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.

DISCONNECTDISCONNECT

DISCONNECT

DISCONNECTDISCONNECT

Pan Supports

The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when
drying them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessay,
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.

Ignition electrode

The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "electrode" and a metal elec­trode (Fig. 1 - letter C). 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.

Important

This appliance must be installed by qualified personnel.
The installer shall verify the satisfactory operation of the ignition system on all
burners both individually and in combination.
The manufacturer will not accept liability, should the above instructions or any of
the other safety instructions incorporated in this book be ignored.

Regulations

This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions, local gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, AS5601 (AG601)
and any other relevant statutory regulations.

Data label

The data label is located on the bottom of the hob. This appliance is suitable for
Natural or Universal LPG. Ensure that the gas supply matches the data label. A
duplicate 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.

Installation

13

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.

14

Installation

Connection

Carry out the connection to the gas plant only by means of a rigid metallic pipe
conforming to the regulations in force.
This appliance is not suitable for connection with a hose assembly.
The joint for the entry of gas into the appliance is threaded R 1/2" (male thread).
Carry out the connection avoiding any type of stress on the appliance.
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.

Important

Upon completion of installation, always check:

• that all the joints are completely sealed by using a soapy solution, never a
flame;

• 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;

• that the automatic ignition system is operating satisfactory on all burners, both
individually and in combination;

• that the burners operate correctly, are stable, without yellow tipping or excessive
noise on high and low flame.

Then demonstrate to the customer the appliance operation and leave
these instructions.

Electrical connections

Electrical connections

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230-240 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 furniture unit.

The appliance is supplied with a connection cable provided with a 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 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.

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 Tables on page 11);

- 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

Building In

Building over a cupboard or drawer

If the hob is to be installed above a cup­board or drawer it will be necessary to fit a
heat resistant board below the base of the
hob on the underside of the work surface.
It is also recommended to carry out the
electrical connection to the hob as shown in
diagrams 1 and 2.

Building over a kitchen unit with door

Proper arrangements must be taken in
designing the furniture unit, in order to
avoid any contact with the bottom of the
hob which can be heated when it is oper­ated. The recommended solution is shown in
diagram 3.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should
be easily removable to allow easy access if
technical assistance is needed. The space
behind the kitchen unit ("b") can be used for
connections.

Fitting the hob to the worktop

Before fitting the hob into the cut out, a
sealing gasket supplied with the hob must
be fitted to the edge of the cut out. It is
essential that no gaps are left in this seal
in order to prevent spillage near the hob
seeping into the cabinet below.

1) Place the sealing gasket all around the
edge of the cut out.

2) Place the hob into the cut out and secure
it by means of the relevant fixing clamps
and screws, as shown in the diagram.

3) Remove the excess seal

The edge of the hob forms a double seal
which prevents the ingress of liquids.
