Operation
Hob Burners
To light a burner:
F
l push in the relevant control knob and turn it
anticlockwise to maximum position;
l upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5
seconds. This will allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 -
letter C) to be heated and the safety device to be
switched off, otherwise the gas supply would be
interrupted;
l then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
Fig. 1
A - Burner cap
B - Ignition electrode
C - Thermocouple
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as
the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Centre.
If scratches or cracks are noticed on the hob
glass top, disconnect the appliance from the
electrical supply and call your nearest
Service Force Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top and the aluminium frame
using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which
a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Fig. 3
FO 2265
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If necessary, remove stubborn stains using a paste
cleaner. Never use steel wool pads or acids.
The cap and crown of each burner are secured
with two screws. To separate the two pieces, lift
the crown, turn it upside down, then undo the two
fixing screws as shown in the diagram.
After cleaning, reassemble the two parts and refit
the cap on its correct position on the burner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"electrode" and a metal electrode (Fig. 1 - letter B). Keep
these components very clean, to avoid lighting difficulties,
and check that the burner crown holes are not
obstructed.
Something Not Working?
If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before contacting your local Service Force
Centre.
SYMPTOM
n There is no spark when lighting the gas
SOLUTION
u Check that the unit is plugged in and the electrical
supply is switched on
n The gas ring burns unevenly
If after all these checks, your hob still does not operate
correctly, contact your local Service Force Centre.
u Check that the RCCB has not tripped (if fitted)
u Check the mains fuse has not blown
u Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.
u Check the main jet is not blocked and the burner
crown is clear of food particles.
u Check the burner cap and crown have been
replaced correctly, e.g. after cleaning.

of the data label is supplied in the packaging of the user
manual and must be attached to readily accessible
adjacent surfaces of the appliances.
Connection to the gas supply
Gas connection must be carried out in conformity with
the regulations in force. The appliance leaves the factory
tested and regulated for the type of gas indicated on the
plate which is situated in the lower position near the gas
connection tube. Ascertain that the type of gas with which
the appliance will be supplied is the same as that indicated
on the plate.
If different carry out all the operations according to the
indications cited in the paragraph adaption to different
types of gas.
For a maximum output and minimum consumption
ascertain that the pressure of the gas used has the values
indicated in the table of burner characteristics.
The joint is mounted on the intake area of the pipe, fitted
with a filleted nut G 1/2", between the sealing
components. Screw the parts without forcing, turn the
joint in the direction required and then tighten everything.
Connection
Carry out the connection to the gas plant only by means
of a rigid metallic pipe conforming to the regulations
in force.

FO 0264
It is important to install the elbow correctly, with
the shoulder on the end of the thread, fitted to the
hob connecting pipe. Failure to ensure the
correct assembly will cause leakage of gas.
Natural gas appliances must be fitted with a pressure
regulator and be installed at the inlet connection. The
gas pressure must then be set as a part of the
commissioning procedures.
For U-LPG the pressure adjustment is made via the
regulator fitted at the domestic cylinder.
The natural gas regulator and U-LPG pressure test point
must be accessible with the appliance installed.
C) Elbow
Important
Upon completion of installation, always check:
l that all the joints are completely sealed by using a
soapy solution, never a flame;
l that the gas pressure has been regulated to 1.00kPa
for Natural Gas and 2.75kPa for Universal-LPG. The
pressure test point is located on the regulator. The
pressure should be measured and adjusted with the
Wok burner on high flame;
l that the automatic ignition system is operating
satisfactory on all burners, both individually and in
combination;
l that the burners operate correctly, are stable, without
yellow tipping or excessive noise on high and low
flame.

socket.
If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system,
it is necessary that you install a double pole switch
between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a
minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts
and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance
with the current rules.
The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in
each part, it cannot reach a temperature 50 °C higher
than the room temperature.
The brown coloured phase cable (fitted in the terminal
block contact marked with "L") must always be connected
to the network phase.
Adaptation to different types of gas
WARNING: Servicing shall only be carried out
by authorised personnel.
Substitution of the nozzles
- Remove all pan supports, burner caps, rings and
crowns;
- With a tubular spanner no. 7 unscrew and remove
(see diagram) the nozzles substituting them with those
corresponding to the type of gas used (see Technical
data);
- Remount the parts carrying out the operations
described in reverse. Upon completion remove
existing gas type label and stick the relevant gas type
label near the gas supply pipe.
If the pressure of gas used is different (or variable) from
that foreseen an appropriate pressure regulator should
be installed on the entry tube. In case pressure regulators
for U-LPG are used these should conform to the
regulations in force.
Regulation of the minimum
To regulate the minimum:
- bring the tap to the minimum flame position.
- extract the knob.
- in case of conversion from natural gas to U-LPG, tightly
screw the by-pass screw (see diagram);
- when converting from U-LPG to natural gas unscrew
about ½ turn by-pass screw, until a regular small flame
is reached.
