Instruction for the User

Once the hob has been installed, it is
important to remove any protective materials,
which were put on in the factory.

Hob burners control knobs

The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
right hand side. The symbols on the knobs mean that:

there is no gas supply

•

there is maximum gas supply

there is minimum gas supply

Lighting the burners

For easier lighting, proceed before putting a
pan on the pan support.

To light a burner, push in the relevant knob and

!!

!

!!

turn it anticlockwise to "maximum position".
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed
down for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1, lett. D) to be heated and
the safety device to be switched off, otherwise the
gas supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1, lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1, lett. B) are in the correct position.

To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol

• Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.

Using the hob correctly

To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will
not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (Fig. 2 -a).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.

Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.

Carefully supervise cookings with fats or
oil, since these types of foodstuff can result
in a fire, if over-heated.

Use of electric plates

(Mod. EHM 6731 - EHM 6722)

To switch on the plates, turn the relevant knob to the
required position.
The plates are regulated by a 7 position switch:
Position 0: off
Position 1: minimum disbursement of heat
Position 6: maximum disbursement of heat
The pilot light signals the connection of the electric plate.

Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semirapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.

Fig. 2 - a

It is important to note that the plate may smoke
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used
for the first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.

Using the plates correctly

• When cooking by electric, saucepans should have a
thick base and be perfectly flat in order to ensure
total contact with the plate and, consequently , perfect
conduction (Fig. 2-b).

• Occasionally , saucepans have a thin bottom and these
loose their shape over a period of time. In this manner
two of the qualities of the electric plate are lost: the
even distribution of heat and the saving of energy.
Cooking time is also lengthier.

• As regards the size of the saucepans: for best results,
the plate and the saucepan should have the same
diameter. The diameter of the saucepan may be
slightly larger; a smaller diameter is not advised.

• Never leave the plates on without a saucepan! Switch
off the plate just before the end of cooking time. Th e
heat accumulated by the plate will finish cooking the
food and save energy.

When cooking with fats or oils maximum care
must be taken as these can self-ignite when
over-heated.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

General cleaning

Wash the enamelled components with warm soapy
water. Never use abrasive cleaners

Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" with hot
soapy water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.

Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth weel
wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent
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.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is

recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.

Fig. 3

FO 2110

Pan supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof.
If the marks are particularly difficult to remove, use

common non-abrasive cleaners or specific products.
Never use steel wool pads or acids.

Ignition candle

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic
"candle" and a metal electrode (fig.1-lett. C). Keep these
components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and
check that the burner crown holes are not obstructed.

Cleaning of the hotplates

Spills on the hotplates should be removed using warm
water and a soft cloth.
Alternatively , wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a
kitchen towel (while the plates are still warm).

Periodic Maintenance

Periodically ask your local Service Centre to check the
conditions of the gas supply pipe and the pressure
adjuster, if fitted.

To ensure the good operation of the hob and its safety
features, it is necessary that the taps are periodically
lubricated.

Service and original spare p arts

This machine, before leaving the factory, has been
tested and studied by many experts and specialists, in
order to give you the best results.

Any repair work which needs to be carried out should
be done with the utmost care and attention.

For this reason we recommend that for any problem
you contact the dealer who sold it to you, or our nearest
authorized Service Centre, specifying the nature of the
problem, the appliance model (Mod.), the product
number (Prod. No.) and the serial number (Ser. No.)
marked on the identification plate.

Original spareparts, certified by
the product manufacturer and
carrying this symbol are only
available at our Service Centre
and authorized spareparts
shops.

• The periodic lubrication of the taps must be

carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.

Gas connection

Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in
stainless steel in compliance with the regulation in force.
If using flexible metallic pipes, be careful they do not
come in contact with mobile parts or they are not
squeezed. Use the same attention when the hob is
combinated with an oven.
IMPORT ANT - T o ensure a correct operation, a saving
of energy and the long-life of the appliance, the voltage
pressure of the appliance must correspond to the
recommended values.

The adjustable connection is fixed to the comprehensive
ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2". Interpose the
sealing between the components as shown in Fig. 4.
Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in
the required direction and tighten everything.

Connection using flexible non
metal pipes

When the connection can be easily inspected in its full
extent, there is the chance to use a flexible pipe
according to the rules in force. The flexible pipe must be
tightly fixed using clamps according to the rules in force.

D) Rubber pipe holder for LPG

LPG : use the rubber pipe holder «D» (Fig. 4).

Always insert the gasket «B». Then proceed with the
gas connection.
The flexible pipe should be made ready for use in such
a way that:

- nowhere it can reach overtemperature, other than
room temperature, higher than 30°C; if the flexible
pipe, to reach the cock, must run behind the range,
it must be installed as shown in Fig. 4;

- it is no longer than 1500 mm;

- it shows no throttles;

- it is not subject to traction or torsion;

- it doesn't get in touch with cutting edges or corners;

- it can be easily inspected in order to check its
condition.

The control of preservation of the flexible pipe consists
in checking that:

- it doesn't show cracks, cuts, marks of burnings both
on the end parts and on its full extent;

- the material is not hardened, but shows its normal
elasticity;

- the fastening clamps are not rusted;

- expiry term is not due.

If one or more abnormalities are seen, do not repair the
pipe, but replace it.

Important

Once installation is complete, check the perfect
seal of every pipe fitting, using a soapy solution,
never a flame

Fitting the hob to the worktop

The hobs can be installed in a kitchen unit with an
opening for insertion whose dimensions are shown in
Fig. 9. To install the hob, proceed as follows:

1) Remove the pan supports, the burners caps and
crowns and turn the hob upside down, taking care the
ignition candles are not damaged in this operation.

2) Place the sealing gasket (supplied with the hob) on
the edges of the cut out: place it exactly on the front
and rear edge, taking care that the sealings meet
without overlapping;

3) Fix the hob with the relevant screws (Fig. 10). The
traction of the screws is able to trace the sealing, any
excess of which can be easily removed.

The edge of the hob forms a double labyrinth seal which
provides a total guarantee against infiltration of liquids.
