•Should you connect any electrical tool to a plug near
this cooking appliance, ensure that electric cables
are not in contact with it and keep them far enough
from the heated parts of this appliance.
•If the appliance is out of order, disconnect it from the
electric supply.
About Installation, Cleaning
and Manteinance
•It is mandatory that all operations required for the
installation are carried out by a qualified or competent
person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.
•Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance
work.
•Ensure a good ventilation around the appliance. A
poor air supply could cause lack of oxygen.
•Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.
•Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.
•In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.
•Once you removed all packaging from the appliance,
ensure that it is not damaged and the electric cable
is in perfect conditions. Otherwise, contact your
dealer before proceeding with the installation.
•The manufacturer disclaims any responsability
should all the safety measures not be carried
out.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.
The Hob Lid
Special lids are available on request which can give an
aesthetic alignment with the kitchen units.
•It is recommended that the lid should never be
closed when the burners are still hot.
Approach the burner with a flame. (In models provided
with electric ignition, depress the relevant switch marked
with a small spark). Then, push the relevant knob down
and turn it anti-clockwise until it reaches the "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.
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 (see the
table beside).
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.

2. Cleaning and Maintenance
•Disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply, before carrying out any cleaning or
manteinance work.
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.
Carefully wash the stainless steel components with
water, then wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
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.
In models provided with electric ignition, this feature 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 (lett. B) are not obstructed.
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.
● The periodic lubrication of the taps must be
carried out by qualified personnel, which you
must refer to also in case of malfunctioning.
● The following instructions about installation and
maintenance must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with the regulation in
force. The regulation to be applied for this type of
installation is NBN D 5I.003 : "Installations
functioning with combustible gas lighter than
air".
● The appliance must be electrically disconnected
before all interventions. If any electric supply to
the appliance is required to carry out the work,
ensure all the necessary precautions are
followed.
GAS CONNECTION
It is indispensible that the connection to the gas mains
are carried out by means of an AGB tap. Choose fixed
connections or use a flexible pipe in AGB (stainless
steel).
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.
This hob can be operated by Slochteren gas (G25) with
a nominal pressure of 25 mbar or by natural gas with
nominal pressure of 20 mbar. No regulation is required
for use by these two types of gas.
Before fitting the appliance ensure that the installation
has the correct voltage for the appliance. At full capacity,
the drop in pressure must not exceed 5%. Such a drop
in pressure is caused by the following parameters:
-maximum capacity of meter;
-diameter and lenght of the tube in front and behind
the meter;
FO 0264
A) Ramp with ending nut
B) Seal
C) Adjustable connection
Fig. 3
-section of transit of variuos tubes positioned on the
circuit;
-diameter of eventual connections.
IMPORTANT - To 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 GJ 1/2". Interpose the
sealing between the components as shown in fig. 3.
Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in
the required direction and tighten everything.
The adjustable connection allows the feeding pipe to be
situated in the site purposefully allocated on the side of
the protection box of the hob itself (Fig. 4). This connection
allows the overall dimensions of the hob plus the fedding
pipe to be contained into a depth of 30 mm.
IMPORTANT - When the final connection has been
made, it is essential that a thorough leak test is carried
out on the hob and installation. Use some soapy water,
never a flame.

5. Electrical Connection
The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V
monophase electricity supply.
The connection must be carried out in compliance with
the laws and regulations in force.
Before the appliance is connected:
1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation
can support the load (see the rating label);
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in
compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for
the electrical connection can be easily reached with
the appliance built in the forniture unit.
The appliance is supplied with a connection cable. This
has to be provided with a proper plug, able to support the
load marked on the identification plate. To connect the
plug to the cable, follow the recommendation given in
Fig. 5. The plug has to be fitted in a proper 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.
REPLACEMENT OF THE VOLTAGE CABLE
In case the connection cable needs to be replaced,
only cable type H05RR-F must be used. The cable
section must be suitable to the voltage and the working
temperature.
The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2
cm. longer than the phase wires (Fig. 5).

INJECTORS REPLACEMENT
•Remove the pan supports.
•Remove the burner's caps and crowns.
•With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and remove the
injectors (Fig. 6), and replace them with the ones
required for the type of gas in use (see table 2).
•Reassemble the parts, following the same procedure backwards.
•Replace the rating label (placed near the gas supply
pipe) with the relevant one for the new type of gas
supply. You can find this label in the package of the
injectors supplied with the appliance.
Should the feeding gas pressure be different or
variable compared with the required pressure, an
appropriate pressure adjuster must be fitted on the gas
supply pipe, in compliance with the rules in force.
