[. . . ] Under no circumstances should the user replace the power supply cable or the gas connection pipe of this appliance. In the event of damage or the necessity for replacement, only contact an authorised service centre. Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the data on the rating plate (situated on the bottom part of the appliance and on the last page of the booklet) correspond to those of the mains electricity and gas supplies. Check that the capacity of the electrical system and the power outlets are suitable for the maximum power of the appliance, indicated on the rating plate. [. . . ] After washing the stainless steel parts they should be rinsed and dried with a soft cloth (washleather). After cleaning, some special treatments are available to bring back the shine to steel and to prevent it from yellowing; for this purpose, we recommend you use the specific “special cream detergent for steel care” provided and available from our Assistance Centres. The removable parts of the burners should be washed frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to remove caked-on substance. Check that the gas outlet slits are not clogged. Dry the burners carefully before using them again. Frequently clean the end part of the automatic glow plugs of the hob. €¢ • • • 10 Greasing the taps As time passes, a tap may lock or become difficult to turn. In this case it will be necessary to clean inside and replace the grease. This procedure must be performed by a technician authorized by the manufacturer. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER The following instructions are provided for qualified installers so that they may accomplish installation, adjustment and technical maintenance operations correctly and in compliance with current regulations and standards. Important: the hob should be disconnected from the mains electricity supply before any adjustment, maintenance, etc. Maximum caution should be used whenever it is necessary to keep the appliance connected to the electricity supply. The hobs have the following technical characteristics: -Category II 2H3+ -Class 1 characteristics (fig. 2A): · Total free cross section of passage of at least 6 cm² for every kW of rated heating capacity of the appliance, with a minimum of 100 cm² (the heating capacity is indicated on the rating plate); · It must be made in such a way that the aperture, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed; · In such a way that the above-mentioned free section is not reduced; · It must be situated as near to floor level as possible. Detail A Adjacent room Room to be ventilated Positioning This appliance may only be installed and operated in permanently ventilated rooms in compliance with provisions laid down by current regulations and standards. The following requirements must be observed: • The appliance must discharge combustion products into a special hood, which must be connected to a chimney, flue pipe or directly to the outside (fig. €¢ If it is impossible to fit a hood, the use of an electric fan is permitted, either installed on a window or on an external wall, which must be switched on at the same time as the appliance. 1 A Examples of ventilation holes for comburant air Enlarging the ventilation slot between window and floor Fig. 2B The air inflow may also be obtained from an adjoining room, provided the latter is not a bedroom or a room where there is a risk of fire, such as garages, mews, fuel stores, etc. and is ventilated in compliance with the standards in force. Air from the adjoining room to the one to be ventilated may be made to freely pass through permanent apertures with a cross section at least equal to that indicated above. These apertures may also be obtained by increasing the gap between the door and the floor (fig. [. . . ] The supply cable must be in such a position that no part of it can reach a temperature of 50 °C above room temperature. For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the 13 oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply both for safety reasons and for easy removal of the oven if necessary. Do not use adapters or shunts as they could cause heating or burning. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that: • the limiter valve and the domestic system can withstand the load from the appliance (see rating plate); • the supply system is efficiently earthed according to standards and laws in force; • the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible when the appliance is installed.
