INSTALLATION
Any gas installation must be carried out by a registered competent person,
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.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions
or any of the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.
Page 7
Operation
Hob burner control knobs
The symbols on the knobs mean:
= no gas supply
= maximum gas supply
= minimum gas supply
For easier lighting, proceed before
putting a pan on the pan support.
Lighting the burners
To light a burner, turn the relevant
knob anticlockwise to maximum position
( ) and push down the knob to ignite.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob
pushed down for about 5 seconds. This will
allow the "thermocouple" (Fig. 1 - 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 - A)
and “crown” (Fig. 1 - B) are in the correct
position.
In the absence of electricity, ignition can
occur without the electrical device; in this
case approach the burner with a flame, push
the relevant knob down and turn it
counterclockwise until it reaches the
"maximum" position.
To switch off burners
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the
symbol ( ).
Take care when frying food in hot oil
or fat, as the overheated splashes
could easily ignite.
7
When switching on the mains, after
installation or a power cut, it is quite
normal for the spark generator to be
activated automatically.
Do not keep the control knob pressed
for more than 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light even after
15 seconds, release the control knob,
turn it the "off" position and wait for at
least one minute before trying to light
the burner again.
If the burner accidentally goes out,
turn the control knob to the "off"
position and wait for at least 1 minute
before trying to light the burner again.

rear 120 mm 220 mm
Auxiliary 80 mm 160 mm
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the
liquid simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
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.
Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result
in a fire, if over-heated.
The stainless steel can become tarnished if excessively heated. Therefore
prolonged cooking with potstones, earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is
inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil to protect the top during use.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of the cooktop and that they are
centrally positioned on the rings in order to obtain lower gas consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the rings: they could tip over or spill
their contents, causing accidents.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
It is advisable to use cast iron recipients or steak plates only on the rear burners,
so as not to damage the electronic lighting components.

Mainteinance 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.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or with a steam cleaning machine.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little wasing 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.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, the following products are recommended:
- For stainless steel hobs use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner.
- For other hobs use Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend.
Do not leave acid or alkaline substances (e.g. vinegar, salt, lemon juice, etc.) on the
cooktop.
The burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burners taps 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.
Frequently wash the "caps" and the "crowns" (Fig 1 page 7 - A and B) with hot soapy
water, carefully taking away any built-up of food.
After a thorough cleaning, refit the crown in its correct position on the burner.
The Ignition electrode
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic electrode with a metal electrode
(Fig. 1 page 7- C). Keep these components very clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check
that the burner crown holes (Fig. 1 page 7 - B) are not obstructed.
Page 10
10
The pan supports
To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports
can be removed from the hob.
Wash the pan supports using hot soapy water.
If necessary, a paste cleaner or a soap
impregnated steelwool pad can be used with
caution.
The pan supports are not dishwasher
proof; they must be washed by hand.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry
with a soft cloth. Take care when
drying them as the enamelling process
occasionally leaves rough edges. If
necessary, remove stubborn stains
using a paste cleaner.
To make burners work properly, ensure
that pan supports are placed in a way
that the arms are centred upon the
burner as shown in Fig.2.
Pay attention when placing the pan
supports back on their position, in
order to avoid scratching the hob
top.

A. EARTH CONTINUITY CHECK
Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale and adjust
zero if necessary.
— Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should
be less than 0.1 W (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts
clean and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK
Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on W (Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there
is a short circuit.
b) meter set on W (Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than × (infinity) there is
a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed
continuity check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace
the faulty component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could
be found under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning
around the fault.
