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:
! The appliance must not come into contact with
electrical parts once it has been installed.
