Connection To Gas Supply; Electrical Connection - Candy HOBS Instruction Manual

The installation technician must observe current laws governing ventilation and removal of combustion fumes
Please remind that the air required for combustion is 2m
Installation area
In the room where the gas appliance is installed, there must be a sufficient natural air supply to
allow the gas to burn correctly (in conformity of currents laws).
The natural flow of air must take place through an opening made on an outside wall of the room
and having a working section of at least 100 cm
valves, this opening must have a minimum working section of 200 cm
This opening must be made in such a way that it cannot be obstructed from inside or outside.
It should be positioned near floor level, preferably on the side opposite the fume exhaust devices.
If it is not possible to make the necessary openings, the air can be supplied from an adjacent, suitably
ventilated room, as long as this room is not a bedroom, a dangerous area or a lowpressure area.
Removal of combustion fumes
Combustion fumes produced by gas appliances must be removed by means of a hood connected
directly either to an exhaust duct or to the outside (fig.8).
If a hood cannot be installed, an electric extractor fan must be fitted to the outside wall or the window.
This electric extractor fan must have a sufficient capacity to guarantee a change of air of the
kitchen of at least 3-5 times its volume.

E Electric extractor fan for removal of combustion fumes

Connection to gas supply

Before installation, make sure the type and pressure of the local gas supply are compatible with the
cooktop settings. To do this, check the data on the appliance data plate on the cooktop as well as on
this handbook. The gas connection must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance
with local current laws. If using metal hoses, ensure these do not come into contact with any
movable parts and are at no point crushed.
Carry out the connection in such a way as does not cause any stress whatsoever on the appliance.
The gas supply connector is threaded G½" (fig.12).
For ISO R7 connections, the gasket is not required.
For ISO R228 connections, the washer supplied must be fitted.
After connection operations, check for leaks using a soapy solution.

Electrical connection

Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, check that the voltage corresponds to that on the
data plate and that the power supply cable is suitable for the appliance load also stated on the data place.
If the appliance is connected directly to the mains, fit an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum
contact gap of 3 mm, adequate for the appliance load and complying to regulations.
The plug used must support the power of work of the appliance.
Warnings:
-
Do not use reducers, adapters or switches for connection to the mains, since these
could overheat and cause burns.
-
Earth connection is required by law (fig.10).
The manufacturer declines all liability resulting from failure to observe this regulation.
If the power cable must be replaced, use a cable having identical characteristics to the original
supplied by the manufacturer, suitable for the load and temperature (type T90° C). This is available
