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.

must not be less than 2 m3/h per
kW of installed power.
The air circulation system may
take air directly from the outside
by means of a pipe with an inner
cross section of at least 100
cm2; the opening must not be
vulnerable to any type of
blockages.
The system can also provide the
air needed for combustion
indirectly, i.e. from adjacent rooms
fitted with air circulation tubes as
described above. However, these
rooms must not 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 advisable 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.

Make sure you take all the necessary precautions to guarantee
proper installation in compliance with the applicable norms in
force regarding accident-prevention for electrical connection. For
the correct operation of the appliance when built into the cabinet,
it is vital that the minimum distances illustrated in Fig. 1 be
respected. The hob features a type Y degree of protection against
overheating in compliance with norms. All surfaces adjacent to
the cabinet and the back panel
should be made of materials
resistant to a temperature of 65°C.
