Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,

if over-heated.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

• For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.

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.
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 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.

POTTERY

Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to
cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small
for liquids, since these could easily overflow.
Moreover, the pans should not be too large for a faster
cooking. In fact, grease and juices may spread on the
bottom and burn easily.
It is better to use non-openable moulds for baking
cakes. In fact, an openable mould lets juices and sugar
leak through, falling on the bottom of the oven and
consequently burning on the bottom of the baking tray,
making cleaning difficult.
Avoid putting plastic-handled pans in the oven as they
are not heat-proof.
You should use oans with the right diameter to fit the
burner, in order to make the most out of it, thus
reducing gas consumption as in Fig. 2.
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and,
as soon as the liquid starts boiling, lower the flame
enough to keep the boiling point.

HOTPLATES

The hotplates control knob can be adjusted on six
different positions, according to your cooking needs,
from maximun heat (position 6) to minimum heat
(position 1), as shown in Fig. 3.

Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate hobs should
have several characteristics:

• they should be fairly heavy duty;

• they should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller;

1

Fig. 3

Fig. 2

• they should have a flat base to ensure good contact
with the plate (see Fig. 4).

This is particularly important when using pans for high
temperature frying or pressure cooking.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being
spilt onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with
an empty pan on them.

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.

GAS CONNECTION

Choose fixed connections or use a flexible pipe in
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.

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. 5.
Screw the parts without forcing, adjust the connection in
the required direction and tighten everything.

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.

The appliance is designed to be connected to 230 V ~
50 Hz 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. 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 manufactures declines all responsibility
should the safety laws and regulations not be
respected.

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.

ADJUSTMENT OF MINIMUM LEVEL

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

Fig. 6

FO 0392

• Light the burner.

• Turn the knob on the minimum position.

• Remove the knob.

• With a thin screwdriver, adjust the by-pass screw

positioned beside or inside the tap rod (see Fig. 7 ­lett. "a"). If changing from natural gas to LPG,
completely tighten clockwise the screw. When
converting from LPG to natural gas unscrew about
one-fourth turn by-pass pin.

• 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.
