Instructions for the installation technician
CAUTION: This appliance must only be installed and used in rooms with
permanent ventilation to local standards.
Installation of the appliance and its connection to the electrical mains must only be
carried out by QUALIFIED PERSONEL.
Before doing any servicing, it is important to check that the
appliance is DISCONNECTED from the electrical mains. The
Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage arising
from installation in breach of the regulations in force or from
failure to comply with the accident prevention regulations.
Installation premises
For proper operation of a gas appliance, the air necessary for
the combustion of the gas must be able to flow into the room
naturally. The air must flow into the room directly through
openings in the outside walls. These openings must have an
3
unobstructed cross-section not less than 2m
/h for each kw of
power (see total power in kw on the appliance nameplate).
This opening must be constructed so that it will not be
obstructed from inside or outside, or constructed close to the
floor. The opening is recommended to be on the side opposite
to that on which the flue gases are discharged. If it is not
feasible to provide these openings in the room where the
appliance is installed, the necessary air may be taken from an adjacent room, provided
that:
·this room is not a bedroom or a hazardous environment;
·this room has ventilation;
·the ventilation between the room where the appliance is installed and the adjacent
room has openings.
Discharge of flue gases
Gas cooking appliances must discharge their flue gases through hoods connected
directly to flues or the outdoors. If it is not possible to install the hood (fig. B) an
electric fan must be installed on the outside wall or the window of the room, provided
it is possible for the ventilation opening to be increased in proportion to the delivery
rate of the fan (fig. C). For a kitchen, the delivery rate of this electric fan must
guarantee an hourly air exchange of 3-5 times its volume. In both instances, the use of
flues already used by other appliances to discharge the flue gases is forbidden.
