Best Chef GH 61 FS IX [9/32] Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply check that the voltage corresponds to that on the

Installation area

Fig.9

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

(A).

In the case of appliances without safety

valves, this opening must have a minimum

working section of 200 cm

(fig.9).

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.7).

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.

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”.

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.
