INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a qualified installer, and

in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this

manual.

Please, ensure that, once the hob is installed, it is easily accessible for

the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

WHEN THE HOB IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the hob has been installed, it is important to remove any

protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Operation

HOB BURNERS

To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the

maximum position (

Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down for about 5 seconds. This

will allow the "thermocouple" 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 the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try

i

again.

When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is

quite normal for the spark generator to be activated automatically.

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).

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must

DISCONNECT

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 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.

Pan Supports

the hob from the electricity supply.

When washing the pan supports by hand, take care when drying them

as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary,

remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

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.

8

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.

IMPORTANT - To ensure a correct operation, a saving of energy and the long­life of the appliance, the voltage pressure of the appliance must correspond to
the recommended values. The adjustable connection is fixed to the
comprehensiveramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2".
Interpose the sealing between the components as shown in the diagram.
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 (see diagram). This connection allows the overall dimensions of the
hob plus the feeding to be contained into a depth of 30 mm.
The appliance, before leaving the factory, has been tested in order to give you
the best results.

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.

Electrical connections

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V monophase 50 Hz AC
220 V, 60 Hz electrical 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. 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 room temperature higher than 50°C.
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

The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's terminal block is of type
"Y". This means that its replacement requires the specific equipment of a
technician.

The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's terminal block is of type
"Y". This means that its replacement requires the specific equipment of a
technician.

In this case, only cable type H05 V2V2-F T90 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.

17

Permanent Connection

In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install
a double pole switch between the hob and the electricity supply
(mains), 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 electric regulations.

The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any
point.

Ensure that the hob supply cord does not come into contact with
surfaces with temperatures higher than 50 deg. C.

Adaptation to different types of gas

Injectors replacement

• Remove the pan supports.

• Remove the burner's caps and crowns.

• With a socket spanner 7 unscrew and

remove the injectors (see diagram),
and replace them with the ones
required for the type of gas in use.

• 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.

Adjustment of minimum level

To adjust the minimum level of the
burners, proceed as follows:

• Light the burner.

• Turn the knob on the minimum

position.

• Remove the knob.

• With a thin screwdriver, adjust the

by-pass screw (see diagram). If

changing from LPG to natural gas

unscrew about 1/4 turn the by-pass

screw, until a small regular flame is obtained

If changing from natural gas to LPG, completely tighten clockwise the screw,

until a small regular flame is obtained.

• Finally check the flame does not go out when quickly turning the knob from

the maximum position to the minimum position.
This procedure can easily be carried out, anyhow the hob has been positioned
or built in the working top.
