BEFORE DELIVERY Safety requirements
In order to be able to install your appliance as soon as it is delivered, you will have to check that
the layout of your kitchen and your gas and electricity supplies are ready for it.
All gas and electrical installations must comply with the standards and current regulations,
as well as with the requirements of local gas and electricity suppliers.
In the event of the appliance being installed by us, our technicians may ask you for a certificate
proving that your domestic installation is compliant.
The manufacturer shall not incur any liability for an incorrect installation, and incorrect installa-
tions shall void the warranty. Moreover, no legal actions can be undertaken in relation to incorrect
installations.
1.1. Ventilation
Special care should be taken to respect the regulation in force regarding ventilation. All requi-
rements and regulations in force regarding the ventilation of rooms where gas appliances are
installed should be respected.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. It is essential that the kitchen where the "La Cornue" stove will be installed
has excellent ventilation to the outside, for vapor and combustion gases, and a fresh air inlet.
Do not use air recycling systems.
Ventilation exhaust devices can be vapor aspirators or hoods.
The ventilation hood has to be built with non combustible material.
1.2. Clearances to combustible construction
Fig. 1 on the next page shows the minimum recommended distances and clearances from the
range to near’by surfaces.
You must provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces.
These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.

walls extending 18" (457 mm) above the top panel is 12" (305 mm).
