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.

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

Cleaning and Maintenance

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

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply to avoid the risk of electric shock and call your nearest Service Force Centre.

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.
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.
Regularly wipe over the hob top and the aluminium frame
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.

Fig. 2

45

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a proper cleaning product is used.
The electric ignition is obtained through a ceramic "candle" and a metal electrode (fig. 1- lett. B).
Keep these components well clean, to avoid difficult lighting, and check that the burner crown holes
(fig. 1 - lett. A) are not obstructed.

Pan Supports

To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are mounted on metal pins located in the back of the
hob. To ensure a better cleaning, pan supports can
be removed from the hob. Lift up the pan suports
keeping them in horizontal position as shown in fig. 3.

Avoid lifting the pan supports at an angle, as
this will put strain on the metal pins. This may
damage the pins and cause them to break.

After cleaning the hob, ensure the pan supports are
properly placed as shown in fig. 4. 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 necessary,
remove stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.

Pay attention when placing the pan supports
back on their position, in order to avoid
scratching the glass hob top.

the height of the working top.

$$

$ Avoid installing the appliance in the proximity of inflammable materials (e.g. curtains,

$$

tea towels etc.).

$$

$ 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;

- section of transit of variuos tubes positioned on
the circuit;

- diameter of eventual connections.

Fig. 5

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.

A) Ramp with ending nut
B) Seal
C) Adjustable connection

The adjustable connection is fixed to the
comprehensive ramp by means of a threaded nut G 1/2".

All the components shown in Fig. 5 have already been assembled in the factory.

The appliance, before leaving the factory, has been tested in order to give you the best results.

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 higher
than 90°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. In this case, only cable type H05V2V2-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 (Fig. 6).
To open the terminal block and reach the terminals,
proceed as follows:

$ insert the point of a screwdriver into the visible

protrunding part of the terminal block;

$ exert a light pressure and lift (Fig. 6-b)

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 (Fig. 7), 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.

Building In

510

These hobs can be inserted in a built-in kitchen unit
whose depth is between 550 and 600 mm. The hobs
dimensions are shown in Fig. 9-a.
The edge of the cut out must have a minimum distance
from the rear wall of 55 mm.
If there are side walls, or sides of the furniture unit near
the hob, the cut out edges must have a minimum distance
of 150 mm.
Hanging forniture units or hoods must be placed at 650
mm. minimum from the hob.

Fitting the hob to the worktop

Before fitting the hob into the cut out, an adhesive seal
must be fitted to the underside outside edge (Fig. 9-b) of
the hob. 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) 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 all around the glass top
edge as shown in Fig. 10.

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 then be easily removed.

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